SmartProbe Air Data Systems

Advanced, integrated solutions for modern aircraft


SmartProbe Gen II
SmartProbe
Air Data Systems
The latest generation of SmartProbe Air Data Systems
combine multi-function probes and air data computers
with stall warning and protection for a superior air data
system.
The UTC Aerospace Systems SmartProbe Air Data System is a
comprehensive, RVSM-compliant air data solution suited for a
variety of new aircraft platforms and upgrade programs. The
SmartProbe system integrates sensing probes, pressure sensors
and powerful air data computer processing to provide all critical
air data parameters, including Pitot and static pressure, air speed,
altitude, angle of attack and angle of sideslip. The system
renders greater accuracy from the air data output for improved
performance and reduced life cycle costs.
The SmartProbe system interfaces with a total air temperature
sensor to provide static air temperature and true air speed.

Decreased power consumption and reduced overheating through

superior thermal management from a built-in heater controller

Extended probe life and integrated design results in increased system

mean time between failure (MTBF) due to the heater controller and
