AL-1615-1


Typical Application

Airborne Satellite Tracking Antenna System for communication with the NASA ACTS Satellite.

The positioner supports a flat plate antenna, uniquely designed to require minimal radome volume. The control system tracks a geosynchronous satellite while subjected to the aircraft's dynamic movements.
