The upgrade will expand the sniper pod’s current video data link capabilities to enable digital transmission of high-definition imagery and metadata between aircrews and ground troops at extended ranges.

The CMDL upgrade will increase long-range battlefield situational awareness and positive target coordination and confirmation.

The upgraded CMDL will communicate seamlessly with the fielded Rover family of ground stations, including Rover 5, a portable handheld transceiver.
