SATCOM for BVLOS UAV Satellite Communications & Control

Cobham Aerospace Communications is a leading global developer of state-of-the-art avionics, connectivity and SATCOM (satellite communications) solutions for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), drones, RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft systems) and other unmanned vehicles.

Our innovative, cutting-edge drone satellite communication designs enable enhanced performance and more efficient communications and control for tactical UAVs.

AVIATOR UAV 200

Superior integrated SATCOM connectivity for drone satellite communication

AVIATOR UAV 200 is the world’s smallest and lightest full-coverage Inmarsat SwiftBroadband solution for UAV SATCOM. Providing an all-in-one satellite communication and control package, AVIATOR UAV 200 has been size, weight and power-optimized for small tactical UAVs and drones, weighing in at just 1.45kg in a compact 24 x 16 x 6cm form factor.

With this new and unprecedented SWaP-conscious capability, unmanned aircraft designers can take full advantage of the higher speed connectivity of modern satellite networks, while still maximising UAV range, endurance and operational use.
