Airborne wideband SATCOM on-the-move (SOTM)
The ELSAT family of airborne satellite communications (SATCOM) solutions for voice, data and video transmission bring advanced capabilities and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) long-range connectivity to UAS, helicopters, mission aircraft and fighter jets, enabling reliable and secure high data rate broadband communication. The systems are available in a range of sizes and can support numerous users simultaneously.
Comprehensive operational connectivity: Featuring fast, enhanced acquisition and dynamic tracking performance, and an advanced modem, the SOTM terminals can work in challenging environmental conditions and maintain uninterrupted connectivity through the rotor blades while using military and commercial satellites in Ka and Ku bands.
High-performance BLOS communication systems for long-distance Ā missions
ELSAT airborne solutions provide resilient and uninterrupted broadband connectivity between UAS, helicopters, and aircraft to maneuvering forces and HQ, enabling tactical information sharing. The narrowband and wideband (up to 100Mbps) solutions support bidirectional real time communication for critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), high-definition video, command and control, flight data monitoring, audio, and text.
The airborne SATCOM systems automatically acquire and maintain communication links with military and commercial satellites using advanced antenna terminals supported by built-in IMU, tracking receiver, BUC, and modem (optional).
Mounted on a wide range of manned and unmanned airborne platforms, the ruggedized systems enable decision makers, commanders, and field units to maximize C4I effectiveness and situational awareness in real time and under demanding combat conditions.
