Limited Evaluation of an 802.11b Air-to-Ground Wireless Datalink (Project 'HAVE HALO')

摘要

This report presents the results of the limited evaluation of an 802.11b wireless air-to-ground datalink between a ground station and a C-12C aircraft. Testing occurred between 10 April and 2 May 2006. This test program demonstrated the 802.11b wireless datalink reception range when transmitting at 4 Watts effective isotropic radiated power. The test team also demonstrated the utility of high resolution imagery and streaming video transmitted across the datalink. The test team identified deficiencies in operating system employment during high resolution imagery and streaming video transmissions.
