GDT-2100 Ku-Band Ground Data Terminal Antenna System STANDARD FEATURES: 14.4 – 15.35 GHz Frequency Coverage Largest Reflector Aperture in Class – 4 Feet High Gain Performance Rugged and Lightweight – 15-Minute Setup Time Adjustable Tripod for Ground Slope Variation Uses Existing Shadow 200 GDT Hardware Transit Cases available for Transport Environmentally Qualified for Rugged Military Applications Tactical Common Data Link (Ku-Band) Data Relay Homeland Security/Border Surveillance Shadow 200, ER/MP, Watchkeeper, Firescout UAS TECOM has a diverse line of rugged, high accuracy Directional Narrowband Systems that provide high data-rate Tactical Common Datalink (TCDL) communications for fixed ground applications and On-The-Move applications such as those encountered on military aircraft, naval vessels, and mobile ground vehicles. Our standard product line includes antenna system products that are scaleable in frequency, and offers superior performance for mission requirements in the L, S, C, X, Ku and Ka frequency bands. TECOM’s Datalink product line delivers high data rate communications capability to current operational forces while providing a solid architectural baseline for the migration of these systems to supportfuture Homeland Security objectives and important military programs such as Future Combat Systems (FCS) and Warfighter Information Network – Tactical (WIN-T). TECOM’s Ground Data Terminal, TCDL antenna system operates from 14.4 – 15.35 GHz in Ku-Band. The antenna system includes fielded hardware used on the Shadow 200 program that is operationally proven and qualified for the TUAV program. The antenna system includes a 4-foot reflector, Ku-Band feed, antenna positioner with integrated servo and control systems electronics, and tripod assembly. Transit cases can also be supplied to protect these assemblies while in transit to the operations site. TECOM’s microprocessor-based Antenna Control Unit (ACU) is designed to provide cost-effective control of the antenna positioner assembly. The integrated controller can operate over an RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet or Fiber Optic interface. The Windows-based software provides a programmable, man-machine interface and allows for complete control of all antenna system functionality and operational modes that include Standby, Point, Step, Slew, Jog, Sector Scan and Program Track. The combination of small size, rapid deployment, high data-rate performance and dynamic capability directly benefit the tactical user community by providing a scaleable datalink communication asset able to fulfill future Wideband Line-of-Site, and Beyond-Line-Site secure communication at high data rates. 375 Conejo Ridge Avenue, Thousand Oaks, CA 91361-4928 Phone (805) 267-0100, Fax (805) 267-0181 www.tecom-ind.com
