CPI SAT Model 17-13A Ku-Band Airborne SOTM Antenna
17-13A Airborne SOTM Antenna
The advanced CPI SAT (formerly GD Satcom Technologies & Prodelin) Model 17-13A Airborne SOTM antenna delivers critical communications and outstanding performance in harsh conditions. All CPI Satcom-on-the-Move products share a legacy of proven, reliable performance on aircraft, ships, fast boats and a variety of military wheeled and tracked vehicles, including HMMWV, Bradley and Stryker. The Model 17-13A terminals share a common technology base, common components and a common user interface with the other products in the family (Models 17, 20, and 24). Key to the performance of any comms on the move product is the availability to maintain the link during dynamic platform motion. The model 13A provides world-class “on satellite” pointing and tracking accuracy via combination of integral tracking receiver, gyro stabilization and inertial measurement unit.
The series 17 airborne series provides high data rate, reliable X, Ku or Ka Mil and Ka Commercial band satellite communications while on-the-move over a wide range of operational conditions and can be ordered with an external Inertial Measurement Unit. The modular design of the terminal allows it to be customized to meet specific customer requirements.
