AIA Systems provides advanced fiber optic communication solutions for tethered and non-tethered drone architectures, supporting secure, jam-resistant, and low-latency data links in demanding operational environments.
Tethered drones RF-over-Fiber Low latency High bandwidth
Tethered drones: protected mission data links
Tethered drones equipped with AIA Systems fiber optic tethers provide continuous, high-capacity communications without radiating mission data over an RF link. This architecture supports real-time video, sensor data, and command connectivity in environments affected by RF jamming, interception risks, or electromagnetic interference.
01Ultra-Low-Latency Data
Direct transmission supports immediate intelligence, video, and situational awareness.
02Anti-Jam & Anti-Intercept
A physical fiber connection reduces exposure to RF jamming and wireless interception.
03Integrated Power & Data
Program-specific single-cable configurations can simplify field deployment and operation.
04High Bandwidth
Supports demanding sensor payloads, including high-resolution video and ISR equipment.
Defense applications
Forward operating base perimeter surveillance
Convoy overwatch
Tactical communications relay
Urban operations in GPS-denied environments
