Easy installation and simple instrument interface
The DataVault ATU is easily installed into your aircraft, and once installed, offers a simple instrument interface in a busy cockpit environment.
What our customers say
“TracPlus has completely revolutionised the reporting of intelligence... It’s tracking us to and from the fire, and registers where we pick up water, and how many litres we’re picking up. Now the command centre can see how effective we are in real-time.”
