EnerLinks™III - Software Defined, Full Duplex, Digital Data Link
The EnerLinksIII is an advanced digital data link transceiver optimized for high bandwidth ISR applications in Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems. It is designed to address several key communications issues related to both ISR payload data and the UAS command and control. EnerLinksIII is a fully integrated system that in one small airborne package includes:
• Two channels of video compression,
• Efficient data multiplexing from sensors, IP traffic, metadata, and serial ports,
• Reliable link performance using Turbo code FEC, and interleaving,
• Waveform options for performance, and interoperablility.
The EnerLinksIII's native GMSK modulation is spectrally efficient, allowing more UAVs to operate within the same frequency band. It also supports the use of power efficient class C amplifiers. Its inherent programmability can support requirements for other waveforms such as CDL or COFDM. Used with small tactical antennas in the aircraft and on the ground, EnerLinksIII can deliver reliable link performance to the horizon.

EnerLinks™II DVA - Effortless Digital Over Analog Links
The EnerLinks™II Digital Video Over Analog (DVA) system is a unique digital data link for operational Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems. This full duplex, all digital system converts the existing L/S band analog FM video communications link found in most Tactical UAV's into a robust, flexible digital video and IP data link while utilizing the existing airframe ISR transmitter, power amplifier, filter, and antenna. It provides all the benefits of an advanced digital data link without changing any of the UAV RF components, virtually eliminating concerns over re-engineering and replacement of tested and qualified sub-systems.
The DVA system provides simultaneous transmission of high-quality, compressed H.264 video and UDP/IP network traffic in the same bandwidth previously required to send only analog video, and by using modern FEC techniques it achieves up to 12 dB improvement in link margin over the analog system - equivalent to a 4X improvement in range performance.
