Aerobits is set to launch the TR-10 Mode A/C/S transponder and the TR-10i low-power interrogator, marking a significant advancement in UAS technology by the end of Q3 and beginning of Q4 2022.
These innovative devices are engineered to enhance safety in the airspace for a variety of unmanned aerial systems (UAS).With a low RF output of 10 Watts, the TR-10 and TR-10i are particularly well-suited for smaller drones where separating the telecommunications systems from the antenna can be challenging. Both products comply with the ED-102A, ED-73F, and ED-14G standards.
The primary goal of these solutions is to facilitate the seamless integration of small UAS into existing airspace. The TR-10 transponder boasts an operational range of approximately 25 kilometers, while the TR-10i interrogator operates effectively over a distance of about 10 kilometers.
Customers can choose from various options,including an external GNSS source for the TR-10 to enhance squitter functionality,and ADS-B In capability for the TR-10i. Both devices feature a USB type-C connector for rapid configuration and additional communication interfaces to simplify integration.
