Skylink
Navigation & Situational Awareness System
Enhance free fall operations
SkyLink™ enhances the operational capabilities of military and civilian free fall missions by improving the environmental, geographic, and team situational awareness of individual parachutists – increasing safety during poor weather and night insertions, and offering critical in-flight re-tasking abilities for both personnel and guided cargo systems.
When integrated with MMIST’s Sherpa™, Drop Sondes and LaunchPADS™ Mission Management system, users benefit from the latest techniques, tactics, and procedures for Special Operation Insertions. SkyLink™ provides a comprehensive solution for dynamic and challenging mission environments.
Precision and Awareness in Every Descent
- Advanced Guidance Systems: Skylink™ utilizes cutting-edge guidance and navigation control technology to ensure that every delivery is on target, reducing the risk of error and improving accuracy.
- Robust Communication: Maintain clear and constant communication, thanks to Skylink’s data and voice communication options.
- Enhanced Coordination: Improve mission planning, coordination, and execution with real-time data and re-tasking.
- Durable Design: Built to withstand the challenging environments of a fight through system, Skylink’s robust construction ensures reliable performance from ground to 40,000 ft. MSL
- Flexible Mounting Options: SkyLink™ mounts to existing Soldier equipment (M.O.L.L.E.)
- Improved Safety: Easily locate and monitor the location of other jumpers and airborne cargo, and receive collision avoidance proximity alerts.
Key Performance Characteristics
SkyLink™ puts parachutists in the driver’s seat, giving them access to the following information and features:
- Parachutist’s position, speed, and altitude
- Waypoint navigation capability
- Compatible with map imagery, DTED, and scenery files
- ETA, distance and azimuth to landing point
- Dynamic, real-time wind calculations
- Wind line and navigational cone display
- Embedded compass and backup floating compass
- Optional user defined navigation modes
Seamless Integration
Skylink™ can be used as a Standalone Parachutist Navigation System or integrated with your existing MMIST equipment to provide a full-solution system for your mission.
- Use with LaunchPADS™ for pre-jump planning and post-jump analysis.
- Use Skylink™ to select alternate landing targets for Sherpa™ on the fly or provide full remote control from under canopy.
- Skylink™ can also be used as a ground controller for Sherpa™ as required.
