Nightwatch
Unattended Ground Sensor Node
|
|
The
Nightwatch Unattended Ground Sensor Node couples multiple RF
technologies into a variable data rate system with reliable
rugged network protocols that deliver a long-lasting clandestine sensor
network. The rugged nodes have RF ranges in excess of several thousand
meters and when used with Trident's Terrain Adaptive Networking
Protocol (TAN-P), the Nightwatch delivers data and maintains
consistent unattended network stability for extended operational periods.
