The CADC receives inputs from the aircraft pitot-static system, total temperature probe, altimeter baroset potentiometer, and master bus controller. These inputs are used by the CADC to compute accurate air data for the navigation system, altitude reporting for the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) transponder, analog data for the operation of two servoed altimeters, pressure altitude, mach number, calibrated airspeed, true airspeed, free air temperature, static pressure, total pressure, and total temperature. The successful bidder shall provide all labor, facilities, equipment, and material to adapt, or design and build, a CADC to meet the Fairchild Specification, ES160S0027, as modified by the Government?s Statement of Work (SOW).
