Avionics Test Equipment
VIAVI avionics test equipment supports the development, manufacture, test, and maintenance of commercial, private, and military airborne electronic systems. The innovative test solutions in Astrec’s portfolio provide the critical data needed to ensure a safe flying environment, delivering the quality and performance expected from VIAVI.
Flight Line Test Sets
Portable, battery-operated test sets designed for functional testing of communication, navigation, and surveillance systems directly on the ramp. The industry-standard legacy devices IFR4000, IFR6000, and IFR6015 have been officially discontinued; their full functionality and support are now replaced by the next-generation AVX-10K platform.
AVX-10K Nav/Comm/Surv Test Set
A next-generation flight line test solution that is equivalent to and replaces the IFR4000 and IFR6000. It provides comprehensive testing for communication, navigation, and surveillance systems, integrating with the VIAVI Mobile Tech App and StrataSync reporting.
APM-424(V)5 MK XIIA Test Set
The VIAVI APM-424(V)5 easily accommodates a variety of aircraft, ground, and ship platforms to test transponder and interrogator performance. The APM-424(V)5 is a Mode 5 and ADS-B performance and capability upgrade to the TS-4530 and APM424 legacy test sets.
ADS-B INTEGRITY™ & Antenna Couplers
Specialized software application that enables performance testing of ADS-B Out equipment. Physical Antenna couplers mount directly on the antenna for RF shielding and are available for transponder, TCAS, GPS, DME, and radio altimeter testing.
Bench Test Sets & Automatic Test Equipment
State-of-the-art RF signal generators and receivers tailored for engineering development, manufacturing, certification, and return-to-service testing. Many platforms are built on modern software-defined radio technology.
ATC-5000NG & RGS-2000NG
NextGen test technology designed for engineering development, manufacturing and certification of ADS-B transponders and TCAS. Built on modern software-defined radio architectures, these platforms support current and future global air traffic control modernization mandates.
IFF-45TS & ATB-7300NG
Advanced RF signal generators explicitly tailored for engineering, manufacturing, and return-to-service applications. These powerful test benches provide highly accurate parametric measurements and signal generation for military MK XIIA, TACAN, and comprehensive ILS, VOR, and ADF navigation equipment.
Radio Altimeters and Satellite Simulators
Portable altimeter test sets offered by VIAVI are the only complete test solutions that confirm radar altimeter performance from the antennas to the cockpit indicator, proactively diagnosing altimeter issues at the component level. Full linear altitude simulation provides confidence in antenna and radio performance over all expected flight conditions, without ever leaving the ground. A GPS satellite simulator provides flexibility and convenience as compared to over-the-air or “live sky” testing by allowing conditions and parameters to be dynamically recreated.
ALT-9000 Radio Altimeter Test Set
The ALT-9000 provides altitude simulations with true RF time delay and path loss models to test any format of radio altimeter system including Low Probability of Intercept (LPI), Combined Altitude Radar Altimeter (CARA) & Next Generation variants.
ALT-8000 FMCW/Pulse Radio Altimeter Flight Line Test Set
The ALT-8000 is the world’s first and only RF-based portable radio altimeter flight line test set. The ALT-8000 is a universal test set for 4.3 GHz FMCW (frequency modulated continuous carrier wave) radio altimeters and pulse radio altimeters.
GPSG-1000 Portable Satellite Simulator
The configurable GPSG-1000 is a truly portable, easy-to-use GPS and Galileo positional simulator. It fills a gap in the market by providing a low-cost 12 channel test set that creates three-dimensional simulations.
Aircraft fuel quantity test sets and interfaces
Upgrade your maintenance with VIAVI Fuel Quantity Test Sets, featuring a unique Contaminated Probe Detection capability ensuring unmatched reliability and accuracy in your aircraft fuel system measurements.
PSD-Series Fuel Quantity Test Sets
The PSD-series, highlighted by the advanced PSD90-3, delivers proven performance for the safe and accurate troubleshooting of critical aircraft capacitive fuel, water, and engine oil systems. These versatile test sets allow operators to accurately measure capacitance and automatically detect contaminated fuel probes.
Fuel interfaces
An extensive library of aircraft-specific interface cables and units is available to support numerous rotary and fixed-wing platforms. Combined with a fuel quantity test set, these essential interfaces enable complete functional testing and direct connection to the aircraft’s fuel quantity indicating system.
