Kratos offers a series of solid state, high reliability transponders for command and control data links, radar tracking, and Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) applications. Transponders are available to support a number of different frequency bands, including UHF, C-Band, and L-Band. We also support various command message data link formats, such as the Gulf Range Drone Control System (GRDCS), and a variety of custom message data link formats that defined to support specific mission requirements. Our robust systems support Line of Sight (LOS) communication as well as radio-relay message transmitting for Over-The-Horizon capability. Kratos can also provide custom designed transponders based on customer specific requirements.
The Multi-Service Data Link (MSDL) transponder is a command receiver, digital command decoder, digital telemetry encoder, telemetry transmitter, and target interface enclosed in a single lightweight package.
