Gilat debuts compact Ku-band satellite communications terminal for UAVs


Gilat Satellite Networks will soon debut its new compact Ku-band airborne satellite communications solution for the growing fleets of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) employed by the world's various militaries.

According to the Israeli satellite manufacturer, its UAV satcom solution tips the scale at 22 lbs. It can transmit 1Mbps of IP-based data. The compact terminal includes a rugged spread spectrum satellite modem, a two-way, flat panel tracking antenna, and a compact 40W Ku-band block up-converter (BUC) and power amplifier.

In a statement dated August 7, Gilat describes its "tightly integrated" Ku-band satellite communications terminal to be lightweight, compact, and low-power. These qualities made it ideal for airborne applications such as beyond-line-of-sight operations for some of the smaller UAV platforms in service.

In addition, Gilat's UAV  satellite communications solution can also be customized to suit its end-user's variable specifications and requirements, allowing a single platform to perform different missions as needed.
