RP-Air Ground Equipment
The RP-Air Ground Equipment (AGE) has been designed specifically for the aircraft ground support environment. Flight line environmental and EMC conditions are often dangerously extreme. Military aircraft operate in freezing temperatures, baking sun, driving rain, sand, dust, salt, fog and other extreme conditions.
Plus, being co-located with very powerful radio transmitters and explosive substances further complicates the transmission of data. Our RP-AGE performs reliably in these challenging circumstances - because we understand that lives depend on it.
