Introducing Aero: A Compact ADS-B Receiver for UAS
Aero stands out as one of the most compact ADS-B receivers available, specifically engineered for civil and commercial Unmanned Aircraft systems (UAS).This device is especially tailored for UAS operators utilizing the MAVLink dialogue protocol.
Enhanced Air Traffic Monitoring
Operating on a frequency of 1090MHz, Aero enables the tracking of aircraft equipped with ADS-B technology within a radius of approximately 100 km from the UAS. This functionality is crucial for maintaining safe distances between manned and unmanned aircraft, paving the way for the adoption of Detect and Avoid algorithms, which are essential for the seamless integration of UAS into controlled airspace.
Key Features of Aero
- Real-time tracking of aircraft on the 1090MHz frequency
- Compliant with MOPS DO-260B standards
- supports both MAVLink and AERO protocols
- Highly sensitive front-end with a detection range of up to 100 km (300 km with an external 1dBi antenna)
- Programmable via AT commands for enhanced versatility
- Utilizes patented FPGA-in-The-Loop technology, capable of processing thousands of frames per second
- Designed for low power consumption and lightweight performance
- Easy plug-and-play integration with MAVLink-compatible devices
Practical Applications
- Onboard monitoring of air traffic
- Broadcasting positional data
- Facilitating the implementation of Detect and avoid algorithms
