OVERVIEW

The CDU-900 incorporates the features of the CDU-800 series CDU/CDNU, while providing powerful new capabilities.


DESCRIPTION

The CDU-900 provides powerful built-in processing capability and expansion capacity for embedded functions or interfaces to external equipment. An embedded military P(Y)-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver/processor is the first available expansion module for the CDU-900.

The embedded receiver consists of a GEM II or GEM III (GPS Embedded Module) receiver/processor and accompanying adapters designed to fill two of the three available expansion slots in the CDU-900. Additional expansion modules planned for the CDU-900 include processor and memory modules, various digital, analog or discrete interface modules for non MIL-STD-1553B applications, and modem/ data link modules. The standard and expansion capabilities of the CDU-900 make it an ideal selection for integration and control of avionics for both rotary and fixed-wing aircraft.
