L-3 Communication Systems-West's 4.0 meter multi-band transportable antenna is designed for worldwide operation in military tactical environments. Host vehicle interface kits include a HMMWV tow package with an electronics interface to host vehicle IF/RF and prime power systems. The configuration of the terminal (depending on the unique program requirements) can be single-band or multi-band, single carrier or multi-carrier, with manual or automatic redundancy. Our 4.0 meter terminals meet ARSTRAT, DISA and INTELSAT certifications. The antenna includes six common interchangeable reflector panels and feed structures for C-band (dual linear and circular polarization), X-band (CP), Ku-band (linear) and Ka-band (CP). Feed changeover time is less than 15 minutes by two operators with no special tools. The antenna provides high on-axis gain, optimal receive G/T and INTELSAT/DISA-compliant side-lobe levels. The antenna supports manual and automatic satellite acquisition/tracking. Elevation travel is 0° to 90°. Azimuth travel is ±90°. The antenna is trailer-mounted with stabilization jacks and an earth anchor/tie-down kit to maintain antenna pointing under operational winds. Three crew members with no special tools set up the antenna in less than 60 minutes. All antenna components, including feeds, reflector panels and redundant Tri-band and Ka-band HPAs, are stowed on the trailer in the transport configuration. Operational electronics reside onboard the trailer or can be incorporated in a host terminal. The trailer suspension system is designed for stable mobility over improved and unimproved roads. Transportation by ship, rail, fixed-wing aircraft (C-130, C-17 & C-141), or rotary-wing aircraft (CH-47 or CH-53) are also supported.
