(VPN)
A.
General
(1) A common use of Satcom is to allow equipment based on the ground to interrogate equipment
on the UAV, for example to pull position data from the fligh
t c
ontroller
. One
way of achieving
this is to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from the UAV to the ground
equipment. Some
advantages of this approach are:
– When set up correctly, the VPN can appear as a transparent ‘wire’ allowing seamless
connections between the ground and air.
– If the VPN client is setup on the air side, the Satcom terminal does not need a static IP
address, Dynamic DNS or similar.
– The VPN provides end-to-end encryption under your control.
– The air side router can be configure
d t
o automatically establish the Satcom connection
on power up.
– Depending on the choice of router, it can remove the need for a separate Ethernet switch.
