ACM9454 Communications Management Unit
Communications Management model ACM9454 controls radio, transponders, TACANs, moving maps, and more. The ACM9454 series offers a sunlight-readable, NVIS-compatible, high-resolution, 5″ LCD display. Modular Communications Management Unit (CMU) software allows for rapid insertion of new technology and mission capabilities, and currently supported apps include moving map data entry, text messaging, DAFIF, search and rescue beacon navigation with additional capabilities developed on a regular basis. The ACM9454 is fully capable for communications with law enforcement and civil frequencies, such as VHF and maritime. For military aircraft, the ACM9454 is compatible with SATCOM, DAMA, UHF and more, and is capable of supporting numerous radios, transponders and other systems through a software control licensing fee, simplifying logistics and integration efforts. Multiple variations of connectors and data ports are available, including a drop-in replacement for ARC-210 C-12561A remote control units.
See the ACM9433 and ACM9443 for smaller, more space-saving models.
