Mini TAC P – II

ISTAR Video Downlink Receiver System

Gaining access to valuable reconnaissance data is critical to mission effectiveness. Today, users such as FAC/TACPs, Infantry and other lightweight mobile forces do not have the products necessary to provide them with the information needed for ultimate mission success.

Used in multiple conflicts and battle proven, the Mini TACP II is a small hand-held device designed to receive full motion video imagery transmitted from targeting pods, UAVs or other surveillance platforms. An auxiliary role is to receive video from ground based, portable surveillance systems

The LS & C band receiver will cover all the FM bands expected in theatre and can either automatically scan for active transmissions or be set to a specific pod frequency.

The universal connector allows the user to view the images in IP protocol for connection to a small tablet PC or a LAN,

When used with a small PC tablet the Mini TACP II scanning is controlled by the PC tablet using USB.

In a patrol mode the Mini TACP II can be connected to a helmet mounted display or a small screen monitor, and the frequency is set by simple up/down buttons on the interface cable.

Mini TACP II can be fitted with either a C band or an L&S band compact omni-directional purpose designed antenna.

Vehicle fit adapters enable temporary installation of the hand- held unit into vehicles with easy removal.
