The ping200X, developed by uAvionix, is a lightweight and FAA TSO-Certified Mode S ADS-B OUT transponder, specifically engineered for seamless integration into unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operating within controlled airspace. This device is recognized globally by Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and regulatory bodies, ensuring that uncrewed aircraft are visible to radar systems, TCAS, and ADS-B IN receivers. When paired with the truFYX SBAS GPS, it provides TSO-certified SIL 3 positional data, meeting stringent airspace compliance standards with certified end-to-end integrity.
Optimized for low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) missions, the ping200X has a mere weight of 50 grams and dimensions of 47 × 54 × 9 mm.it operates on a continuous power consumption of just 1.5 W, with brief surges up to 4 W, and transmits at a nominal power of 250 W on the 1090 MHz frequency, ensuring robust signal coverage. The device has been rigorously tested to DO-160G standards and is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -45°C to +70°C, making it suitable for diverse environmental conditions. An integrated TSO-C88b pressure altitude encoder allows for altitude reporting up to 35,000 feet. The unit can be easily integrated with autopilot systems or can function independently using the uAvionix mini-controller, featuring simplified RS-232 interfaces for control and positional data input.
