UAS Connectivity
Civil Aviation authorities typically require aircraft flying in civil airspace to communicate over Air Traffic Control (ATC) radio frequencies using onboard radio transceivers.
Orbit’s Radio Gateway solution for UASs enables access to airborne radios using the aircraft’s datalink. Whether via a LOS or satellite datalink (BLOS), our solution enables UAS ground operators to access airborne radios to communicate with ATC as required. The gateway is powered by an industry-leading avionics unit installed on the UAS and in the Ground Control Station. The avionics unit includes the interfaces and required connectivity for voice transmission/reception from the UAS operator to/from the radios aboard the UAS via its datalink.
