Radio transceiver

for aircraft

The requirements for conducting Unmanned Air System (UAS) operations are specifically tiered to the nature of the flight operations and the specific classes of civil airspace. Aviation authorities require that an aircraft flying in civil airspace communicate on Air Traffic Control (ATC) radio frequencies using onboard radio transceivers. Orbit’s field proven end-to-end Radio Gateway enables access to airborne radios over the UAS’ datalink. Whether via a LOS or satellite datalink BLOS, our solution enables UAS ground operators to access airborne radios to communicate with ATC as required. Orbit’s UAS Radio Gateway solution is powered by a fully certified and qualified state of the art avionics unit installed in the UAV and the Ground Control Station. The avionics unit includes the interfaces and required connectivity for voice transmission/reception from the UAS operator to/from radios onboard the UAV via its datalink. Field proven, flexible and effective solution for all UAS voice communication needs Airworthiness Certified to DO-178C and DO-254 DO-160G and Mil-Std qualifications Provides voice communication over IP from the UAS operator to all radio types (analog and digital) onboard the UAV Supports voice and data relay using onboard radios Identical units for airborne and ground control station reduces the cost of ownership Voice compression standards such as G.711 / G.729 for minimizing bandwidth usage of the UAS datalink –VoIP & RoIP protocols ready Redundancy between onboard units Supports backup datalink and voice mode in case of main datalink failure
