DUAL INDEPENDENT WAVEFORM-SELECTABLE CHANNELS

Developed for the U.S. Navy MQ-8C Fire Scout VTUAV air vehicle, the Dual Channel Modem (DCM) is environmentally rugged with EMI-protected assembly. The modem houses two fully redundant, multiband miniature transceivers (MMTs); two Type 1 encryption modules capable of handling MIL-STD-704 input, and an integrated RF switch array that enables either MMT to behave as a Platform Communications Element, a Surface Communications Element or a SATCOM modem.
