Automatic Self-Calibration

Designed from the ground up for the BVLOS market, the Long Range Antenna Tracker, not only extends the communication range for commercial drones from 20km to a 100km, but also improves the usability of long-range drones in the hands of end users. The high-gain self-calibrating antenna tracker system enables 360° degree coverage with less than 10 point accuracy for for complex data intensive applications that ensures fast, secure simultaneous ethernet and serial based data communication to provide reliable, widened communications enabling long-range command and control between the antenna and the UAV. This includes Data Acquisition, Real Time Video Display and Mission Planning, allowing the user to collect data from both analogue and digital sensors that enables on-the-move communications needed for any tactical system, commercial application, airborne platform, or ground vehicle. Ruggedized for use in harsh environments, quick-to-deploy in the field, or to be operated in a command centre for surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions

Antenna Trackers are systems that track your vehicle’s location, and use this information to correctly align a directional antenna. This approach significantly improves the range over which signals can be both sent and received from the ground station.
