Enhance ISR Link Range Performance with the EnerLinks Tracking Antenna System
The EnerLinks Tracking Antenna System (ETAS) is a rugged, portable, and integrated high-gain antenna system that enhances the range performance of the EnerLinksIII™ full-duplex digital ISR data link. By adding the ETAS to your system, line-of-sight (LOS) range at 11 Mbps can exceed 100 nautical miles. The ETAS is packaged in three rugged cases that can be stowed in the back of a HMMVVV and deployed in less than five minutes.
Automatic Switching For Continuous UAS Link Performance
There is no need for an additional, dedicated tracking unit because all tracking algorithms reside in the EnerLinksIII Ground Modem Transceiver (GMT). A 24-inch parabolic reflector antenna provides a constant link margin with frequency, and for close range where the UAS angular velocity is high, the system automatically switches to an integrated omni antenna for continuous link performance. Downlink switching uses the diversity combining feature of the EnerLinksIII GMT so that there is no loss of downlink video or data during switching. The ETAS is configurable for L-/S-, or C-band.
