Functional Description:
The tactical wideband interoperable surface terminal (twister) is a wideband communications suite that adheres to the department of defense (dod) common data link (cdl) specification for interoperable waveforms. The hardware is designed to interoperate with high altitude intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (haisr) aircraft such as the u2 and global hawk unmanned aerialvehicle (uav). In addition, the antenna parameters allow for the tracking and downlink of data from low earth orbit (leo) satellites. The primary purpose of the twister is to provide a communications link between ground processing facilities and intelligence collecting platforms.
