This Request for Proposal solicits offers from industry to provide a Common Data Link (CDL) system for communication of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Command/Control (C2) data for Group 2-3 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platforms.
Recent enhancements to the Common Data Link could lead to significant growth in the portfolio of CDL platforms through integration of the mandated, standardized and interoperable CDL communications capability into smaller UAS. Greater flexibility in data rates, frequency bands, and improved spectral efficiency offer the opportunity to expand the use of CDL into Group 1-3 UAS platforms, for example, the Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (STUAS) currently under development for the Navy and Marine Corps. CDL employment was previously precluded for use in many of these UAS groups due to the limited Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) budgets of the platforms.

This Request for Proposal solicits offers from industry to provide a Common Data Link (CDL) system for communication of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Command/Control (C2) data for Group 2-3 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platforms.
Recent enhancements to the Common Data Link could lead to significant growth in the portfolio of CDL platforms through integration of the mandated, standardized and interoperable CDL communications capability into smaller UAS. Greater flexibility in data rates, frequency bands, and improved spectral efficiency offer the opportunity to expand the use of CDL into Group 1-3 UAS platforms, for example, the Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (STUAS) currently under development for the Navy and Marine Corps. CDL employment was previously precluded for use in many of these UAS groups due to the limited Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) budgets of the platforms.
