Abstract

A number of high-speed, wireless, wideband data links have been developed for military applications. Modern network oriented RF systems require network interfaces for flexibility in battlefield applications. Multiple sensor payload data streams can be integrated with voice or other applications using appropriate network interface units. These high speed RF modules are very flexible and can be fielded in either manned or Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles. Downlinks from these vehicles can be integrated with various antenna configurations or through satellite links.
