Multiple Missions. Multiple Platforms.
One Common Data Link Solution
Cubic’s
comprehensive data link products provide intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities for land, air and sea military
operations. The data links allow military commanders to obtain
near real-time images and data to precisely locate and identify
enemy targets – anywhere, at anytime – in a network-centric
environment.
Consisting of an air data terminal and ground data terminal, Cubic’s
data link system provides secure, air-to-ground transmission of
streaming video, radar, laser, infrared and other sensor information.
Our advanced common data links feature high-bandwidth, spectrally-
efficient CDL-standard waveforms up to 274 Mbps. The products
are lightweight, cost-effective and expandable.
Cubic’s Tactical
Common Data Links (TCDL) feature an open-standard design to
ensure interoperability among multiple platforms. The data links
are adaptable to a variety of configurations for Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs), manned fixed wing, rotary wing, shipboard and
ground-based platforms.
Leveraging technologies gained from the 18-year Joint
STARS program, Cubic’s current data link programs and
products include the following:n NAVY AN/USQ-167 CDL – The
U.S. Navy’s next-generation communications data link system.
It is the first Navy CDL that can support
all standard CDL network interfaces. It is faster, lighter and
more cost-
effective than current shipboard systems.
