Rugged, low SWaP antenna combining capability and configurability in a single compact unit
The STINGER-LITE antenna is a mobile, configurable ground antenna with a low SWaP that combines four frequency bands (L, S, C, and Ku) into a ruggedized single unit. The STINGER-LITE’s mobility is complimented by its two-man, less than 10-minute setup time, which means the warfighter spends less time setting up and more time communicating. The high performing directional apertures supplement the system with exceptional gain in each frequency band for dependable medium-to-long-range applications. Frequencies are easily changed through an intuitive software interface. A change is activated within three seconds following the user’s command.
The STINGER-LITE can auto-RF track or position track with aircraft telemetry data.
The STINGER-LITE has receive and transmit capabilities combined with its GPS Inertial Navigation System. This allows the execution of rapid setup with integrated dual axis link acquisition and directional positioning over elevational/azimuth.
The STINGER-LITE features a rugged design capable of operating efficiently in austere tactical environments and comes in three configurable options:
- Receive (Rx) ground station
- Transmit/Receive (Tx/Rx) ground station
- On-the-move (OTM) antenna for vehicle mount operations
Critical components of the antenna include the controller, power supply, and internal LNAs. This product comes in a tactical kit including transit case(s), tripod, and applicable cable reels.
