Low Frequency Underwater Locator Beacon
Extended Range & Long Operational Life will Assist in Recover Efforts
SARASOTA, Fla., June 7, 2017 – Dukane Seacom (a HEICO Company, NYSE: HEI, HEI.A) has received FAA TSO-C200a and TSO-C142a for the DK180 Low Frequency Underwater Locator Beacon.
See the link below for additional details.
The DK180 Low Frequency Beacon builds on Dukane Seacom’s industry leading portfolio of underwater locator beacons for aerospace and military/defense platforms. The DK180 also meets the newly developed SAE-AS6254a minimum performance standard for Low Frequency Underwater Locator Devices (acoustic, self-powered) & the ARINC-677 installation standard. The DK180 provides common installation and maintenance practices as existing 90-day underwater locator beacons found on most commercial, business, and military aircraft.
The DK180 uses the same battery as Dukane Seacom’s 90-day recorder mounted beacons. This battery has an install-base exceeding 50,000 units, and has proven to be the safest, most reliable primary lithium ion battery for aerospace ULB applications. This battery commonality will simplify inventory and maintenance processes for airlines, fleet operators, and MROs.
“We are pleased to achieve these TSO certifications and look forward to working with customers to get this product on aircraft. The additional range the low frequency beacon provides will give search teams the additional time they need to perform their functions,” said Anish Patel, President of Dukane Seacom.
With over 40 years of industry experience, Dukane Seacom has the largest install base of underwater locator beacons (commercial, military, and business jets) with over 100,000 ULB installed on aircraft. This unmatched reliability and expertise is what airlines/operators put their trust in when purchasing Dukane Seacom products.
