DARWIN
DARWIN (Dynamic Airborne Radios for Wideband Interoperable Networks) is MaXentric's line-of-sight, long range, high speed, high data rate narrow beam data connection communication system. DARWIN uses a novel pointing-and-tracking algorithm that allows users to transmit large amounts of data while maintaining low-probability of interception (LPI) and low-probability of detection (LPD).
