ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) is a system currently used on manned aircraft to broadcast their position and it is used by sense and avoid system to avoid aircraft flying too close to one another. The Ping ADS-B receiver is integrated within the ardupilot codebase, giving your adrupilot powered drone (Plane or Copter) vehicle sense and avoid capabilities, essential for integrated your UAV into the national airspace.

PingRX measures just 3.2 x 1.5 x 0.3cm which makes it the worlds smalled ADS-B receiver.
