Abstract: A data link for an automatic aircraft carrier landing system is described which an aircraft is guided to the carrier by pitch and bank information from the carrier so as to indicate to the pilot of the aircraft whether he is within a prescribed flight path for landing or whether he should be waved off for another approach. The information transmitted from the carrier is received by a microelectronic data link receiver having an internal clock which is synchronized with the incoming information to determine if that particular aircraft is being addressed and if so, what the nature of this information is so that it may be stored and presented to the pilot at a later time for appropriate action.

Abstract: A command data link between an aircraft and a missile having a high invulability to jamming by providing a communications system in which the missile receiver is normally off and is gated on only during a short time during which a signal is supposed to appear, as determined by the missile synchronizer. Coded information is transmitted to the missile by the absence of pulses in a pulse train so that spurious pulses received by the missile cannot result in undesirable missile commands.
