Sandel Primary Navigation Display and AHRS Chosen for Helicopter Fleet
Sandel Avionics has announced it has been chosen by the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF) to pro vide its 3ATI SN3500 Primary Navigation Display and SG102 Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) with unique Reversionary Attitude Display mode for a fleet of 30 new
Enstrom 480B turbine helicop ters purchased by the JGSDF. A representative of the Japanese military met with Sandel and Enstrom representatives at HAI and specified that Sandel’s package was exactly what they wanted on their new helicop ter fleet. The final purchase order was submitted to Enstrom Helicopter for the fleet purchase at HAI HeliExpo 2012. Enstrom will begin con figuring the JGSDF helicopters with the Sandel products immediately and plans call for completing helicopter deliver ies over the next three years. “It was the combination of rugged construction, crisp day light visibility, ease of opera tion, proven reliability in mili tary environments, and builtin standby horizon capability that contributed to Sandel being
chosen for this military con tract,” said Jerry Henry, Director of Sales at Sandel. He also added “Enstrom’s ability to secure contracts with organ izations such as the JGSDF speaks volumes to the quality of helicopters it produces, and we’re proud to be an Enstrom partner.”
“Sandel has been a great partner to work with on the JGSDF training program, and the SN3500 EHSI will be an excellent addition to the JGSDF’s Enstrom 480B helicop ters,” said Dennis Martin, International Sales/Program Manager for Enstrom. “Not only does it have a feature packed, modern display, it will interface with the aircraft’s TACAN system, and the Reversionary Attitude function will be a welcome safety fea
ture. The addition of the SN3500 EHSI will really help solidify the 480B as a topof theline training helicopter for the JGSDF,” he concluded. An electronic HSI (EHSI) sys tem that enhances mission readiness and pilot awareness, the SN3500 offers a unique combination of navigation and safety features, including com pass heading, moving map, GPS flight plan, RMI and traffic display. In addition, the SN3500 was designed for compatibility with both digital and analog air craft and helicopters. ◆
