Triad RF Systems Secures Major Order for Advanced Radio Technology
Triad RF Systems has announced a significant achievement, having received a design and production contract from a leading aerospace and defense firm in South Asia.This order pertains to a cutting-edge high-powered radio system tailored for Group 2 unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Introducing the THPR1039: A Breakthrough in UAS Communication
The THPR1039 is a robust L-Band radio system, delivering 10W of power (5W per channel) and built on the SOLO8 dual-MIMO technology from Domo Tactical Communications. This system is engineered for long-distance UAS video transmission and command-and-control (C2) data links, achieving impressive RF link distances exceeding 50 kilometers in both terrestrial and aerial applications. The design integrates high-power amplification with specialized filtering, all within a user-friendly package.
Lightweight Design for Enhanced Performance
In the realm of Group 2 UAS,minimizing payload weight is crucial for optimizing flight time and mission effectiveness. Triad was tasked with creating a radio system that adhered to strict weight constraints. To address this, the THPR1039’s casing was constructed from magnesium alloy, a departure from the conventional aluminum alloys typically used in RF system housings. this innovative choice resulted in a final weight of just 32 ounces (less than 1 kg), achieving a remarkable 33% reduction compared to conventional aluminum units.
Commitment to Innovation and Performance
This initiative underscores Triad’s ongoing dedication to pioneering advancements in RF system design. by leveraging innovative materials, refined RF engineering, and efficient manufacturing processes, Triad consistently meets performance benchmarks and adheres to swap (size, weight, and power) criteria, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
insights from leadership
Dean Handrinos, co-founder and partner at Triad, remarked, “In the world of UAVs, every gram of payload is critical. Our engineering team embraces the challenge of meeting rigorous size and weight specifications. These endeavors are evident in our offerings, as we provide some of the most compact and lightweight high-power RF systems available today.”
