Known for its precision and solid-state design, the KTU-709 provides accurate navigation data, including distance, bearing, groundspeed, and time-to-station, when operating with selected TACAN or VORTAC ground stations. It is a key component of the BendixKing Gold Crown avionics suite, offering robust performance for both military and civilian aviation applications. [ Installation Request ](https://intel.airteam.eu/request) ## Key Features and Performance The KTU-709 features a remote-mounted unit with 252 channels, utilizing a solid-state transmitter and advanced large-scale integrated (LSI) circuit technology for reliable operation. The receiver uses a single crystal digital frequency synthesizer for electronic tuning, eliminating the need for mechanical components, which improves overall system longevity and precision. It is capable of operating within a voltage range of 18-33 VDC, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of aircraft power systems. The receiver can be configured with optional features like Tune Source Select and Frequency Agility, depending on the aircraft’s requirements, further enhancing its flexibility and performance. ## Integration and Compatibility Designed for seamless integration, the KTU-709 interfaces smoothly with various BendixKing avionics components, including the KFS 579A TACAN control unit and KDI distance measuring equipment (DME) indicators. This integration ensures that pilots receive comprehensive navigation data, improving situational awareness and operational efficiency during flight. Additionally, the KTU-709's modular design allows for flexible installation and easy maintenance, making it suitable for a broad range of aircraft platforms. Its adaptability and robust performance make it an excellent choice for both military and civil aviation needs. #### Solutions - [Border Control](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveillance-border-control) - [Maritime Patrol](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveillance-maritime-patrol) - [Law Enforcement](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveillance-law-enforcement) - [Airborne Drone Detection](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveillance-airborne-drone-detection) - [Env. & Infrastructure Monitoring](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveillance-environmental-infrastructure-monitoring) - [Force Protection](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveillance-force-protection) - [Laser Scanning](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveying-mapping-laser-scanning) - [Photogrammetry](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveying-mapping-photogrammetry) - [Hyperspectral Imaging](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveying-mapping-hyperspectral-imaging) - [Corridor Mapping](https://intel.airteam.eu/surveying-corridor-mapping) #### Solutions - [Medevac](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-medevac) - [HEMS](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-hems) - [SAR](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-search-rescue) - [Disaster Relief](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-disaster-relief) - [Firefighting](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-firefighting) - [Env. & Resource Monitoring](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-environmental-resource-monitoring) - [Wildlife Monitoring](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-wildlife-monitoring) - [Pipeline & Powerline Monitoring](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-pipeline-powerline-monitoring) - [Oil Spill Detection](https://intel.airteam.eu/emergency-services-oil-spill-detection) #### Technologies - [Sensors](https://intel.airteam.eu/sensors) - [Communication](https://intel.airteam.eu/communication) - [Avionics](https://intel.airteam.eu/avionics) - [Lighting & Visual Solutions](https://intel.airteam.eu/lighting-visual-solutions) - [Specialized Cargo Solutions](https://intel.airteam.eu/specialized-cargo-solutions) - [Equipment & Accessories](https://intel.airteam.eu/equipment-accessories) - [Mission Workstations](https://intel.airteam.eu/mission-workstations) - [Unmanned Systems](https://intel.airteam.eu/unmanned-systems) #### Other - [Operator Workstation](https://intel.airteam.eu/operator-workstation) - [Mission Control Unit](https://intel.airteam.eu/mission-control-unit) - [Mission Displays](https://intel.airteam.eu/mission-displays) - [Capabilities](https://intel.airteam.eu/capabilities) - [Completed Projects](https://intel.airteam.eu/completed-projects) #### About us - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/airteamcz) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/airteameu/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/air-team-eu) © 2025 AIR TEAM Intel, s.r.o. | [GDPR Policy](https://intel.airteam.eu/personal-data-protection) | Cookie Settings | [webdesign AETO](https://aeto.cz) [Follow us on Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/airteameu) [Follow us on Twitter ](https://www.instagram.com/airteameu/) [Follow us on Facebook ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/airteameu)
