    Mini UAV Data Link


    The L-3 Communications Mini UAV Data Link is a small, lightweight, affordable, modular and scalable data link that enhances a mini UAVs security and range. L-3 can tailor this mechanical packaging and data link functionality to meet Mini UAV program objectives as needed. L-3's Mini UAV Data Link provides guaranteed UAV control, high quality MPEG-4/MPEG-2 or other format video transmission, data security, flexible data types and adaptive data rates with flexible bandwidths for extended range. The size, weight, and power consumption is a perfect fit for UAVs with wing spans down to 24-36 inches.

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
    At slightly over 10 cubic inches and less than 0.5lbs, with future size and weight reduction possible, L-3's Mini UAV Data Link currently provides the capability of inflight communications to and from a UAV. These include receiving in-flight way-point updates, UAV collaborative messages, transmitting sensor imagery, UAV position, status, and other custom data as required. The Mini UAV Data Link has the capability of communicating via direct line-of-sight (LOS) or beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS). Data rates are adaptable and expandable, ranging from 1kbps to 10.71 Mbps (Common Data Link [CDL] compatibility), covering the bandwidth requirements for forward Command and Control (C2) and sensor data along a secure transmission link. The Mini UAV Data Link's software programmable architecture gives users more flexibility in waveform choice. It also allows users to easily upgrade to future waveforms without changing hardware.
