RESILIENT, MULTI-BAND ISR COMMUNICATIONS FOR AIRBORNE PLATFORMS
Cubic’s Dual Channel Modem (DCM) is engineered for CDL Wideband Secure Communications, delivering simultaneous, multi-band connectivity through two fully independent MMT channels. With optional dual Type-1 encryption, the DCM ensures secure ISR datalinks for Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCAs) and other mission-critical platforms.
Supporting full-duplex Standard CDL and Bandwidth-Efficient CDL (BE-CDL), each channel operates at different security levels, data rates, and frequency bands—providing uninterrupted LOS and BLOS connectivity for ISR missions in contested environments.
Compact and ruggedized for airborne, maritime, and ground platforms, the DCM integrates low-latency IP transport, built-in video processing, and flexible operation across UHF, L, S, C, and Ku bands, with Ka-band supported via external up-conversion. Its low-SWaP design enables high-rate data links, reach-back SATCOM, and reliable real-time transport of video, voice, and sensor data.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual Independent Channels
Two redundant MMTs operate simultaneously with independent waveforms, security levels, data rates, and frequency bands—ensuring resilient ISR communications.
Mission Flexibility for Global Operations
Operates across UHF, L, S, C, and Ku bands, with Ka-band supported through external up-conversion for worldwide coverage.
Full-Duplex CDL & BE-CDL Secure Communications
High-throughput, low-latency ISR datalinks optimized for video, mission data, and IP transport—supporting AES and optional dual Type-1 encryption for classified and unclassified operations.
BLOS & LOS Connectivity
Enables simultaneous reach-back SATCOM and line-of-sight links for continuous mission coverage in dynamic environments.
Integrated Video Processing
Built-in compression/decompression reduces system footprint and simplifies integration for ISR platforms.
Rugged, Low-SWaP Design
EMI-protected, self-cooled, and optimized for UAVs, helicopters, and manned aircraft—ideal for manned/unmanned teaming and CCAs.
