Shipboard Antennas

Our auto-stabilizing shipboard antennas have supported space shuttle launches, secure military communications and the "big game on the lake".  Our tactical communication antennas remain “locked on” to the targeted satellite while enduring Sea-State 5 conditions while our consumer entertainment antennas will deliver years of enjoyment.

Navy EHF SATCOM Program (NESP)
The Datron Navy EHF SATCOM Program (NESP) antenna system is currently deployed on every major surface vessel in the U.S. fleet.  Using a proven stabilization system, the NESP antenna is used in conjunction with the AN/USC-38 satellite communication system for secure MILSTAR communications.  First produced in 1990 Datron has delivered over 450 shipsets.
WSC Satellite Communications Group
OE-82(C)/WSC Satellite Communications Group.  This was designed to support the U.S. Navy AN/WSC-UHF or other UHF radio sets operating between 240 and 318 MHz.  The system will operate at continuous wave power up to 400 watts, with a peak envelop power of 800 watts.  Over the life of the program, Datron has delivered over 500 shipsets.
Redstone
Designed and built to support the telemetry needs of early Space Shuttle flights, Datron supplied three, 9-meter systems for the U.S.S. Redstone, a floating telemetry station.   Featuring a robust and highly accurate elevation over azimuth positioner, these systems provided many years of service.  After the decommissioning of the U.S.S. Redstone, the antennas are currently scheduled for installation at shore based ground stations.
CHBDL (Common High Bandwidth Data Link)
Designed and built over forty (40) X- and Ku-Band transmit and receive data link shipboard stabilized tracking antenna systems.
