VPIDM
VPIDM

The VPIDM combines the basic concept and capability of the PRISM card and the upgrades include an improved pilot vehicle interface and a compact flash card for image upload and archive. VPIDM is designed for all applications with space limitations onboard the platform but with available areas within other LRUs.

Interoperability Will communicate with almost anything
Video Interface Composite, NTSC, RS-170A, RGB, PAL, SECAM, F16 targeting pod
Radio Interface
  • Two primary channels on board with 2 expansion channels, each channel can be configured for Analog(FSK, ASK) or digital (NRZ, ASK, Synchronous or Asynchronous) interface.
