ADS-B Mode S Transponder For ParaDrop Operations

PARATRAX is designed and developed for military freefall training operations as a portable and wearable ADS-B transponder. This device provides precise GPS based location and altitude information from the user to ADS-B Equipped Aircraft, Air Traffic Control and Drop Zone Safety Officers to ensure spatial separation and mitigate aircraft incursions in the area of operations.

Providing the active geo-reference and trajectory of an individual jumper or group of jumpers on aircraft traffic displays and ATC monitors increases safety and situational awareness for pilots and traffic controllers.
