Patria has entered into a strategic agreement with Airbus Defence and Space in Spain to contribute to the SIRTAP High-Capability Tactical UAS program. The partnership includes delivering a cutting-edge wide-band line-of-sight datalink solution, designed for seamless integration across aerial vehicles and ground systems in series production.
The datalink solution is powered by Patria CANDL, a robust system engineered for secure and jamming-resistant communication. Patria CANDL ensures reliable high-speed data transfer between UAVs and ground control stations, even in the most challenging operational environments and demanding missions.
“We are confident that Patria CANDL will deliver exceptional value to SIRTAP end-users worldwide. We are proud to collaborate with Airbus on this significant program,” stated Hugo Vanbockryck, Senior Vice President, Market Area Europe of Patria.
Patria CANDL offers unparalleled advantages such as low probability of intercept and detection, dynamic networking, and beyond line-of-sight capabilities for enhanced manned-unmanned teaming. Its native IP communication ensures smooth integration of payload data and control protocols with modern operational flight programs and ground control systems. Additionally, Patria CANDL is qualified to operate in harsh conditions and integrates seamlessly with diverse aerial and ground platforms.
