Unmanned Mission Communications

In this activity, you will develop a response to the following:

For three unmanned systems that employ different operational domains in which the transmission medium differs (i.e., air, water, copper or fiber transmission lines), discuss the communication components employed for a specific unmanned system in each domain. Your response should include discussion of:

· Differences in the signal propagation losses through each medium.

· Components and technologies employed for the transmission and reception of signals along with key specifications.

· Time delays and timing constraints expected. Impact of the delay on operational strategies (if any).

· Differences in data transmission rates along with an explanation for the differences (if any).

Your response should be at least 5 pages long and supported with appropriate reference citations (e.g., scholarly, peer-reviewed, from reputable sources). Your submission should be written in APA format and include a title page and references section.
