The CMDL family has been deployed on over 1000 airborne UAV platforms, tactical manned aircraft and targeting pods.
The L3Harris CMDL 2x is a secure, rugged, low cost, low SWaP, software programmable modem product for use in size constrained military or commercial platforms as a video encoder/decoder, networked payload controller, or vehicle command and control data link. The CMDL 2x includes all modem functions and connects to a broad line of external amplifiers, RFEs, and antenna, including the popular L3Harris Multi-Band GaN SSPA. CMDL 2x offers optional AES1 encryption support and high-definition video encoding capability. It is intended for use on group 3 UAVs, targeting pods, and smaller manned aircraft.
The CMDL 2x is a member of the L3Harris small form-factor product family which is based on a common product architecture. This architecture commonality assures the maximum level of interoperability between CMDL/CMDL 2 users and users of other L3Harris radio variants. Additional CMDL 2x enhancements include; all SSPA I/O moved to the front panel 15-pin Micro-D connector, video ports changed to more robust HD-BNC connectors, and a smaller mounting hole footprint.
