- • Interfaces with most IFF ramp test equipment
- • EMI gasketing eliminates stray transmissions and interference

- • Provides >20 dB of antenna isolation
- • <1 dB repeatability
- • Supports GPS antennas up to 14 inches in diameter
- • Rugged design for ramp use

- • System - Simulated 3D position may be user entered in latitude/longitude/height format or 3D position may be dynamically simulated utilizing a multi-leg waypoint entry scheme. An unlimited number of navigation plans may be saved and recalled under a user assigned name. A built-in GPS receiver allows positional simulation in the form of a range, heading and altitude based on current test set position.
- • Satellite Vehicle (SV) Selection - All GPSG-1000 configurations allow GPS and Galileo satellites to be mixed. (The Galileo codes may be updated via a text file upload.)
- • Waypoints - Waypoint legs join up in 3D space, with either range rate or altitude-rate being auto calculated. Trajectory changes are calculated to simulate real world navigation, i.e. waypoint leg heading changes utilize realistic rates of turn; altitude changes utilize realistic rates of descent or climb. Way points may be entered in LAT/LONG form or automatically recalled from an airport or city database.
- • SBAS - SBAS satellites WAAS/EGNOS may be manually selected or automatically based on simulated position.
- • Setup - The setup page allows system, user and RF connection parameters to be set by the user.

- • MK XIIA AIMS certified for Level 1 and Level 2
- • Accommodates DOD AIMS 04-900A Option A (KIV-78) and Option B (KIV-77)
- • Dual I/O for diversity testing of transponders or SUM/DIFFERENCE on interrogators
- • Separate connections for direct or over-the-air testing
- • Software defined radio design allows waveform flexibility and future growth potential
- • Dual signal generator design allows coordinated signal production for interference and echo testing
- • Remote interfaces consist of RS-232, Ethernet and GPIB
- • GUI allows easy access to test features
