The L3Harris 90-Day ULB (part number 266E5542-00) is a durable acoustic beacon that emits an ultrasonic pulse for at least 90 days upon water immersion, aiding recovery of cockpit voice and flight data recorders after submersion.
L3Harris 90-Day Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB), part number 266E5542-00, is a long-life, battery-operated acoustic locator designed to be attached to an aircrafts Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR). Upon immersion it activates via a water switch and emits an ultrasonic pulse for a minimum of 90 days to assist recovery teams. The unit is engineered to withstand impact, deep-sea pressure, and other severe conditions. It is powered by a lithium battery with an extended shelf life and requires maintenance and battery replacement by certified aviation technicians.
