airborne/uav links
Some radios operating in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as part of an airborne relay system can extend the distance of terrestrial communication. These are mounted on tail boons on the Harris-supplied Falcon II radios, for example, when used in Shadow 200 unmanned vehicles. The range of tactical communications can be extended by up to 170 kilometeres, when flying at a typical altitude of 14,000 feet above sea level. This is far beyond the line of sight range of VHF or UHF radios.
An airborne relay payload can be produced at low cost which can greatly expand communications links over mountainous, City or rugged landscape. These are ideally suited for forward deployment. UAVs can now perform communications relays close to the forward unit because of the development of lighweight, robust and autonomous platforms.
An airborne relay can connect units operating in harsh terrains where terrestrial radio communicatons are typically screened by the terrain. Support of a variety of frequencies and waveforms, including single channel ground air radio system extends the range between users for voice and data communications, including chat text, instant messaging and imagery.
Small physical footprint and the use of cutting edge technology make Amplifer Technology's high power amplifiers ideal for video, telemetry and datalink systems for uav and other airborne applications. Discuss your specific requirements with us today and we will advise and make recommendations based on our extensive experience of airborne/uav links.
