Becker Avionics Announces Additional Capabilities for Next-Gen Digital Intercom System

Following its guiding principle to focus on the requirements of its customers and not chase the latest technology for the sake of technology, Becker Avionics announces several additional capabilities for its next-generation digital intercom system, the AMU 6500. The AMU 6500 is offered in parallel with Becker’s current intercom system, the DVCS 6100.

One of the AMU 6500's new features is 3D audio, which permits a crewmember to monitor more than one radio at a time and orientate radio channels to different positions, allowing the receiving person to isolate frequencies without changing volumes or muting the channel not currently being used. The technology is frequently utilized by command-and-control aircraft in firefighting or law enforcement. Another new feature is Bluetooth compatibility, allowing non-flight-deck crewmembers to operate in the back of the aircraft hands-free.

The AMU 6500 Digital Intercom product line has also been enhanced by the addition of the ARU 6510. The 6510 allows for the current AMU 6500 to be expanded from its current three intercom positions with a total of 12 transceivers utilizing nine stereo headsets or 15 positions using a mix of stereo and mono. Additionally, a new split-screen function in the AMU 6500 allows two users to share one AMU. Each user has access to 10 programmable buttons and an independent intercom, as well as main volume adjustments, individual VOX adjustments, and a TX selector.

Becker Avionics' diversity of mission sets and requirements allow it to develop many unique capabilities. The company's avionics are utilized in helicopters as diverse as Bell 505s, Sikorsky Blackhawks, and the NH90 program. In the fixed-wing market, Becker's products can be found in gliders, King Airs, C130s, a B17 bomber, and spacecraft fleet.
