Micro-Avionix has developed an ADS-B suitable for UAVs of all sizes to improve flying safety for all.  The ping™ is the world’s first family of ultralight weight, low cost, ADS-B transponders.

Weights range from an astounding 1.5 to 30 grams, depending on the type of performance capability desired.   (The ping2020™, for instance, is capable of IN on both 1090ES and 978UAT, and OUT on 978UAT).  The products are fully compliant with the Minimum Performance Standards of DO-282B Class A1S.

Combining this product with proposed FAA rule changes (mandating incorporation of ADS-B on all aircraft) mitigates existing traffic concerns for both manned and unmanned pilots and operators, and leads to full and safe UAS integration into the National Airspace System.
