The SiNAB Phoenix Pod uses cutting-edge technologies to deliver high-performance, long-range day-and-night surveillance and live air-to-ground communications for military and civil ISR applications without the need for aircraft modification. It’s designed and manufactured in Australia to meet strict military and civil standards and requirements.
By emulating the EO/IR sensor capabilities used by operational close air support (CAS), the Phoenix JTAC Training Solution (PJTS) enables low-cost training aircraft, such as the T-6B, PC-21, and L39NG to deliver effective training to JTAC students without aircraft modification.
Developed on the proven Phoenix Pod platform, the Phoenix Mini delivers ISR and communications capability in a compact, lightweight form — ideal for applications where space and payload are limited.
Compatible with aircraft such as the T-6B, Hawk, and other training or legacy platforms, it offers high-performance capability with a significantly reduced logistics footprint.
Non-permanent role equipment, requiring no integration with aircraft systems resulting in substantial time and cost savings. It’s easily fitted and removed from stores pylons with standard NATO 14” suspension lugs. Aircraft can be restored to normal configuration and roles by simply removing the Phoenix Pod after missions.
The Phoenix Pod includes power supply, global positioning systems (GPS) feed and avionics and datalink devices for seamless integration and enhanced functionality and performance
The Pod weighs 104kg/231lbs and can be easily carried by light aircraft and helicopters, offering versatility in deployment. This reduces the need for reliance on operational assets.
The Phoenix Pod is fitted to (and removed from) the host aircraft in minutes, using basic aircraft tools and support equipment.
Incorporates and integrates equipment normally included in aircraft with operational sensor suites, including communications, data, monitoring and common data link (CDL) capabilities.
Speaks to a range of secure and non-secure devices, including Rover, ATAK/APAS, Combat Net Radio, MANET, VMF and Link16, for live air-to-ground communication and smooth data sharing and coordination.
The Phoenix Pod is controlled from the cockpit/cabin with an 8” tablet. It can also be controlled from the Phoenix Ground Station for simulated training and ground support for increased versatility and adaptability.
