L-3 Aviation Products has announced that its Lynx® NGT-9000 line of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) products will interface with the Aspen Evolution line of Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) and Primary Flight Displays (PFDs). The interface will include the display of ADS-B weather and traffic data from the NGT-9000’s ADS-B receiver onto the Aspen display(s). Additionally, Lynx NextGen Active Traffic® from the NGT-9000+ model will display active TAS traffic onto the Aspen display(s).

“Aspen is exactly the type of forward-looking company we enjoy teaming with,” said Larry Riddle, L-3 Aviation Products vice president of marketing and sales for business, regional and general aviation. “What they are doing for cockpit display technology is what Lynx is doing for ADS-B technology. The entire GA community benefits when avionics manufacturers work together to bring integrated and affordable technologies to the cockpit.”

The Lynx NGT-9000 ports data to the Aspen Evolution display(s) using the popular RS-232 interface. Traffic and weather data can be overlaid on the Aspen’s Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) and moving map windows. Traffic can also be viewed on a dedicated page and on the Synthetic Vision Attitude Indicator. While the Lynx NGT-9000 displays traffic and weather on its own touchscreen display, pilots can choose to view certain data on the Lynx display and other data on the Aspen display. This multi-display configuration allows pilots to view more information simultaneously and configure the data to their flying needs.

The Lynx NGT-9000 is the world’s first touchscreen Mode S ES transponder that is also a display for ADS-B In data including traffic, NEXRAD graphical and textual weather as well as moving maps. Up to the minute Notice To Airmen (NOTAMs), Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) and Winds and Temps Aloft data are also included. The Lynx NGT-9000 is a Dual Mode 1090ES ADS-B Out plus 1090 and 978 ADS-B In device that is designed for 14 V or 28 V installations. L-3 NextGen Active Traffic® is an available option that is integrated directly in the Lynx NGT-9000, eliminating the need for a remote box.

Internal active traffic and/or ADS-B antenna diversity are available options for the NGT-9000. A Wi-Fi interface module provides connectivity to iPad® and Android™ devices, with applications such as Wing Pro and SkyRadar (other apps pending). All Lynx MSS models incorporate an embedded position source (WAAS-GPS) requiring no external GPS connections.

A free app is available that simulates the Lynx touch screen on iPad and Android tablets. Please visit L-3Lynx.com for further details on the complete Lynx family of ADS-B products, as well as for links to the Apple® and Android apps. The site also includes an interactive demo for those accessing it via a PC.
