Aircraft power cabling and aircraft plugs are subjected to extremes of wear, impact damage and rough handling. As a result, power cables and aircraft plugs are a constant source of problems at busy airports, with any failure potentially having an impact on safety, turn-round times and costs. The Sidewinder-2 cable carrier system is SAS second generation of cable carrier, aiming at eliminating any cable damage while deploying power to the aircraft even faster (<15 seconds). Saving minutes in APU fuel burn, and with further reductions in CO2 emissions, the savings are substantial over the lifetime of the equipment. The Sidewinder-2 is compatible with any 400Hz aircraft. When compared with any other type of cable carrier, Sidewinder-2 has the lowest lifecycle cost of ownership, thanks to key design features such as low resistance wheels and robust drag link chains.

The JST series towing tractors are designed to tow baggage carts, towable GSEs and cargo trailers. They are available with a maximum drawbar pull ranging from 2,000 daN (4,400 lbs) up to 3,000 daN (6,600 lbs), which fits perfectly the required capacity for such operation. The JST series towing tractors may be used exceptionally for push back operation for smaller size aircraft under certain conditions (Refer to the manufacturer for details). This unit features a rugged heavy-duty frame made to fit long operating cycles. The Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) is common to a wide range of TLD products, thus facilitating operators' handling of the unit, as they are able to go from one machine to the other with no additional training. Furthermore, when equipped with “Link” telematics, the JST can easily be monitored and controlled remotely, as part of fleet supervision software. Designed with adaptability in mind, the tractor is available with multiple engine packages to meet various environmental regulations' requirements. The JST is ergonomically designed to provide maximum driving comfort and excellent all-around visibility.

V-BAT Teams is powered by Hivemind, the world’s best AI pilot and the most strategic defense tech of our generation. AI pilots enable aircraft to maneuver without GPS or communications and enable the concept of intelligent teaming – the ability to autonomously read and react to each other, adversaries, and the environment to accomplish the mission.
