Abstract

Develop MQ-9 communications capabilities including, but not limited to, encrypted and improved LoS data links to ROVER/Video Data Link terminals (VORTEX/Airborne Platform Video Data Link), Bandwidth Efficient (BE) Common Data Link (CDL) for Command and Control (C2) and ISR transmission to GCS, improved (including BE) Beyond LOS (BLOS) military Satellite Communications (SATCOM) usage, control module, and secure triple link modem. Development and integration of an IP-based remote split operations (RSO) network/infrastructure to include: Improvements to Ground Data Terminals (GDT), Design, development, and test of IP-based network interfaces, Improved Predator Primary Data Link (PPDL) capabilities, reduction of legacy C-band signal blockages, network systems managers, SATCOM and relay site capabilities upgrades, drafting Technical Orders (TOs) and support documentation, training materials, production drawings, and retrofit acceptance plans. MQ-9 PoR and AFSOC will cost share development, where appropriate, on joint efforts that are required by both programs to support the new capabilities.
