Garmin is pleased to introduce GPS 3000, a rugged, standalone Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)/Satellite-based Augmentation System (SBAS) GPS sensor. To help aircraft meet Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) "Out" requirements, GPS 3000 seamlessly interfaces to existing avionics. It is also compatible with select Flight Management System (FMS) interfaces to support GPS guidance throughout terminal, enroute and approach navigation1. When configured appropriately, GPS 3000 is capable of providing position information to an existing and capable FMS to meet requirements for Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and can support GPS-based vertical approach navigation, such as Localizer Performance with Vertical (LPV) guidance.
GPS 3000 is designed specifically for the harsh environmental conditions encountered by larger, commercial aircraft as prescribed by DO-160 and DO-178B standards. This compact and remote-mount solution utilizes enhanced WAAS/SBAS GPS satellite signals to provide precise position data via industry standard interfaces. It also meets applicable high-integrity ADS-B position source standards, including TSO-C145d Class 3.
1 FMS must be capable of utilizing information provided by GPS 3000 to perform these operations.
