Hello All,
I work for a company developing a short range radar for a drone helicopter. We plan to do airborne testing of the radar by flying aircraft targets in the vicinity of the helicopter, then comparing GPS coordinates with radar measurements. To do that, we plan to datalink the helicopter GPS coordinates and flight data to the target aircraft to aid them in positioning the targets with respect to the helicopter. So, here is the question: What FCC service applies to mobile airborne datalinks? Note that the radar itself will be licensed in the experimental category for these tests, the question is for the datalinks only.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Hank
