The T3CAS is a unique integrated surveillance equipment type certified on all Airbus In-Flight Entertainment Systems and
A320 family aircraft as well as all long-range A330/A340 aircraft. Connectivity

Electrical systems
This equipment developed by ACSS (Aviation Communication & Surveillance
Training Solutions
Systems, a joint venture company between L-3 Communications and Thales) features
in one single unit a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), a Terrain EVENTS
Avoidance Warning System (TAWS) and a Mode S transponder, saving the airline
TRAINING AND SIMULATION
significant weight, space and power consumption, which in turn translates into fuel savings.
CASE STUDIES
The TCAS function is delivered with the latest standard Change 7.1. This standard will become mandatory in Europe
for all new aircraft as of March 2012, and for all existing aircraft in December 2015. The TCAS also contains all the CONTACT US
new ATSAW (Air Traffic Surveillance Awareness) capabilities defined by Airbus and is compliant with future
NextGen/SESAR requirements.
ONBOARD
AVIONICS
The TAWS function features full Low RNP (Required Navigation Performance) 0.1NM (Nautical Miles) capability and BLOG
unique performance-based algorithms that take into account aircraft status (engines, weight, flaps/slats configuration, Enter the connected
gears) and atmospheric conditions (temperature, pressure) for its Terrain Advisories (TA), hence improving the level avionics world
of awareness and comfort of the flight crew.

The Mode S transponder boasts full ADS-B DO-260A certified capability, the latest definition of ADS-B OUT standard
compliant with all the latest and upcoming mandates in the world (Canada, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong). The COMMUNICATION AND
Mode S transponder software is easily upgradeable to DO-260B for subsequent mandates in Europe (2015) and US
NAVIGATION
(2020) to be compliant with NextGen and SESAR requirements.

T3CAS has already been selected by than 13 airlines today and is currently flying on six of them as part of the
controlled Entry Into Service imposed by Airbus on all new equipment.
