Compact folded optics design allows antenna, feeds, receiver and servo system to be packaged for aircraft, pod, or UAV installation.
Active or passive operation as a mono-pulse radar tracker or scanner.
Available in I, J, K and W bands (7 GHz – 110 GHz, antenna specific) with vertical, horizontal, or circular polarizations.
Broadband antenna allows beacon tracking while simultaneously transmitting in the same band.
Light composite twist reflector allows scan rates up to 180 degrees/second.
Remote or local control of multiple preprogrammed scan patterns of arbitrary nature and re-programmable on the fly via dumb terminal (RS232 interface).
Near hemispherical scan envelope.
Simple, lightweight push rod twist plate drive allows smooth scan control over the full range of scan rates and patterns.
Fifth generation I and J band production units have undergone environmental and flight tests to ensure compliance with Navy requirements.
Embedded micro-controller, custom control software, brushless motors with optical encoder feedback.
