A transponder refers to a secondary surveillance radar (SSR) device installed in an aircraft. It plays a vital role in air traffic control by automatically responding to ground radar interrogations with a coded reply that includes information such as the aircraft’s identity and altitude. This helps air traffic controllers accurately identify and track the aircraft’s position, facilitating safe and efficient airspace management. The transponder codes, or squawk codes, can be set by the pilot or assigned by air traffic control for clear and unique aircraft identification.
