Low Profile Satellite Communications (SATCOM) on the Move Antenna (Navy/USMC)
Abstract
This project tests a low-profile dual-band (Ku/Ka) antenna with high tracking accuracy for vehicles to enable SATCOM on the move in rough terrain. This reduces the potential of adversaries targeting high value command and control vehicles while increasing operational utility. This project enhances DoD capabilities in the Fully Networked Command, Control, and Communications (FNC3) focus area. If successful, the technology will transition to Marine Corps Networks on the Move program of record. Program Manager received test articles and acceptance testing initiated in FY 2019. Ku-band antenna certification testing completed in 4Q FY 2020. Ka-band antenna certification testing will occur in 1Q FY 2021. The Program Manager will make a transition decision and a close out report will be completed in 3Q FY 2021 with FY 2020 funds.
