Commtact, an Israeli provider of advanced wireless communications solutions for manned and unmanned platforms on the ground, in the air or at sea, will showcase a complete, end-to-end data link solution for loitering munitions platforms at AUSA show that will take place in Washington in October.
The EMDLS (Enhanced Mini Data Link Solution), equipped with a small MIL-STD IP67 tactical ground station and an airborne transceiver, was specifically developed for loitering munitions. The transceiver of the small-footprint tactical solution ‒ which includes a 6-antenna array ‒ enables automatic switching between antennas. This facilitates flexible and immediate transitions between different polarizations in order to maintain optimal data link connectivity throughout the different stages of the mission ‒ flying to the targeted zone, loitering, identifying, and engaging the target.
According to Asaf Choshniak, the company’s VP Marketing & Sales, “The EMDLS was developed in response to the critical need for reliable data links for loitering munitions platforms. The company has leveraged its proven expertise to provide a full solution that delivers dependable, ultra-fast connectivity and high-quality, secured real-time video during all mission stages.”
The system’s integrated real-time video encoder ensures high quality, low latency video broadcasts throughout the entire mission. Advanced algorithms enable secure, reliable communications ‒ even in the most challenging operational scenarios, such as those found in maritime or urban environments.
