In addition to replying to Mode A/C/S interrogations, the Kinetic L.A.S.T is also equipped to transmit ADS-B extended squitter, including position reports from its integrated GPS receiver. The unit is light enough to be body-wearable by Microlight, Glider and Balloon Pilots. Size, weight and costs have been kept to a minimum without compromising on quality or performance. Several power options are available, including 30W, 70W and 100W. Military versions are also available.
