AquaARX

Unmanned Surface Vehicles and Speedboats are critical for operations around the world in coast guard, surface warfare, military operations, troop and equipment transport, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. These operations need broadband, seamless, resilient, real-time communication anywhere and anytime to make mission-critical decisions.

The AquaARX consists of a modem, a 12-inch antenna and a ground control unit. Despite the high speed of the Vehicles, the antenna’s high azimuth and elevation speeds and accelerations ensure uninterrupted communication. It transmits sound, image and data packages instantly wherever needed in the world. Instant data transmission will provide mission flexibility and enable better planning during unexpected situations.
