Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers for engineers evaluating the ATS Standard BVLOS antenna tracking system for extreme-range BVLOS deployments.
The ATS Standard BVLOS antenna tracker system was field-validated by the SoarApex engineering team on August 27, 2025, achieving sustained HD video transmission, telemetry integrity, and command responsiveness across the full 110km distance. The extreme-range antenna tracking system supports a tracking range from 20km to 110km, depending on antenna gain, frequency band, and line-of-sight conditions.
The ATS Standard combines full-constellation GPS telemetry parsing with independent angular measurement. The ground station calculates precise azimuth and elevation pointing angles from the aircraft’s latitude, longitude, and altitude data, while the dual-sensor architecture maintains ±2° tracking accuracy. The 360° twist-free slip ring ensures continuous rotation without cable wrap limitations.
The ATS Standard BVLOS antenna tracker system supports both tripod mounting for fixed ground station locations and suction cup mounting for rapid attachment to vehicles, maritime vessels, and temporary observation posts. This dual-deployment capability enables both permanent infrastructure and tactical mobile operations.
The extreme-range antenna tracking system includes an integrated 14.8V/13Ah battery pack providing approximately 4 hours of field endurance. Average power consumption is ~100W, with a power supply of 16.8V/5A. The ATS-standard BVLOS system is designed for all-day operations when paired with an external power source such as our Outdoor Power Station Solution.
The integrated IP MESH data module implements a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) architecture supporting up to 32 nodes. Unlike conventional point-to-point links, the MESH topology dynamically routes around obstacles and interference sources, automatically discovering and maintaining optimal data paths as network topology changes. This self-healing capability is essential for BVLOS missions where terrain, buildings, or atmospheric conditions may intermittently obstruct direct line-of-sight communication.
The ATS Standard supports both AES128 and AES256 encryption to protect mission-critical data. For contested electromagnetic environments, the optional Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) mode delivers over 1,000 hops per second, making the signal extremely resistant to jamming and interception. The optional Intelligent Frequency Selection (IFS) capability continuously monitors spectrum occupancy and automatically selects the clearest channel.
