The digital links are divided into a payload systems and various ground systems;

· Payload systems

• Includes a command & control receiver, GPS, MPEG4 video and a telemetry transmitter (Module A + TR430-3G or TR430-2G)

Approximate weight of the payload system: 28 grams

· Ground Systems (various options)

• V38R Rugged PDA with TR430-2G, running Windows CE.

Low cost handheld device for short range UAV, UGV and USVs

• HMPC-1.6 Wireless helmet mounted wearable computer, running Windows XP Embedded (or Linux) (includes Module F, Module D and TR430-3G x 2 (for diversity). Optional Module C for TCP/IP + USB + on board DVR) Hands free, light weight (under 1Lbs) ground station operating with Rockwell/Collins KEO HMD display. Allows operations of a UAV while in motion.
• TA-8D, TA12D, or TA-16D tracking antenna system. A combination of 8, 12 or 16 RF transceiver modules (see below), RF power amplifiers and diversity electronics.

Allows very long-range communications with a UAV, UGV or USV from an airplane, vehicle or boat in fast motion and undetectable, unhackable and unjamable data/video/audio links among moving planes/vehicle/boats.

• Any other customer desired topology or configuration
