PROGRAM GOAL
: To get proven Mode 5/ADS-B test equipment to system integrators as early as possible to meet impending Mode 5/ADS-B integration and deployment schedules. The January 1, 2020 deadline for Mode 5 IFF is rapidly approaching for all NATO countries and international allies. To support our international user community, Tel-Instrument is introducing its “DRIVE TO MODE 5” program to guarantee preferred pricing and delivery dates. It is effective immediately and will remain in effect through December 31, 2017:

The Mode 5 upgrade process is a massive endeavour involving thousands of aircraft, ships and ground-based installations. Based on our experience with the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, it will be a complex and challenging upgrade for the technical teams responsible for Mode 5 and ADS-B integration and deployments. One requirement for successful Mode 5/ADS-B integration is proven, user-friendly test equipment. The Tel-Instrument USM-708, USM-719 and TS-4530A testers have been selected by the U.S. military for all of their Mode 5 flight-line testing needs. Tel-Instrument has delivered over 5,000 of these test sets and they continue to be updated as required based on evolving AIMS requirements.


Tel-Instrument is also introducing a new Mode 5/ADS-B test set called the T-47/M5 that can use either the KIV-77 or KIV-78 crypto applique. A cost-effective upgrade KIT is also available to convert existing Tel-Instrument 480A and T-47 series Mode 4/TACAN test sets to the T-47/M5, extending their life by giving them Mode 5/ADS-B test capability.
