Jun 19, 2011
ELTA Systems Ltd., an Israel Aerospace Industries' group and subsidiary, presents the MAPSAT (ELK 1895), a tactical Man Portable Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Terminal.
The system, weighting only 8.5 kg,. is carried by a single soldier operating in special missions. The terminal can be rapidly deployed and connected to predefined available commercial Ku-Band communication satellites.
The operational, field- proven ELK-1895 is communicates voice and high data rate within a network including many subscribers such as Special Forces fighters and their commanding post. All subscribers, within the communication satellite footprint, communicate, via a communication link, without revealing their geo-location.
The need for tactical SATCOM for Ground Forces is growing due to net-centric operations that require long range, OTH (Over-The-Horizon), all- weather communication between fighting forces and their Head Quarters.
IAI/ELTA is one of the leading companies producing "SATCOM on-the-move" systems installed on various platforms such as fighter aircraft, helicopters, ships, patrol boats, armored combat and surveillance vehicles.
