Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Exercise to Assess Common Data Link (CDL) Technology

Abstract

This report describes the work performed and the results obtained from an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Exercise conducted by The MITRE Corporation and Mark Schon, Limited Liability Company (LLC). The project was conducted to implement and investigate the state-of-the-art in miniature Common Data Link (CDL) terminal technology for digital video downlink from an operational UAS. The Department of Defense (DoD) mandated Unmanned Systems Interoperability Profile (USIP) 1 for streaming UAS metadata with associated video was also implemented and investigated.
