"The modern battlefield requires very reliable capabilities of high rate data transfer anytime, anywhere, and our SOTM communication solution meets this requirement."

The ELSAT-2100 is an advanced and highly ruggedised tri-band military SOTM antenna that delivers high performance in Ka, Ku and X bands.

This system has the ability to offer continuously connected voice, video and data communications while the platform is in motion.

The interchangeable radio frequency panel sub-assemblies within the antenna facilitate conversion between X, Ka and Ku bands in the battlefield.

The 80cm-diameter antenna is fully optimised for operational efficiency in military applications, according to Elbit.

It can also maintain accurate satellite pointing, acquisition and re-acquisition, by using advanced quad tracking mechanisms with control of the azimuth, elevation and polarisation angles.
