From the article linked in the first post:

"To pilot itself, the Jetstream aircraft will use data from satellites as well as on-board identification systems that log radio signals broadcast by transponders on other planes."

Though it's not clear from that whether the aircraft itself will respond to a TCAS RA, or the onboard monitoring pilots will do so. There's no suggestion that the aircraft will be flying without TCAS, or that RAs will be disregarded.
