Systems (UAS). ZPX transponders, receivers, and Combined Transponder Receiver (CTR) deliver
functionality and performance like those on crewed aircraft, but at a Size, Weight, and Power
(SWaP) for carriage by tactical UAS, even those weighing only 6 kg (Group 1). Supporting these
devices are crypto emulators, also available from uAvionix, that enable Mode 5 development
and testing without the security burdens imposed by actual crypto use. ZPX equipment, by
possessing Mode S/1090ES ADS-B functionality, complies with civil airspace requirements and
simplifies equipage of military aircraft needing to transit civil airspace.

RT-xxxx/ZPX AIMS
Mode 5 IFF Combined Mk XIIB

Transponder Receiver Pending

The RT-xxxx/ZPX (B2) is a complete, low-SWaP Combat ID system designed to satisfy TSO
C112e
encrypted Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), civil and military transponder, and Automatic C166b
Dependent Surveillance –Broadcast (ADS-B) and Mode 5 squitter requirements for Uncrewed C88b
Aircraft Systems (UAS) operating both in battlefield and civilian controlled airspace. When Derived
combined with a micro-crypto e.g. KIV-79, UAS as small as Group 1 have available the latest IFF
encryption standard used by NATO and its allies. Continuing the spirit of low SWaP, the B2 offers
AIMS-certified RT-2087/ZPX users an upgrade path that includes Mode S Enhanced Surveillance
(EHS), ADS-B IN, and Mode 5 squitter Level 2/2-B IN receive capability for Detect and Avoid.

ZPR-B AIMS
Mode 5 L2/2-B and Mk XIIB

ADS-B Receiver Pending

The uAvionix ZPR-B is a passive Mode 5 L2/2-B IFF and civil 1090 MHz ADS-B TSO
C112e
receiver system which provides situational awareness of civil and military C166b
aircraft in national airspaces or on the battlefield. The low Size, Weight, and C88b
Power Consumption (SWaP) characteristics make ZPR-B ideal for airborne and Derived
shipboard deployments, as well as for temporary or permanent ground-based
installation. The system’s design is based on hardware and software deployed in
the uAvionix AIMS-certified RT-2087/ZPX Mode 5 Micro IFF transponder.
