PR96282
BINGEN, Wash., June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Sagetech Avionics (
) Inc., a U.S. aerospace technology company providing industry-leading
situational awareness solutions for crewed and uncrewed aerial systems
announced that on Friday, May 27th 2022, the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) issued the technical standard order (TSO) of the MXS, Mode
S Transponder with integrated ADS-B In and Out.

Sagetech's next-gen MXS miniature transponder provides Mode A, C, S and 1090
MHz ADS-B In/Out and is suitable for use worldwide by crewed or uncrewed
systems. In addition, each transponder comes with user-friendly command and
control software with a built-in traffic display for situational awareness or
can be used plug and play with PX4 and Ardupilot based Autopilots. The MXS is
the ideal transponder for improving aircraft visibility and safety, especially
when small size and low power consumption are critical.
The MXS is the first FAA-certified small transponder to have an integrated
ADS-B In receiver, and is the first small, certified ADS-B receiver in the
world.
Key Features:
--Unprecedented micro-SWaP
--Full diversity
--1090 MHz ADS-B In/Out
--Flexible I/O – RS232, RS422, Ethernet
--One box solution including ADS-B In/Out
"The MXS provides uncrewed and crewed aircraft OEMs with exciting options they
didn't have before, and as usual, our engineers have broken new ground with
these TSOAs," said Tom Furey, CEO of Sagetech Avionics. "Certification means
safety and trust, to know that you will reliably detect all 1090 MHz ADS-B
traffic."
Since Sagetech's MXS and the MX12B DoD-certified military IFF transponder (
) share a common hardware platform, the MX family represents the only logical
solution for an OEM positioning their aircraft in both the civil and military
markets. UAS providers can simply install the MX12B for their military
customers, or swap it out with an MXS for their civil customers: no
additional-integration, no software changes, no aircraft changes. "It's a
truly elegant solution," said Furey.
Sagetech created the micro-transponder segment and will continue to build on
their MX capabilities. Uncrewed aircraft that require a transponder will
require certified ADS-B in to integrate into a DAA system. The MXS is the
cornerstone of Sagetech's Detect and Avoid (DAA) architecture which will
support Beyond Visual Line of Site (BVLOS) operations by their customers.
Sagetech's DAA products will accelerate the next generation of UAV-based
services for both defense and civil customers. The MXS and Sagetech's
ACAS-based DAA platform will provide the most advanced, certifiable DAA system
for crewed and uncrewed aircraft with onboard, full power, low SWaP collision
avoidance capability.
