LRA-2100 LOW RANGE ALTIMETER PERFORMANCE AND FLEXIBILITY

The next-generation LRA-2100 low range The all-digital design of the LRA-2100 altimeter from Collins Aerospace delivers improves the overall accuracy of the advances made possible through our altitude solution by being able to detect extensive, proven experience with software- and filter errors associated with antenna defined radio technology. or cable leakage. Additionally, the LRA- KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS 2100 can isolate the leakage and provide The LRA-2100 is a radio altimeter that information to the maintenance computer • Lower probability of autopilot provides precise, digital height measurements to instigate the proper maintenance disconnects above terrain during aircraft approach, action and improve overall availability – Homogeneity performance landing and climb-out phases of flight. This of the system. between altimeters information is provided to the automatic – Accuracy, especially over flight control system, instrument system The digital design also eliminates ambiguity challenging terrain and objects and terrain awareness and warning system. in the altitude solution by being able to on approach more accurately determine the source of The LRA-2100 offers a wide range of multiple returns. This ability allows the • Greater safety and availability advantages through use of the industry’s LRA-2100 to identify each target and report – Antenna leakage detection most advanced technologies. These the best result. It allows the LRA-2100 and cancellation advantages include: to reject erroneous altitude returns from • Improved aircraft maintainability under-flying aircraft that persist for more • Complete digital design – Detects and isolates bad antenna than 2.5 seconds and from other ground or RF coaxial cable installation • Latest component technology and structures such as landing lights, bridges issues advanced manufacturing processes and overpasses. This capability significantly – Isolates the leakage to LRU reduces the occurrence of autopilot and cable bulkhead, RF cable • Direct drop-in replacement to LRA-900 disconnects due to variation from one and antenna and associated antenna radio altimeter to another.

Because the LRA-2100 features the latest The LRA-2100 is designed to maintain component and manufacturing technology, 1-foot accuracy while traveling over a it will significantly improve reliability runway-like surface and up to 20 feet and performance. of altitude. collinsaerospace.com LRA-2100 low range altimeter
