Satcom-on-the-move

Government organizations put high requirements on mobility and light communication solutions for voice, data and image. Geographically spread units with increased coverage areas that regroup and travel fast need a real time, agile communication solution that masters various terrains and allows maneuvering at any speed.

The SWE-DISH and SAAB Systems Satcom-On-The-Move (SOTM) demonstrator is designed to provide unsurpassed broadband on-the-move satellite communications capability, based on available COTS products. The demonstrator has a 90x66 cm antenna system (IPT Suitcase), mounted on a stabilized platform.

The SOTM demonstrator is the result of a successful integration of the SWE-DISH leading satellite terminal technology and SAAB’s leading stabilized platform technology.
