Miniature ADS-B Technology (Transceivers/Receivers) and Drone Tracking Transponders for sUAS & UTM/U-Space

Aerobits specializes in the growth of compact transponders and avionics systems tailored for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones. Utilizing patented technology, our hardware and software solutions efficiently process radio signals within extremely low size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. This principle is essential to our OEM modules, which serve as the foundational elements of our miniaturized avionics offerings.

We actively contribute to global efforts aimed at integrating UAS into civilian airspace and paving the way for complete autonomy. Our expertise lies in air traffic control systems, a crucial aspect of future UTM (unmanned traffic management) and U-Space frameworks.

Our compact avionics enhance DAA (detect and avoid) functionalities for even the smallest drones, considerably improving safety for all airspace users while facilitating easier identification and tracking of UAS.
