March 2016 - Team Eagle, with headquarters in Campbellford, Ontario, has entered into a
strategic partnership with FreeFlight Systems based in Texas, USA. FreeFlight Systems
designs and manufactures products that comply with NextGen, the FAA-initiated program
designed to increase safety and efficiency in Air Traffic Management systems. Automatic
Dependant Surveillance Broadcast, or ADS-B, is a core facet of NextGen and compliments
existing radar technology with an expansive system of airborne, ground, and satellite
systems for more accurate and comprehensive air traffic control, including the provision of
location and identification of airside equipped vehicles for Air Traffic Control.
FreeFlight recently received FAA approval for their latest version of a
vehicle based ADS-B vehicle transponder to comply with Advisory Circular 150/5220-26 "Airport
Ground Vehicle Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) Out Squitter
Equipment." The latest version includes the ability to move the unit from vehicle to
vehicle, on a seasonal basis as required by the airport.
"Team Eagle is thrilled to be able to offer this enhanced ADS-B product
suite and related services to our customers," says Paul Cudmore, Team Eagle's Chief Operating
Officer. "This technology will help airports meet the challenge of managing increasingly
busy runways, and compliments our existing products and services for runway incursion and
situational awareness. With our offices in Seattle and New Hampshire, and through our
established Territory Manager network in the United States, we are excited to work with
FreeFlight Systems in bringing this affordable system to a broader market by way of our
existing airfield vehicle, equipment, software and electronics partnerships and
customer base."
"We are excited about our partnership with Team Eagle," says Michael
Frazier, FreeFlight's Director of Program and Product Management. "Team Eagle represents
a new way to position our products by specifically focusing on airfield equipment and technology
bundling which will be very important to our collective success of the
revised ADS-B product." states Frazier.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
