1 T2CAS BLOCK DIAGRAMS 1.1 T2CAS Typical Installation The figure below illustrates a typical aircraft installation of the T2CAS. The system is designed as an integrated safety solution, available as a replacement to the existing TCAS 2000 LRU. The developed LRU is intended for use without modification across the range from general aviation to commercial aircraft.

System inputs and outputs are described in terms of the information driving the functions and do not describe the LRUs themselves.
