Cucuyo and Cavok UAS have completed flight tests integrating Cucuyo’s P-100 airborne laser communication terminal with Cavok UAS drones.
A total of twelve tests were performed to assess the integration and performance of the P-100 terminal.
Cucuyo’s laser communication technology for drones offers several major advantages over traditional radio frequency (RF) systems.
Laser communication provides significantly higher data transmission speeds compared to RF systems.
Laser communication offers superior security features such as resistance to interference and spoofing.
The P-100 laser terminal achieves a bidirectional data rate of 1 Gbps over distances up to 40 km.
Future tests will focus on further improving the robustness of the data link.
Spain was chosen as the test location due to its optimal conditions for assessing performance.
Cavok UAS designs and manufactures professional drones, offering both fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAVs ranging from 4 kg to 1,360 kg Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW).
The company selects equipment based on mission-specific requirements while maintaining safety standards.
