PilotAware Rosetta FX – Electronic Conspicuity

PilotAware Rosetta FX – Electronic Conspicuity

Introducing PilotAware Rosetta FX – Electronic Conspicuity, the ultimate upgrade for your aircraft detection system. Full interoperability with the complete PilotAware ecosystem grants you the ability to detect a wide range of Electronic Conspicuity signals, including Mode-S/3D, FLARM, ADS-B, CAP1391, and FANET.

Experience unparalleled aircraft detection with the PilotAware ecosystem, featuring Direct Detection, ATOM GRID ground station rebroadcasts, SkyGRID relay, and iGRID cellular connectivity. These advanced technologies work together to ensure your aircraft remains aware of its surroundings at all times.

The all-new PilotAware FX seamlessly integrates with your existing FLARM device, delivering full “See and Be Seen” capabilities. When connected to the PilotAware ecosystem, FX transcends traditional point-to-point Electronic Conspicuity devices. It represents a convergence of cutting-edge technology and years of expertise, setting a new standard in aircraft detection and safety.

Elevate your flight experience with PilotAware FX, where innovation and reliability meet for superior airborne awareness.

Point-to-Point Traffic Detection

PilotAware FX emits an SDR860 signal that provides ‘See and be Seen’ functionality with neighbouring airborne PilotAware equipped aircraft and the PilotAware ATOM ground station network. The direct detection and transmission of aircraft ensures a low-latency, point-to-point link, providing EC visibility wherever you are. The integrated 1090MHz receiver detects ADS-B and CAP1391 devices. All this traffic data can be fowarded onto your electronic flight bag or navigation app.

A Ground Network Built for Electronic Conspicuity

To complement the direct point-to-point detection, we have the ATOM GRID ground station network, made up of an extensive array of antennas, throughout the UK and Europe designed to uplink data directly to the FX. This unique European network enhances aircraft detection by adding EC transmission from FLARM, FANET+, Mode-S (Multilateration), METARS and more. ATOM stations communicate with each other intelligently, to ensure the FX gets the latest, most accurate aircraft positions possible.

A Pocket-Sized Relay and Rebroadcasting Device

SkyGRID® is PilotAware’s registered, innovative method of re-broadcasting traffic from an airborne platform. Imagine a paraglider transmitting PilotAware flying behind a mountain, or a jet training in a valley transmitting ADS-B; SkyGRID uses locally flying PilotAware equipped aircraft that can look down upon these aircraft, and rebroadcast their positions from a higher, and therefore better, vantage point without topographical obscuration. This rebroadcast method also helps reduce airframe obscuration, provides an additional data path redundancy and adds ground station functionality directly into the aircraft. FX is smaller, lighter and more compact than anything we’ve done before and uses 80% less power than previous devices, so is perfect for gliders and foot launched aircraft.

Cellular Data Complements FX

FX is designed to link directly to the cellular network using the hotspot on your mobile phone. Using the same low-latency VPN technique as ATOM, FX can receive significant amounts of time-stamped traffic and weather data directly from our servers. iGRID also enables instant over-the-air software updates, flight information and provides additional data path redundancy so you remain conspicuous and aware.

PilotAware Rosetta FX – an Intuitive New User Interface

PilotAware seized the chance to transform the FX user interface. It’s now fresh, streamlined, and straightforward, ensuring that from the initial setup to regular use, the process is clear and without any unnecessary distractions.

The newly introduced RADAR display is a highlight, boasting an effortless gesture-controlled zoom and customisable settings to manage the amount of data you see.

Additionally, our re-designed settings page is equipped with user-friendly guides, making it easier than ever to harness the full features of FX.

Updating FX has been simplified too, offering a hassle-free choice between over-the-air updates via iGRID or a straightforward drag-and-drop updater.

FLARM Is Just a Click Away

PilotAware designed the FX (FLARM eXtender) to work smoothly with the FLARM devices and displays you already have. It’s very simple to set up. The FX comes with two FLARM Data ports. All you need to do is connect a regular RJ12/45 cable from the FX to your FLARM device or display, or into a splitter. It’s that easy – no fuss, no hassle.
