GetSat Sling Blade C-17 SATCOM terminal
The Sling Blade C-17 represents a significant advancement in antenna technology for C-17 aircraft. This terminal, which belongs to the Electronically Steerable Antenna (ESA) family, is known for its reliability and low-profile design. It operates in Ka-band and eliminates the need for moving parts, reduces the necessity for recalibration, and lowers maintenance costs.
A key strength of the Sling Blade C-17 lies in its advanced capability to seamlessly connect with satellites positioned in GEO, and MEO orbits. This enables robust and reliable communication, vital for situations requiring consistent and high-quality satellite links.
As an integral component of the C-17 aircraft’s communication system, The Sling Blade C-17 provides a broad spectrum of communication functions. This includes transmitting live video, secure phone calls, video conferencing, and access to essential networks. These features are especially critical for military operations and VIP passengers who require consistent and dependable communication channels during flight.
Key Features:
Multi orbit constellations
A simple and intuitive solution that providesmulti-orbit SATCOM services, with the ability to blend and transfer network traffic seamlessly between high-capacity MEO, and GEO satellite constellations.
All-In-One Solution
Integrated terminals include everything needed for operation: modem, Antenna Control Unit (ACU), tracking sensors, downconverter, and a full RF front end.
Roll-on/ Roll-off
Designed for quick Roll On/Roll Off, the system allows easy installation and removal to enhance system mobility between different platforms and provides easy Roll On/Roll Off capabilities to create a competitive advantage.
Short transition time
Extremely short transition time. The significance of fiber-like connectivity is a major step forward for high-data-rate
applications requiring communications mobility.
No moving parts
Since there are no moving parts, calibrationis not required therefore providing long-term reliability and lower maintenance
costs.
