The terminal is designed to be internally mounted below a protective radome/dust cover or RF transparent
fuselage section. A soft radome/dust cover is fitted for the purpose handling and environmental protection.
The terminal has all the components of a traditional aeronautical SATCOM system namely a steerable
phased array Low Gain Antenna (LGA), High Power Amplifier (HPA), Diplexer/Low Noise Amplifier (DLNA)
with an ATCt resilient mode, and a Modem that manages the interaction with the satellite network,
modulation/demodulation functions as well as providing the user interfaces.
The remaining airframe requirements for terminal operation are limited to DC power, navigation data (for
antenna steering) and heat sinking or cooling into the aircraft structure or ambient environment.

3.3 EXTERNAL INTERFACES
The AVIATOR UAV 200 has a single connector (Refer to Table 3-2) for all external electrical interfaces. See
Figure 3-3 for the connector layout and Table 3-4 for the Pin assignments for the external connector.
Multiple variations of a suitable mating connector may be constructed in order to facilitate specific customer
needs. Refer to Table 3-3 for the basic mating connector information.
