Advanced IFF Mode 5 Combined Transponder – Receiver for Tactical UAS

The RT-2087/ZPX-1 is a compact, low-SWaP Combat ID system that meets IFF Transponder and ADS-B requirements for UAS in both military and civilian airspace.

When paired with a micro-crypto like the KIV-79, even Group 2 and larger UAS gain access to NATO-standard IFF encryption. AIMS-certified, the ZPX-1 also enables upgrades such as Mode S Enhanced Surveillance, ADS-B IN, and Mode 5 Level 2/2-B receive capability to support Detect and Avoid functionality—all while maintaining a minimal SWaP footprint ideal for small uncrewed platforms.
