Interjet selects T3CAS for A320 order

Thales and ACSS announced that Mexico-based airline Interjet has selected the T3CAS integrated surveillance system for installation on its order of Airbus A320 jets. Interjet’s first six A320s will be delivered with T3CAS, including two in November 2012 and four in 2013. T3CAS is an integrated surveillance platform from ACSS that combines a traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS), terrain awareness warning system (TAWS) and Mode S Transponder in a single line-replaceable unit (LRU). Integrating TCAS, TAWS, and a Mode S Transponder into a single LRU saves weight, avionics bay space, and improves system reliability.
