Tel Aviv: Israeli company Orbit Communication Systems has unveiled its Multi-Purpose Terminal MPT30Ka SOTM (SATCOM On-The-Move), its most compact satellite communication system available for military vehicles, maritime vessels and rapid deployment.
Nowadays, military mobile platforms are increasingly equipped with a wide range of payloads, including radars, weapon systems and advancement sensors. This creates a significant demand for compact SATCOM solutions that minimise their footprint without compromising on performance.
The MPT30Ka SOTM addresses this operational requirement by delivering a low power consumption system and compact design, yet maintains uninterrupted, high-capacity connectivity. The system meets multiple military standrds such as MIL-STD-461G/810G/1275 making it fully resilient to electromagnetic interference. Thus, it ensures continuous, and secure communication even when radars and electronic systems are simultaneously active, and maintains reliable operation in harsh and demanding terrain conditions, guaranteeing mission success anytime and anywhere.
According to the company, the MPT30Ka SOTM offers unmatched operational flexibility. Thanks to its compact and light design, it enables a rapid ground deployment, and is simple to operate without complex field assembly. This maximises ground forces efficiency and contributes mission success by providing immediate, secure communication, with full connectivity both on the move and during stationary missions. Proven operationally on mobile platforms in multi-orbit GEO/MEO/HEO/LEO satellite constelletions as well as at multi-polarisations, the MPT30Ka SOTM delivers the resilience and flexibility essential for modern tactical operations even at a GPS denied environment and other field interferences.
Daniel Eshchar, CEO of Orbit Communication Systems, said that the MPT30Ka represents a breakthrough in tactical SATCOM. It delivers exceptionally high performance, giving forces in the field the compactness, flexibility, and reliability they need to succeed in today’s demanding missions.
”Orbit’s SATCOM systems for land vehicles have already been battle-proven by armies worldwide, and the MPT30Ka builds on this legacy with unmatched capability in the most compact form,” Eshchar added.
