CPI GDA-36CB Ground Datalink Antenna

The tactical Ground Datalink Antenna (GDA) was designed for quick deployment in harsh environments, and can be deployed in less than 5 minutes with no hand tools required. A standard 36 inch lightweight composite parabolic reflector provides high antenna gain. The system Antenna Control Unit (ACU), Servo Amplifiers and Power Supplies are self-contained in the pedestal base. Operator interfaces for command and control are provided through an Ethernet UDP/IP port and a serial control interface is optional. The GDA-36CB features mounting provisions for Radio Frequency Equipment (RFE) and modem directly behind the reflector. This provides optimum RF performance and eliminates the need for rotary joints. Extra channels on the slip ring provide command and control pathways. The optional Tilt Compass Module (TCM) allows the antenna to automatically compensate for sloping terrain with up to 5° slope in any direction and also find magnetic north for the install location.
