Safran Data Systems has been awarded a contract for the supply of two 7.3M Tracking Telemetry Antennas to be installed at Eglin Air Force Base from the second quarter of 2023, Safran writes in a press release.
Since 2017, Safran Data Systems has delivered more than 40 antennas to the US Department of Defense and aerospace industry customers.
According to the company, these SPARTE 700 antennas are equipped with a high accuracy pedestal supporting a carbon fiber reflector and a tri-band (L/S/C) feed with Single Channel Monopulse (SCM) RF auto-tracking technology. The feed provides test ranges the flexibility to support multiple platform flight tests.
The Antenna Controller Unit (ACU) supports up to eight Dual channel receivers. Its control interface simplifies operations by providing a global view of the station’s equipment.
