The E-Jet family includes Embraer’s line of regional jets (EMB 135, 140, 145, 170, 175, 190 and 195), the Legacy 600 super midsize and the new Lineage 1000 ultra-large executive jets. The first of the Lineage aircraft has just been delivered to Abu Dhabi.
 
The unique hardware design of the TCAS 3000SP enables aircraft operators to upgrade their suite of safety avionics by simply adding software. The TCAS 3000SP is hosted in ACSS’s Surveillance Processor (SP) which can also host a variety of safety avionics systems, including  ACSS’s new Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) product, SafeRoute. SafeRoute provides enhanced situational awareness for pilots in all phases of flight.

The full set of SafeRoute ADS-B applications includes Merging & Spacing (M&S), Surface Area Movement Management (SAMM), In-Trail Procedures (ITP), Universal Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (UCDTI) and CDTI Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS).
