Maximum
Range
High-gain focused antenna for long transmission range
Antenna-steering uses GPS and inertial navigation data |
|
High
quality digital COFDM encrypted signals
Compatible with WISARD HandHeld & Aztrack ground
receivers |
|
NAVTRACK
Compatible
Aircraft location encoded in the signal, creating precise
antenna tracking from the ground |
|
NAVTRACK
Compatible
AzTrack’s computer decodes aircraft position & automatically
activates the correct directional antenna sector |
| |
| Providing
reliable high quality digital video and audio signals
in real-time, to fixed or portable ground receive sites,
the MX-POD includes an externally mounted antenna pod,
which houses two antennas. |
| |
| 1.
High-gain antenna |
|
Auto-steering |
|
Sends a narrow focused
microwave signal for a long range signal |
| 2.
Omni-directional antenna |
|
Provides
circular beam dispersion for close-proximity tactical
situations |
|
Allows
for multiple distributed receivers in a wide area simultaneously
receiving the downlink signal |
| |
| The
MX-POD transmits microwave signals produced by a COFDM
digital transmitter unit in the aircraft. |
| |
|
COFDM provides digital
high quality signals under difficult transmission conditions |
|
Image reception is possible
under non-line-of-site conditions (short range) |
|
MX-POD is also available
with an integral analog transmitter unit |
| |
| Integrated
into the same MCU that controls the MX turrets are
the communication, antenna steering and control electronics: |
| |
|
Control of the steerable
antenna is based on high accuracy aircraft position & information
from GPS and inertial navigation units |
|
No additional external
gyro’s, compass or compass calibrations required |
|
Aircraft position is
downlinked to receive sites using “NAVTRACK” data |
|
– Enables
ground receive sites to automatically track the aircraft |
| |
|
Air-To-Ground Solutions |
| Fully
compatible with the Wisard HandHeld digital receiver
and the 12DS200, MX-12, MX-15, MX-15D, MX-20 imaging
turrets, the MX-POD provides solutions needed for difficult
at-incident and remote applications. |
