Aeronáutica SDLE has developed a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communicationsystem for remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS), which will be discussed inSpain at the National Congress on R&D in Defense and Security (Desei + d).This Desei VI edition will take place in Valladolid on November 20, 21 and 22at the Cavalry Academy of the Spanish Army. Aeronáutica SDLE will also take part by presenting its Flying Information Unit.
The LTE communication system for RPAS allows to establish communication between the aircraft and the control station through telephone networks, making possible to send and receive high definition videos. High quality images can be sent in real time to anywhere around the world.
Besides the transmission of data in broadband, the benefits of using this system include information encryption to ensure privacy and multipoint reception.
Another advantage is that the new communication system can be shipped as an external module on RPAS from other manufacturers.
The goal is to use this system as an addition to the radio frequency (RF) communication system used so far by the Aeronáutica SDLE RPAS. the new

The solution allows to coordinate, manage and receive the information in all those points where necessary, in a simple or multiple way, through a low weight system shipped on the aircraft and based on transmission through mobile phone networks and RF links . With this technology it is possible to get the signal from the RPAS camera to any receiver anywhere in the world and in real time, with a delay of less than one second. It is a stand-alone solution as long as it has 3G / 4G mobile network telephony coverage.

From the control unit of the RPAS or base station, it is possible to transmit the video signal of the aircraft and have quality monitoring of it.
