Payload Development is a Critical Step toward Enabling High-Altitude Operations

Western DataCom is proud to be one of the sponsors of the High Altitude Long Endurance aerostat symposium October 16^th and 17^th in Cleveland, Ohio at the Ohio Aeronautical Institute offices near the Cleveland Hopkins Airport. The information of the symposium is as follows:

High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Proving Station at NASA Plum Brook Station

The Need: The Army Space Battle Lab has visionary leaders who recognize the critical need for getting visual real-time pictures of battlefields. They need to communicate the information to field commanders for strategy and success of our troops on the ground. This remote sensing from the sky and communication to carious locations is a matter of national security and national importance.

The Talent: SkySentry is a private veteran owned company in the business of providing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), tethered aerostats and other vehicles with payload capabilities in order to conduct vital net centric communications and remote sensing tests.

The Skill: Western DataCom is a small Ohio company who provides secure high-speed data communication products, reliable Ka-band wireless networks and analytical intelligent video.

The Environment: The NASA Glenn Research Center’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky Ohio offers expansive land areas of secure real estate as well as close proximity to Lake Erie, challenging weather conditions and the technical facility expertise needed for high quality support of a test environment.
