Sagetech Avionics, Inc.
Sagetech Corporation provides the world’s smallest aviation surveillance equipment. Their products dominate the sUAS market and are standard or optional equipment on most production sUAS. Sagetech has been a disruptive innovator in miniature surveillance avionics since 1998. Early accomplishments include the Boeing/Insitu ScanEagle autopilotdesign and several DARPA UAV seedling projects. In 2005 they began delivering Mode C transponders for Marine Corps ScanEagles. This transponder was a first in transponder miniaturization, providing a feature setting ScanEagle apart in the UAS market: the ability to be seen by ATC radar. 2011 saw the introduction of the XP transponder family, which included a Mode S variant with ADS-B Out – the latter a key underpinning of NextGen. Additionally, Sagetech provides manufacturing and refurbishment services, notably for ScanEagle and RQ-21A Blackjack/Integrator UAS. Today, Sagetech employs 55 people distributed between two facilities. They continue to push the state-of-the-art in miniaturization, developing the MX family including TSO-certified avionics for collision avoidance in national airspace and DoD AIMS-certified micro-IFF transponders for military UAS.
