Kratos 20W and 50W C-Band Radar Tracking Transponders deliver compact, high-precision tracking augmentation for C-Band radar systems. Engineered for platforms where every gram and cubic inch matters, these transponders are ideal for small missiles, aerial targets, and UAVs.
Built on solid-state transmitter and GaAs technology, the transponder series offers low-modulation pulse voltages, exceptional reliability, and true zero-maintenance operation with unlimited shelf life. All key parameters— including transmit frequency, receive frequency, and pulse codes—are fully programmable through a standard PC interface, enabling rapid configuration in the field. When paired with the 38-4 C-Band Mini Tester, the system provides a proven, high-accuracy tracking solution for both developmental and operational flight tests.
With thousands of units deployed, Kratos C-Band transponders deliver advanced pulse-parameter capabilities that meet the latest range requirements and extend the performance of legacy C-Band radar systems. Kratos transponders streamline development, accelerate integration, and support large-scale modular-focused production while providing a proven, high-accuracy tracking solution ensuring mission success.
