Ninety kilometres range in high-speed radio link at sea
Summary
Thus, the BOREAL ISR drone, particularly suitable for long-distance missions, was operated with the SIMPULSE compact SDR radio technology on board which adapts its data rate to the propagation conditions, used in the SL200 on-board modem and the ground tracking antenna GRS-T200. This collection enabled a detailed analysis of the atypical reflections phenomena and radio waves propagation for modelling them and optimise solutions to prevent them. We are pleased to collaborate with SIMPULSE on this project that results a perfect knowledge of waves propagation phenomena in such complex environment" notes Michel Gavart, CTO of BOREAL SAS. The BOREAL UAV had successfully transmitted video data at maximum rate during a flight where the drone system (embedded with SIMPULSE technology) and the ground station were separated by 110km. From now on, very large-scale missions involving a high-speed radio link can be carried out, such as the surveillance of linear infrastructures, borders, and communication routes, industrial and/or sensitive sites, or the supervision of large maritime and fishing areas.
