Series 2000 Controller

The Radeus Model 2200 and Model 2300 Antenna Control Systems are specifically designed for full-motion LEO and MEO antenna applications. With velocity control of smart motors, antenna speeds well beyond ten degrees per second are supported.

When coupled with the 2048 Drive Interface (Smart Motor Controller), the 2200 is well-suited to, and interfaces seamlessly with all popular tracking antenna systems with Moog Animatics SmartMotors.

The Antenna Control System provides a flexible approach for the higher speed, full motion antenna systems normally used in LEO/MEO applications. The 2200 with the SMC 2048, gives more of an OEM option with smart motors and a power source provided by the OEM or end customer. The 2300/2350 ACS offers a more traditional drive cabinet approach for use with DC or AC motors on full motion antenna systems.

Both models cover the bases: from cube-sats and small-sats to the existing infrastructure of GEOs. All Radeus Labs control systems are designed to be easy to install, easy to use, and with an extended lifespan of mechanical components.
