Electronic Altimeter Set

Electronic Altimeter Set is a type of equipment used in airborne radar systems. It falls under the supply class Radar Equipment and belongs to the supply group Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

An electronic altimeter is a device that measures the altitude of an aircraft above a fixed reference point, usually mean sea level. It uses radar technology to determine the altitude by measuring the time it takes for a radar signal to travel from the aircraft to the ground and back.

The Electronic Altimeter Set typically includes a display unit that shows the altitude information, as well as other relevant data such as vertical speed and altitude trend. It also consists of a transceiver unit that emits and receives radar signals, and a set of antennas for transmitting and receiving the signals.

The Electronic Altimeter Set is an essential component of airborne radar systems as it provides accurate altitude information to the pilot, enabling safe navigation and precise altitude control during flight. It is commonly used in various types of aircraft, including commercial airliners, military aircraft, and general aviation aircraft.
