L3 Cheetah 90CM Airline Checkable VSAT Terminal

Key Features

Latest-generation embedded iDirect iConnex™ e800 Evolution modem and 40 W wideband BUC/SSPA.

Rugged design for outdoor use in harsh
environmental conditions

Field connectivity over CAT-5 cable eliminates heavy IFL cables

One button auto-acquisition solution based on proven motorized Roto-Lok cable drive for reliable positioning and algorithms with the latest iDirect SNR tuning

Includes automatic polarization adjustment that rotates the reflector to align the major axis with the orbital arc for optimum field performance

Internal power conditioning in accordance with MIL-STD-1275B allowing the Cheetah to be powered from military vehicles

ViewSAT Terminal Monitor and Control software simplifies deployment and operation

Modem bypass capability allows inter-operation with standard L-Band modems

Cheetah Battery Box

L3 Cheetah VSAT System Battery Box Power Supply

Also available with an embedded ViaSat Linkway S2 modem

The industry renowned Cheetah is a completely auto-acquiring flyaway VSAT system that provides high-speed data communications for Internet, VPN connectivity, video transmission, surveillance, or reconnaissance. The Cheetah is comprised of only two airline checkable* cases! The Cheetah system comes standard in two Hardigg Storm™ wheeled hard cases. Each case weighs less than 75 lb. and includes a fully auto-acquire .9M elliptical antenna system, outdoor unit with embedded iDirect iConnex modem, 40 W BUC/SSPA, controller/processor and Ethernet switch. The GCS ViewSAT terminal control software provides monitor and control of the terminal through the use of an Intuitive Graphical User Interface
(GUI).

Environmental Conditions Capabilities

GCS has completed rigorous MIL-STD-810F testing of the Cheetah terminal at Dayton T. Brown, a certified facility on Long Island, NY.
All tests were passed and the testing included the following:

Temperature – Hot, Method 501.4 Procedure II - Operation, Table 501.4-II Hot

Temperature – Cold, Method 502.4 Procedure II Operation Basic Cold (C1)

Humidity - Method 507.4

Vibration - Method 514.5 Procedure I, Table 514.5-I Category 4 Restrained Cargo, Truck Transport US Highways (Annex A Para 2.2.1 C1), Two Wheeled Trailer and Wheeled Vehicles (Annex A Para 2.2.1 C2)

Shock - Method 516.5 Procedure II Material to be Packaged

Sand and Dust - Method 510.4, Procedure I and II

Salt Fog - Method 509.4

GCS ViewSAT GUI

L3 GCS ViewSAT GUI Monitor and Control Software

ViewSAT is specifically designed to monitor and control the Hawkeye and Cheetah series of VSAT terminals. The monitor and control is provided for the embedded iDirect modem, Antenna controller and some select BUC/SSPAs. Utilize one common GUI for all L3 across all platforms for easy operability.

System Benefits

Provides VSAT connectivity for voice, data and video broadcast

Elliptical reflector automatically rotated to align with satellite orbital arc for optimum performance

One button auto-acquisition with ViewSAT terminal software provides rapid system deployment, control and monitoring with minimal training

High-speed access from remote sites provides timely information to decision makers
