UAS Command & Control and ISR Communications

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) are used for surveillance in tactical missions, homeland security, border patrol, environmental emergency response and corporate asset protection.
Tracking systems maintain a continuous communication link between the UAS and its ground station antenna.
UASs are often used to perform long range missions that require Beyond Line-of-Sight (B-LOS) control. In such cases, satellite links ensure wideband Command & Control communications and real-time imagery retrieval.
Tactical UASs, in particular, require compact and lightweight communication systems for delivering high definition ISR imagery, while maintaining a dependable C&C link throughout short to medium range missions.
