Pod based capability that allows for remote operation of Ethernet payloads removing the requirement for dedicated, line-of-sight (LOS) tactical data link. Ethernet data is routed over dedicated airborne SATCOM terminal integrated into the pod, removing the requirement to leverage acft KU-Band C2 link and allowing for higher dedicated BW for future IO/TTL/communications requirements
- In development for USSOCOM MQ-9 - Pod weight: ~25- lbs (with payloads) - Current Payload (s): Twister, Siren, Windjammer, MuRX, Vector - Payload Vendor (s): Protected, AST, SR Technologies
