Military And Research

The SBS-2 provides reliability and stability in an economical system ideal for the military and research applications. The systems main features include:

  • ASTERIX compliant data streams
  • Signal strength measurement
  • Easy to install and low power supply consumption
  • Fully unattended operation of the systems
  • Low costs for operation and maintenance all of which make them invaluable tools for research, development, analysis and bespoke applications.

The SBS-2 is designed to be used with OEM software applications but a special software display package called Obelix is available to provide a real-time virtual radar screen. Logging, reporting, database for research.

When a transponder with ADS-B is combined together with the SBS-2 the benefits for research in many areas include:

  • Investigation into technical, and operational aspects of ADS-B
  • Use of ADS-B in non-radar airspace
  • Ground to air and air to air surveillance
  • Air to air ADS-B receivers
  • ADS-B cockpit displays including cockpit display and traffic information (CDTI) technology and applications
  • Standards for ADS-B
  • Aircraft Separation Assistance Systems
  • Effects of ADS-B in improving pilots awareness of their surroundings
  • Effects of ADS-B in reducing hazards
  • Situational Awareness
  • Sense and Avoid applications

For military purposes specialist and bespoke solutions can be provided. Kinetic have developed specialist ultra-light technology for UAV use. This includes Mode-S/ADS-B receivers and transponders which are self-contained and battery-powered.
