TCDL airborne terminal
The tactical common data link for airborne terminals provides a compact, lightweight, modular system for unmanned aerial vehicles and manned nonfighter aircraft environments.
The system design is an open architecture based on the personal computer manufacturer interface adaptor standard. This design approach allows for a fully programmable, adaptable, and scalable system that can be readily integrated with different configurations while in an operational environment without hardware changes. The data rates, modulation, and transmission frequencies are interoperable with common data link systems.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- High-bandwidth digital link allows for the rapid transmission of large volumes of data
- Flexible I/O adaptable for broad range of users (RS-170 video, digital video, RS422, MIL-STD-1553, SAR, parallel data, ethernet)
- MPEG II color video compression, an industry-standard commercial, off-the-shelf component
- Spread spectrum - anti-jam, low probability of detection
- COMSEC - internal and external secure transmission
- Flexible real-time adjustments to dynamic environment
- Expandable - easily accommodates next-generation technology and added functionality
- Affordable - commercial, off-the-shelf components, low life-cycle cost
