Comparing Assembled and Integrated ISR Link Solutions for Unmanned Systems

By Mike Ball / 06 Apr 2020

Triad RF Systems , a designer and manufacturer of high power radios and RF/microwave amplifiers, has released a technical article comparing the use of turnkey ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) link solutions with bolt-on amplification systems. Unmanned systems used for ISR, such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS), unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), often require high throughput, long-range radio links and ultra-reliable command and control connectivity over long distances regardless of the environment or weather.
