Cubic Mission Solutions’ GATR Technologies
debuts two new products at SATELLITE 2017
Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB) today announced that its
subsidiary GATR Technologies, which operates within the Cubic
Mission Solutions (CMS) business division, will introduce the
GATR-FLEX®, an ultra-portable, foldable 0.75-meter satellite
communications (SATCOM) antenna, and the GATR 950™ modem, which is
based on iDirect Velocity™ technology. The GATR-FLEX and GATR 950
together make a highly efficient data transfer terminal designed to
maximize portability of sub-meter satellite communications
leveraging high throughput satellites (HTS). The GATR-FLEX terminal
provides high transmit power while achieving the lowest Size,
Weight and Power (SWaP) pack-out on the market.
“The GATR-FLEX and GATR 950 enables users to transfer large
amounts of data, such as multiple high-definition video streams, at
the same time as command and control (C2) traffic, data
exfiltration and voice,” said Roark McDonald, vice president and
general manager of Cubic | GATR Technologies. “The high-throughput
capability makes interoperability with Command, Control,
Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (C4ISR) applications possible with an ultra-light,
sub-meter SATCOM terminal.”
“The GATR-FLEX terminal is another addition to Cubic Mission
Solutions’ portable C4ISR product line that supports the warfighter
at the tactical edge,” said Mike Twyman, president of Cubic Mission
Solutions. “Cubic is pleased to be able to offer new and innovative
portable communications solutions that enable users to increase
capability and success of their mission, while keeping the pack-out
small and lightweight.”
About the GATR-FLEX
At the core of the GATR-FLEX antenna is a foldable, seamless,
parabolic reflector which enables efficient signal transfer. The
unique design of the dish helps maximize bandwidth with emerging
HTS and existing constellations, and its foldability enables the
small pack-out. The GATR-FLEX antenna weighs less than 20 pounds,
assembles in less than three minutes and is airline carry-on
compliant. The GATR-FLEX comes in a manual configuration or a
motorized azimuth and elevation control versions. Both terminals
can operate up to 2.5 hours in transmit mode (40 percent duty
cycle) on a single BB2590 battery (including the low-noise block
(LNB), block upconverter (BUC) and the GATR 950 modem).
About the GATR 950 Modem
The GATR 950 is a rugged, outdoor modem, based on iDirect
Velocity™ technology that optimizes the data transfer rate with
emerging HTS constellations. Additional features of the GATR 950
are: built-in digital signal strength meter, embedded spectrum
analyzer, web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and direct
current power injection unit.
