ADS-B Detect and Avoid for Enhanced Safety

ping978EC is designed to deliver unmatched situational awareness for your unmanned aircraft operations. Compliant with UK CAA BVLOS UAS Electronic Conspicuity regulations, this compact, lightweight, dual-link ADS-B transceiver with integrated SIL 1/SDA 1 GNSS and precision barometric sensor ensures you detect threats and are visible to nearby aircraft.

  • Product Details

    Integrated all-in-one ADS-B, GNSS, and Baro

    ping978EC is designed to meet UK CAA EC regulations for BVLOS UAS operations. It broadcasts ADS-B Out on 978MHz UAT while receiving ADS-B In from drones and crewed aircraft on 978MHz and 1090Mhz in real time, dramatically improving drone operator awareness of threats in the area, including aircraft beyond line of sight.
    ping978EC is the world’s smallest and lightest full range ADS-B transceiver. ADS-B helps aircraft operators sense and avoid possible collisions through a constant exchange of real-time position data. uAvionix has miniaturized ADS-B equipment to make it usable for small drones. ping978EC measures 25mm x 50mm x 18mm, which is a fraction of the size of earlier units. At just 22 grams (26 grams with antenna), ping978EC is ideal for UAS applications to improve safety with minimal impact to capability and performance.
