Introduction
Welcome to the 20th edition of the Unmanned Vehicles Handbook. Even the most ardent proponents of unmanned systems 20 years ago failed to predict their growth over the past two decades. However, to be fair, it has been the US-led war on terrorism since 2001 which has fuelled this growth, just as the First World War spurred the development of manned aviation. UK forces became expert in the use of EOD robots in Northern Ireland in the 1970s, while other armies also developed niche capabilities to deal with perceived limited threats from terrorism. Today, coalition forces in Afghanistan rely on hundreds of UGVs and UAVs to conduct routine operations. Although discussion continues in some quarters about whether trained pilots are need to remotely fly MALE and HALE UAVs, at the lowest tactical level on the ground it is the ambition of many armies to ensure that every infantry squad is equipped with backpackable UGVs and UAVs for around-the-corner and over-thehill reconnaissance. The US, British, Israeli and other armies are also funding development of UGVs to carry the squads backpacks. Four press releases published as I was writing this are indicative of the scale and importance of UV activity: General Atomics was awarded a $410 million US Army contract for delivery of Gray Eagle UAVs; the service also awarded a $358 million contract to AAI to procure TCDL retrofit kits for the Shadow UAV; Lockheed Martin and LaserMotive announced they had demonstrated the capabilities of an innovative laser power system to extend Stalker UAV flight time to more than 48 hours, an increase of 2,400%; and the USN announced that it had tested communications software for the UCAS-D programme aboard the USS Harry S Truman, bringing carrier operations of the Northrop Grumman X-47B closer. Although todays news is indicative of American dominance of the sector, other developments in the same week indicate that Europe is keen to close the gap. French President Franois Hollande announced that when his defence minister visits his British counterpart on 24 July, they will sign two agreements covering cooperation in the unmanned sector. At a February meeting of British Prime Minister David Cameron and Hollandes predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, the two leaders announced their intention to cooperate in UAV development. France is examining the suitability of the British Armys new Watchkeeper UAV to meet its own needs. Cameron said that joint development of a MALE UAV, expected to be led by Dassault and BAE Systems, could ensure that our respective sovereign requirements will be met in a cost-effective manner. As both countries are implementing significant reductions in defence spending, such a collaboration is a sensible way forward, especially as both aspire to maintain similar expeditionary warfighting capabilities. This handbook continues to grow, with each issue reflecting the expansion of the industry. Product entries in the handbook are free of charge, so if your company make equipment you believe should be included in the next edition, please contact the editor at ian.k@shephardmedia.com.

ADLS-2 Advanced data link system (ADLS-2) is a wireless communications system for MALE UAVs with the ability to process and transmit data from five different payloads and 24 IP sources. As an open-architecture hardware/ software composite, the ADLS-2 can be configured to meet specific customer needs, UAV types and payload capabilities. The ADLS-2 consists of an airborne segment the Air Data Terminal and a ground segment the Ground Data Terminal. The V-IP X/dX Data Packeting Interface Adapter subsystem forms the platform core of the ADLS-2 system. The V-IP X/ dX is especially designed to combine multiple streams of analogue data, gathered by a variety of UAV sensor payloads, into a unified stream of IP data packets. This data is converted to digital format, which can then be channelled over a fraction of the downlink bandwidth that would be required to send each of the sources by separate channels. The V-IP X/dX DPIA enables delivery of up to five standard analogue broadcast-quality live video sources, along with as many as 24 digital IP channels including SAR, ELINT, COMINT, EO/IR, modem, audio, interface to the UAV host, SATCOM interface and other sensor payloads. Operating range: 200km LOS, 350km with airborne or ground relay. Frequency band: L, S, C, X, Ku. Data and video rates: up to 80Mb/s or 80M chips/s. Video type: analogue or digital. Modulation methods: BPSK, QPSK, GMSK, /4 DaQPSK. StarLink StarLink is a point-to-point, full-duplex, digital data link system, specifically designed for use with midi- and mini-UAVs. It provides simultaneous transmission of C2 signals and reception of video and telemetry data between the UAV and a GCS. Resistant to jamming and interference and with provision for encryption, StarLink securely delivers real-time video imagery captured by the UAV payload straight to end users in the field and provides the best inner-link solution for interference, multipath and coexistence. Added to its low weight, StarLinks low power consumption allows extended mission range and endurance. StarLink employs a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) method that can operate in single-frequency or frequency-hopping mode, to achieve very high spectral efficiency (4MHz per channel); uplink and downlink traffic can share the same frequency while using only the part of the bandwidth required by each type of traffic. StarLinks compact and easily transportable Ground Data Terminal is mounted on a tracking system, which affords it single- or dual-axis

3G Communication Module Provides remote users with an internet connection and the ability to connect with the UAV asset from anywhere in the world. There are many possibilities of how the technology can be utilised on different manned and unmanned platforms. Current deployments have included systems where multiple remote users can connect into UAV missions and view the live video streams in real time from different regions. The UAV Vision 3G communications module is a complete communications solution for platforms that can leverage off telecommunications infrastructure and provide users with the ability to connect to the system from anywhere in the world. Digital COFDM Communications Module Used for transmitting multiple video streams and C2 data to and from any of the UAV Vision gimbal payloads. The module allows the user to fully customise the encoding of the video data (frame rate and resolution). The user can select lower frame rates with higher resolution or lower resolution with higher frame rate, depending on the application. It is low-power and lightweight and very suitable for UAV and other unmanned applications. It
