The prototype system, proposed as a next-generation SATCOM solution for the U.S. Army, provides military X- and Ka-band, and commercial C- and Ku-band capabilities for satellite-based, voice, video, and data communications.

Fort Lauderdale - Mar 05, 2003
Attendees at the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Winter Symposium and Exhibition are being given a glimpse into the future of military communications, courtesy of Harris Corporation.

The company demonstrated its HUMVEE-mounted, Quad-Band, multi-channel SATCOM terminal solution at the AUSA exhibition, held February 26-28, 2003, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

"We are extremely pleased to be able to demonstrate this next-generation, mobile military satellite communications system," said Bob Henry, president, Harris Government Communications Systems Division (GCSD).

"The theme of this AUSA symposium is 'Accelerating Change Through a Culture of Innovation and Collaboration,' and we believe that this new satellite terminal system solution from Harris encompasses both of these ideals.

"It offers a leading-edge technology solution that is the result of Harris' 40 years of experience working with the DoD in developing SATCOM terminals."

The terminal also offers significantly greater reliability, as well as several times the communications capacity and throughput of older generation terminals, providing military commanders with highly mobile, HMMWV-mounted communications connectivity within the battlefield and reach-back to headquarters operations.

This new generation of Quad-Band satellite communications terminal offers full redundancy, the ability to keep up with the pace of operations with minimum set-up and tear-down times, and the means to meet challenges posed by the harshest of environmental conditions.

The terminal, built with the warfighter in mind, was specifically designed to reduce maintenance time and costs, and significantly reduce life-cycle costs.

Harris GCSD is a key supplier of tactical and strategic satellite communications terminals for all branches of the military. Its solutions cover the range of SATCOM mediums with fixed, mobile and afloat terminals that offer a wide array of capabilities to support all military and government requirements.
