  • Aircraft Radar Altimeters lined up in this order left to right: RA-5500, RA-6500, & RA-7500.

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW TERRAIN SERIES RADAR ALTIMETERS

FreeFlight's Terrain Series aircraft radar altimeters feature the first major upgrade to RF circuitry in decades, built from the ground up, to mitigate spurious 5G interference.

  • Eliminate spurious terrestrial datalink spectrum interference including 5G, identified by an RTCA Special Committee to interfere with RF spectrums
  • Retrofit capability with legacy aircraft - utilize existing antennas, control heads, and cabling as needed.
  • Robust, reliable, and rugged enclosure designed for use in mission-critical, military-grade environments.
  • Interfaces with standalone RAD-40 and RAD-45 display indicators for smooth and accurate LED AGL readings.
  • Single and Dual Install kits available.
