Advanced C Band UAV Data Link: A Extensive Overview
The C Band UAV Data Link represents a refined and compact solution designed for high-speed digital communication in UAV missions focused on Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR).This system efficiently multiplexes video and telemetry data within the airborne unit, allowing for seamless demultiplexing by the ground station, where operators can easily access the information thru an intuitive user interface.
Optimal Performance for Various UAV Types
Thanks to its compact design and remarkable efficiency, the C Band UAV data link is ideally suited for Tactical, Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE), and High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) UAVs. The system features fully obvious 10/100 Base-T Ethernet and supports RS 232/422/485 data interfaces. To ensure robust data security, it employs the AES 256 encryption standard. Additionally, an H.264 video encoder can be integrated as an optional feature. The inclusion of Reed Solomon (RS), Convolutional, and Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) error correction techniques significantly enhances receiver sensitivity.
High-speed Communication Capabilities
The C Band UAV Data Link operates in full-duplex mode across both lower and upper C Band frequencies, achieving data rates of up to 10 Mbps. For specialized applications, higher data rates can be provided upon request. Users can select from various modulation types,including CPFSK,MSK,and PSK,to suit their specific operational needs.
