Honeywell Aviation Matericals Model TPA-100B Enhanced TCAS II Processor

The TPA-100B is a Traffic Processor Unit (TPU) manufactured by Honeywell. It is a key component of the TCAS system, responsible for processing data from transponders of nearby aircraft to provide collision avoidance guidance to pilots.

Monitors airspace for nearby aircraft using Mode S and Mode C transponder signals.

Generates Traffic Advisories (TA) and Resolution Advisories (RA) to help pilots avoid potential collisions.

Interfaces with other avionics systems, such as displays, radios, and flight management systems.

Meets ICAO Annex 10 and FAA/EASA regulations for TCAS II systems.

• Commercial Aircraft: Used in airliners to enhance safety and comply with international regulations.
• Business Jets: Provides collision avoidance for smaller aircraft operating in shared airspace.
• Military and Government Aircraft: Adapted for specialized missions requiring advanced traffic surveillance.
