Patria has signed an agreement with Airbus Defence and Space for SIRTAP datalink solution

Patria has signed an agreement with Airbus Defence and Space in Spain to participate in SIRTAP High capability Tactical UAS delivering a wide band line-of-sight datalink solution, covering aerial vehicles and ground systems in series production. 

The wide-band datalink solution is based on Patria CANDL products. Patria CANDL is designed for secure and jamming resistant communication for applications requiring robust high speed data transfer between UAVs and ground control stations even in the most demanding missions in challenging operational environments.

“We are convinced that Patria CANDL will provide high value for the SIRTAP end-users around the globe. We are glad to be a part of the Airbus’ value chain in the SIRTAP programme“, says Hugo Vanbockryck, Senior Vice President, Market Area Europe of Patria.

Furthermore, Patria CANDL offers low probability of intercept and detection, dynamic networking and beyond line-of-sight capabilities between multiple assets, making it superior also in manned-unmanned teaming. Native IP (Internet Protocol) communication for both payload data and the control protocol enables seamless integration with modern Operational Flight Programs and ground control applications. Patria CANDL is qualified for operation in harsh environments and it is easy to integrate with a wide range of aerial and ground platforms.
