Advanced Passive Mode 5 L2/2-B + ADS-B Receiver
The uAvionix ZPR integrates advanced Mode 5 Level 2/2-Broadcast IFF and 1090 MHz, 978 MHz UAT ADS-B receiver technologies to deliver comprehensive situational awareness for both military and civil airspace operations. With its robust design, low SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power), and secure cryptographic capabilities, the ZPR is optimized for diverse deployment scenarios including ground, maritime, and airborne installations.

Primary ZPR Features
Comprehensive Multi-Channel Surveillance Reception
ZPR supports simultaneous decoding of multiple surveillance signals, including 1090 MHz Mode S Extended Squitter, 978 MHz UAT ADS-B, and 1090 MHz Mode 5 Level 2 (M5L2 and M5L2-Broadcast). This ensures complete airspace awareness across civil and military environments, whether monitoring friendly assets or detecting unknowns.
Passive IFF with Secure Crypto Integration
When paired with a Mode 5 Crypto Module (KIV-77 or KIV-79), ZPR delivers full Passive Identification Friend or Foe (PIFF) capabilities in compliance with AIMS 04-900(A) Option B. This enables secure, non-emitting identification critical for both contested and cooperative operations.
Low SWaP for Any Domain
Designed with low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) in mind, ZPR offers exceptional flexibility for deployment on maritime vessels, ground vehicles, or airborne platforms. Its rugged form factor and versatile mounting options support global operations in austere or mobile environments.
Flexible Timing and Interface Options
ZPR offers multiple GNSS input options including commercial GPS, SAASM, and M-Code for precise timing and synchronization. Interfaces include both serial and Ethernet connections, simplifying integration and traffic data reporting across a wide range of mission systems.
