ISR DATA FOR THE JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER

The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Full Motion Video Data Link (FMVDL) ensures secure transmission and reception of both full motion video and still images on the F-35 platform. The system compresses and encapsulates video frames using advanced compression techniques, ensuring efficient and secure data transfer.

Cubic’s FMVDL solution is designed to be low-risk and cost-effective, fitting seamlessly into the aircraft's existing Communications, Navigation and Identification (CNI) subsystem. The software-defined, radio-based VDL solution features high-performance processing that can support future live video enhancements, while minimizing size, weight, power and cooling (SWAP-C). This system allows the F-35 to share sensor data and metadata with multiple ground or airborne units, enhancing mission effectiveness.
