The Autonomous Tracking Antenna System (ATAS) provides reliable, autonomous tracking capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is a fully self-contained unit that incorporates an onboard microprocessor and embedded tracking algorithms, removing the need for any external computing or processing systems.

The ATAS is housed in a durable, IP67-rated enclosure, offering protection against dust, water, and harsh environmental conditions. Integrated into the system are BluSDR Unmanned Mesh Radios, combined with 5-watt power amplifiers to ensure strong and stable connectivity, even in demanding or remote operational settings.

Designed with rapid deployment in mind, the system includes a built-in tripod for fast setup and an integrated cable drum for organized and efficient handling during transport and use. To support a wide range of deployment scenarios, ATAS features a selection of quick-dock, dual-polarity antennas. This includes various sector antennas for broad coverage and an optional high-gain parabolic dish for long-range or focused directional communication. Antennas are available in multiple frequency bands-including L, S, and C bands offering flexibility and compatibility across different UAV platforms and mission requirements.
