The ping200X from uAvionix is a compact, FAA TSO-Certified Mode S ADS-B OUT transponder developed for reliable integration into UAS operating in controlled airspace. Offering global acceptance by Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and regulators, it ensures uncrewed platforms are detectable by radar, TCAS, and ADS-B IN receivers. Paired with the truFYX SBAS GPS, it delivers TSO-certified SIL 3 positional data, fulfilling strict airspace compliance requirements with certified end-to-end integrity.
Designed for low-SWaP missions, the ping200X weighs just 50 grams and measures 47 × 54 × 9 mm. It consumes only 1.5 W continuous power, with brief peaks to 4 W, and transmits at 250 W nominal on 1090 MHz for strong signal reach. Tested to DO-160G standards and rated for -45°C to +70°C operation, it suits a wide range of environments. An internal TSO-C88b pressure altitude encoder enables reporting up to 35,000 ft. The unit integrates easily with autopilots or functions standalone using the uAvionix mini-controller, with simplified RS-232 interfaces supporting control and position inputs.
