Description
Sagetech proposes a program that will give rise to a 150 gram Mark XIIA Level 2 IFF Micro-Transponder with ADS-B that meets all requirements for deployment in a Group 2 UAV. The device will be designed to interface initially with a KIV-77 crypto applique, but will be replaced by a micro-KIV in subsequent phases. Phase I activity will focus on singling out those requirements and tests necessary for Group 2 UAVs and documenting the results. A Phase I Option will do the same for the cryptographic applique. In doing so Sagetech will leverage its deep knowledge of small UAVs: design of the ScanEagle autopilot and avionics module; having worked on a variety of UAVs during their design (e.g., Aerosonde, Golden Eye, and Silver Fox); and having designed and fielded thousands of micro-transponders for deployment on ScanEagle and other airframes.
