Custom Carrier Board for Unmanned Aircraft-to-Ground Station Data Transfer and Processing System

Client:

A leading global security company that provides innovative systems, products and solutions to government and commercial customers in aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services.

Project:

The client needed a custom carrier board for an unmanned aircraft-to-ground station data transfer and processing system for military reconnaissance. The system had several important requirements:

• It had to withstand—and be highly reliable in—the most extreme environments, from blistering-hot deserts to bitterly cold tundras
• It had to be very small and portable
• It had to have high through-put
• It had to meet demanding military requirements
• It had to accept vehicle voltage and convert and regulate it to meet the voltage requirements of all the unit’s components.

In addition, the client wanted a working unit only seven weeks after placing the order.

Results:

RightHand Technologies delivered a custom carrier board that met all of the customer’s requirements and within the deadline. The customer was very happy with the design, and the prototype system RightHand Technologies delivered passed its live test demonstrations and performed flawlessly while running continuously for several weeks of extended field testing in the Mohave Desert. Refinements are being made to other components, and development on the rest of the system continues.
