Snow Removal
Snow removal operations often occur in low-visibility conditions. Enabling these operations with ADS-B ensures ATC as well as arriving and departing aircraft have perfect situational awareness during these critical operations.

Airport Operations
Electricians, wildlife control, aircraft tugs, and other operations vehicles are always on the move. Ensure their safety as well as others with the protection that ADS-B affords.
Squitter Map Support
VTU-20 can intelligently transmit when traveling in airport movement areas and disable transmission in low-risk areas using FAA approved Squitter Transmission Maps. Squitter Transmission Maps, vehicle ID, and ICAO addresses are field configurable with a provided PC based tool.
Visualize Air and Ground Traffic
Enabling ground vehicles to transmit on ADS-B is just the beginning. ADS-B In equipped aircraft will immediately benefit and begin to see real-time surface movement. Take your airport operations even further with pingStation 3 by visualizing ADS-B air and ground traffic on 1090 and 978 UAT for optimal fleet management, runway incursion prevention, and enhanced situational awareness.
