Invest in the ability to utilise long-range day-and-night surveillance and live air-to-ground communications. Designed and manufactured by SiNAB, the Phoenix POD uses the best and latest technologies, ensuring high-performance capabilities.
Suitable for both military and civilian applications, including carrying out JTAC Training or search and rescue operations, the Phoenix POD can be easily connected to your existing aircraft with 14″ NATO pylons, meaning zero modifications are required.
EO/IR sensor, laser, mission computer and air-to-ground communication.
The Phoenix Pod is the most effective solution for providing JTAC training with Digitally Aided Close Air Support (DACAS). Compared to other sensor solutions such as the MX-10 or MX-15, the Phoenix Pod offers an advantage in that it is an off-the-shelf integrated sensor and communications module that can be readily deployed without requiring modifications to the aircraft. The Phoenix Pods tactical communications, such as Link 16 and video downlink through its CMDL2, perfectly emulate mission systems to ensure the student is combat ready and allows a seamless transition to operational systems.
