The system, FAA and EASA certified, detects the electromagnetic field that radiates from the lines and alerts the pilot with a visual and aural warning.

The aural warning increases as the aircraft nears the danger allowing the pilot to avoid contact with the hazard.

The single-turboshaft helicopter is a variant of the TH-28 and will enter into service with the army in the first quarter of 2011, primarily for training, according to AINonline.
