Product Description
The
INFLTRATOR is designed for mobile tracking and messaging applications
on fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. The fuselage-mounted
antenna is connected to the interior-mounted electronics to provide
communications commonality with other users. The result
is situational awareness among all users providing more effective
operations and avoidance of “friendly fire” incidents.
Product Overview
The Comtech INFLTRATOR is designed for mobile tracking and messaging
applications on fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. The fuselage-mounted
antenna is connected to the interior-mounted electronics to provide
communi-cations commonality with other users. The result is situational
awareness among all users providing more effective operations
and avoidance of “friendly fire” incidents.
Key Application Helicopters
flying in Combat Operations have a critical need for locating
friendly and hostile forces on their aircraft monitors and in
their command and control centers. The transceiver enables the
display of these positions for U.S. and coalition air and ground
forces in Combat Operations through its integration in the U.S.
Army’s Blue Force Tracking (BFT) system. Missions can be
planned knowing exactly where the forces are. Messages can be
sent to individual assets in near real-time. The link to ground
forces and other aircraft enables faster clearance of fires and
the ability to get on target quicker. The Army credits the BFT
system with saving many lives and significantly reducing the “fog
of war”.
The
aviation transceiver is one of a number of common satellite transceivers
produced by Comtech and used for vehicles, personnel, aviation
and marine applications. All operate on a common satellite network
and are securely accessible to other mobile users and commanders
on the ground.
Sizes begin at 8” x 8” x 5” for a vehicle transceiver
with an integrated antenna/ GPS and go down to a 2” x 4”
x 0.6” transceiver module for integration in handheld applications.
They all offer the same interoperability and functionality powered
by CMDC’s satellite and ground network services around the
world, 24/7.
