CORSARIO PROJECT
RESILIENT SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS FOR ROTARY WINGS INTEGRATED AND OPERATIONAL
El proyecto CORSARIO (PTAG-20231002) ha sido subvencionado por el CDTI y apoyado por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades. Pertenece a la convocatoria Programa Tecnológico Aeronáutico 2023, bajo el Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia, y concretamente, a la categoría de Sistemas de comunicaciones y de misión.
The main objective of the project (RESILIENT SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS FOR ROTARY WINGS INTEGRATED AND OPERATIONAL) is the development of a satellite communications system SATCOM or DSA (Deep Space Antenna) Ka-band terminal for Rotary Wing Aircraft, equipped with a new distributed antenna technology with ESA electronic pointing and focused on connections with geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites, to increase the communication and control capabilities of rotary wing aircraft, while reducing their environmental impact.
Project objectives
- Research and development in new enabling technologies and new design approaches.
- Increased antenna performance.
- Reduction of weight, aerodynamic drag and energy consumption.
- Introduction of low-profile antennas with electronic pointing capability in the civilian domain.
- Overcoming technological limitations to which the sector has not been able to respond due to the high degree of technical complexity.
- Positioning of the Spanish aeronautical industry at the technological forefront in the development and manufacture of this type of communications systems.
