The UAS-C attaches to the ground stations of UAS systems and provides Situational Awareness, UAS Tracking, Voice Communications, and See & Avoid for UAS pilots. 

The UAS-C provides tracking of all UAS aircraft regardless of size or altitude. The UAS-C has addressed the major surveillance challenges flying BVLOS and/or in controlled airspace creating a ubiquitous surveillance picture for critical operations in controlled airspace.

UAV Tracking: Tracking of UAV‘s does not rely on Radar or ADS-B. By connecting to the UAS Ground Control System (GCS), Sunhillo’s UAS-Connector (UAS-C) converts the positional data that is already being sent from the UAS to the GCS into a radar or ADS-B message using Sunhillo’s proprietary software with no equipment required on the aircraft. This message can then be sent to ATC or a local command center and displayed with other radar and ADS-B targets for situational awareness. The UAS-C can be used remotely via LTE or directly connected via Ethernet.

Situational Awareness: Both manned and unmanned aircraft pilots have a complete visual situational awareness picture. The UAS-C provides the pilot with a See and Avoid display showing all aircraft (via Radar and ADS-B) in the immediate area as well as sending the location of the UAV to ATC or a local command center. 

Voice Communications: The UAS-C provides ground-to-ground voice communications between UAS Operators and a local command center or ATC.

Sunhillo’s Margate II ADS-B Receiver integrates technology from the Longport ADS-B Receiver and packages it into the Margate II’s robust, small form factor, and versatile design. The Margate II ADS-B Receiver accepts and decodes 978MHz UAT and 1090MHz ADS-B. Sunhillo’s ADS-B Receiver accepts the transmission directly into the module from a front panel female TNC connector for the RF antenna feed. Additionally, the unit features a fully integrated GPS receiver with a front panel SMA Connector for the GPS input.

Outputs include multiple formats including ASTERIX (Cat 21 or 33) over Ethernet. The Margate II is a stand alone compact unit capable of fitting in our new slim 1U rack mountable chassis. The new chassis is designed to fit single or dual ADS-B Receivers or a combination of a RICI 5000 and a Margate II ADS-B Receiver. Multiple protocol conversions can be performed when paired with the RICI 5000 in a single 1U chassis including TPS75 to SGF-IP.

The 2U Radar & ADS-B Monitoring System (RAMS) Tactical Kit combines Sunhillo’s proven and deployed Margate II ADS-B Receiver and Antenna with the RICI 5000 and Surveillance Monitoring System (SMS) and packages the system into a portable tactical kit.

The RAMS tactical kit provides Situational Awareness and real time tracking of all aircraft (Fixed-wing, Helicopters, UAS) displayed on a high powered Laptop with the ability to utilize Primary and Secondary Radar feeds coupled with ADS-B.

The 2U RAMS kit includes: Margate II ADS-B Receiver RICI 5000 Surveillance data distribution and conversion platform 2U Locking Tactical Case with wheels and telescoping handle, small enough to be used as carry-on luggage Powerful Laptop running the Surveillance Monitoring System (SMS) software ADS-B Antenna 50′ Cable (other length options available)

Sunhillo’s Surveillance Monitoring System (SMS) is a powerful total package solution designed for displaying surveillance data.  
- Monitor Radar & ADS-B on one display  
- Geographic filtering

Sunhillo’s Real-Time Interface & Conversion Item (RICI) 5000 is a versatile and modular platform designed for surveillance sensor data formatting, filtering, and protocol conversions.
​   The RICI 5000 is packaged in a compact, rugged format featuring dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 serial ports, and an internal power supply.  The optional rack mountable sleeve utilizes 1U of rack space for single or dual RICI’s mounted in a single chassis.  The RICI 5000 is an ideal solution for networks requiring low-density, high-speed system interfacing to multiple serial ports with the ability to upscale to future network demands.  The RICI 5000 is a compact FPGA-based signal processing platform that enables synchronous, asynchronous, Bi-sync and HDLC serial / LAN inter-connectivity.
