Commtact Ltd., which specializes in the development, manufacture, and support of innovative communications systems, reveals its wireless datalink maritime solution for the first time.
Commtact developed the Maritime Data Terminal (MDT) for operation in maritime scenarios. To enable robust and reliable communication with precise auto-tracking capabilities in the maritime environment, the MDT was designed with a unique ruggedized pedestal (two axes) and the compatibility to integrate to the platform’s Inertial Navigation System (INS), or to a standalone INS. The MDT enables accurate tracking based on GPS/RSSI. The INS unit allows tracking corrections in order to get maximum tracking capabilities when harsh sea conditions exist. Exposed by the company for the first time, the MDT is fully operational and already in service.
Commtact’s MDT is a compact, fully autonomous, self-contained, ruggedized system enabling operation and reliable delivery of data even in very difficult naval environments and conditions, the company says, adding it is compliant with MIL-STD and IP67.
The MDT is based on Commtact’s legacy AMLS (Advanced Mini Link System). It implements the link between the maritime platform’s control station and an airborne or any other platform that is equipped with one of Commtact datalink products.
"Commtact's MDT is a mature and reliable system, which enables accurate tracking based on GPS/RSSI," said Shai Palti, Commtact's CEO. "Based on Commtact's own developed technologies, the MDT is flexible, robust and precise, and thus ideal for operation in maritime scenarios. Commtact's high-end communication systems are installed on many different manned and unmanned platforms worldwide, allowing to connect any platform, anytime and anywhere."
