Overview
The antenna mast system is installed on an all-terrain trailer and towed by the BKS HV carrier vehicle. The mast extends electrically to a height of 12 m and carries an automatically tracking directional radio antenna. Connected via a fibre-optic link, it can be positioned up to 2 km away from the ground control station; the radio relay range is up to approximately 180 km, and data transmission is encrypted.

Role in the integrated system
The antenna mast system provides the range extension for the integrated system. It provides the radio relay link between the ground control station and the aircraft – while allowing the two to be spatially separated.

INFINTEQ software & control architecture
Unified. Secure. Interoperable.
Alignment and position calibration are performed automatically. The mast registers as part of the same system rather than as a separate device with its own controls.
Applications
Long-range radio relay
Automatically tracking directional radio antenna for the encrypted link to the aircraft.
Remote deployment
Up to 2 km from the ground control station – allowing for better antenna positioning and a reduced signature of the main station.
Rapid deployment
Set up on stabilisers, with the mast electrically extended and position calibration performed automatically.
