Brandywine - Compact Airborne Timing Unit (CATU)
- Ruggedized
- Flight Qualified
- Available with vibration-isolated OCXO or CSAC Oscillator options
- Gigabit Ethernet
- GNSS, SAASM, or M-Code supported
- Designed for GPS denied environments
The Brandywine Communications Compact Airborne Timing Unit is a robust time reference LRU designed for airborne environments.
The CATU processes time of day from an internal GPS receiver (either Commercial or Military), while generating precise dual 10MHz frequency references and dual UTC-aligned ICD-GPS-060B-compliant one-pulse-second signals (1PPS). In addition, the CATU LRU features IEEE 802.3ab (1GbE) Stratum 1 NTP Server functionality.
This versatile timing unit employs its GPS for basic disciplining of its internal Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO), and an – optional – Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC), providing holdover capabilities in a GPS denied environment in excess of 20 hours. Complimented by a low phase noise, vibration compensated 10MHz reference output locked to the 1PPS ICD-GPS-060B compliant output, the Brandywine Communications Compact Airborne Timing Unit provides unparalleled availability of reliable TOD in highly demanding fixed, and rotary-wing applications.
A commercial version with GNSS Receiver is also available.
