Airborne Maintenance & Engineering Services (Airborne) in collaboration with Innovative Aerosystems (IA) and Aviation Communication & Surveillance Systems, LLC (ACSS), is developing and certifying an ADS-B In retrofit solution for Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft. The solution integrates ACSS?s SafeRouteTM ADS-B In technology with IA?s retrofit Flat Panel Display System, offering the proven situational awareness and operational benefits of ADS-B In ? via seamless integration with modernized primary flight displays.

Airborne will lead aircraft integration and certification, bringing its proven STC and modification expertise to deliver a fully deployable ADS-B In solution for the Boeing 757 and 767. Development is progressing through aircraft surveys, engineering, and certification planning, establishing a clear path to entry into service. Installation will be synchronized with scheduled heavy maintenance events, allowing operators to adopt the capability with minimal disruption while maximizing operational efficiency.

The selectable ADS-B In capabilities available have been shown by the FAA to provide the following benefits: Improved safety through better situational awareness (AIRB); Increased runway throughput (CAVS/CAS); Optimized enroute spacing, less vectoring, reduced block time (Interval Management); Reduced oceanic fuel burn at optimized flight levels (ITP); Runway surface alerting (SURF-A). ACSS is providing proven ADS-B In capabilities along with the latest TCAS requirements on our next-generation TCAS 3000SP platform. As regulatory momentum for ADS-B In continues to build in the U.S. and internationally, early adoption allows operators to capture immediate efficiency gains while positioning their fleets for potential future mandates.

The integrated solution is expected to be available in early 2027.
