SkyWatch® HP by L-3 Communications

For superior collision avoidance technology, look to the traffic advisory system that's as affordable as it is powerful - SkyWatch® HP. Practical, cost-effective and rooted in proven technology, it provides all the features of SkyWatch®, and then some.

With a 35-Mile surveillance and display range (depending on the selected display interface), SkyWatch® HP's increased power adds an effective closure rate of 1,200 knots, allowing aircraft at speeds of up to 600 knots each to accurately track each other from a greater distance. SkyWatch® HP also offers enhanced display options such as an ARINC 429 EFIS output, and the ability to display traffic onto a variety of Multi-Function Display (MFDs) as well as weather radar indicators. Additionally, the flexible SkyWatch® HP system can be installed as either a TAS or TCAS I using a conforming display and antenna.

Fast and reliable, SkyWatch® HP tracks up to 35 targets simultaneously, displaying 8 or more of the most threatening. Like its predecessor, SkyWatch®, the HP version relies on Mode C signals to interrogate transponders of surrounding aircraft. Once SkyWatch® HP has identified an intruder, the system uses the conflicting aircraft's measured distance and closure rate to issue visual and audible warnings to the pilot. Allowing up to 30 seconds warning time for the initiation of avoidance procedures, SkyWatch® HP offers turboprop, helicopter and light jet owners and operators increased performance for their high-powered aircraft. For higher performance you can count on, look to SkyWatch® HP.
