High Gain UAS MANET Antennas

The grant aims to develop a system to enhance the range of data communication connections between unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and other airborne or ground systems up to 50 miles at a speed of 1mb/s using commercially available radios. The project skips an initial phase and starts at Phase II, where the applicant must already have a prototype concept feasible for development. In Phase II, the…

Develop a system capable of increasing the range to up to 50 miles of an air-to-air or air-to ground data connection of at least 1mb/s while using a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) commercially available radio operating in the S-band on a large (>300 lbs GTOW) unmanned aerial system (UAS).
