SWE-DISH launches DA150K Mil Inset

SWE-DISH Satellite Systems - a world leading supplier of mobile satellite communication equipment - launches a new pod-less vehicle mount military satellite terminal: the SWE-DISH DA150K Mil Inset

The DA150K Mil Inset is the latest in the DA150-series of rugged vehicle mount antenna systems from SWE-DISH. The DA150K Mil Inset is intended for mounting in a well on the vehicle (or shelter) rooftop, protected by a roller blind during travel. Therefore the footprint has been minimized and there is no pod. The DA150K Mil Inset is also ideally suitable for trailer mounting. The accessible welded steel subframe integrates easily. The new Inset Drive-Away attracts primarily government and defense organizations seeking high performance, reliable and flexible satellite antenna systems with low profile for various applications. The antenna is as always for DA150-series, the high performing elliptical 1.5m Gregorian offset antenna that gives up to 80% efficiency gain when transmitting. The carbon composite construction together with a heavy duty antenna mount, provide unsurpassed stability in high wind conditions. Standard RF configuration is a 40W Ku band high power transceiver. The VSAT Controller allows selection of one or two modems (dual carrier operation). High frequency accuracy and stability of all devices are assured by locking to a 10 MHz reference. Switchable cross-pol as well as co-pol receive mode are standard features. Lars Jehrlander, CEO at SWE-DISH Satellite Systems, says “We have developed the DA150K Mil Inset in close cooperation with our defense and government community, to meet their need for non-conspicuous integrated satellite communication system with low profile. We believe there is a strong future need of this type of system”. The antenna control unit with navigational sensor (GPS/Compass) supports automatic satellite acquisition. Optional to the standard DA150K Mil Inset is de-icing of the antenna reflectors, feed system and the platform floor. De-icing operation is automatic (controlled by a snow sensor) or manual. The SWE-DISH Drive-Away satellite terminal family has grown and now consists of:  DA150K Drive-Away: the well established totally encapsulated system  DA150K Mil Drive-Away: military drive-away with optional X-band upgrade  DA150K Mil Inset: military Drive-Away without pod  DA150K Compact: a shorter vehicle antenna where the fairing has been removed to enable installation on smaller vehicles  DA90K Drive-Away: a small vehicle mounted antenna - End -
