uAvionix, a prominent provider of Size Weight and Power (SWaP) avionics for aerospace and defense, in collaboration with their partner R Cubed Engineering, has announced the AIMS Mk XIIB certification of the RT-2087/ZPX-1 (ZPX-1). This marks the world’s first AIMS-certified Mode 5 Micro-IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) Combined Transponder Receiver (CTR) and the initial Mode 5 CTR to obtain AIMS certification when paired with the newly certified KIV-79. This milestone achievement significantly enhances situational awareness and Combat ID capabilities for tactical warfighters in the contemporary battlespace, catering to both crewed and uncrewed aircraft.

Paul Beard, Chief Technical Officer at uAvionix, stated, “Hostilities in Eastern Europe and the Pacific Rim are currently of great concern and getting a lot of thoughtful analysis on how best to address these emerging threats. If nothing else, the ZPX-1 CTR puts another, arguably more modern, surveillance and Combat ID tool into the warfighter’s toolbox.”
