Integral Systems' Raptor X-band Ultra Small Aperture Terminal Receives Wideband Global SATCOM Certification
February 07 2011 - 8:35AM
Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today that its
Raptor X-band Ultra Small Aperture Terminal (USAT) deployable
communications system has been certified for use on the Wideband
Global SATCOM (WGS) system by the U.S. Army Space and Missile
Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT).
According to Air Force Space Command, WGS is a joint service
satellite communications system providing flexible, high-capacity
communications for our nation's warfighters.
Raptor X, offered through Integral Systems' SATCOM Solutions
division, is a highly advanced, interoperable deployable
communications system. It comes in an airline carry-on size case,
weighs less than 33 pounds, has been tested to MIL-STD-810F
specifications for ruggedization and runs for approximately three
hours on two BB2590 batteries. Moving from its backpack
configuration to being on the air requires less than 10 minutes.
Using the Raptor X on the WGS system gives warfighters the ability
to securely and reliably send and receive voice and data intensive
communications in X-band. As our warfighter's demand for broadband
continues growing, the Department of Defense (DoD) will
increasingly rely on X-band communications due to congestion on the
Ku-band and its ability to more easily facilitate communications
over USATs.
"To ensure mission success, warfighters must be able to
communicate over the most advanced SATCOM networks available," said
Mike Blefko, Director of Programs and Products for Integral
Systems' SATCOM Solutions division. "The certification of Raptor X
on the WGS system provides our armed forces with a lightweight, yet
extremely powerful SATCOM system that can be used in multiple radio
frequencies, including X-band."
Raptor X includes a streamlined terminal interface allowing
users to select a desired satellite from an easy-to-navigate,
on-screen menu assisting dish alignment. The package also includes
a Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows remote
monitoring from any standard Web browser. The terminal features a
smart power system accepting input from 90 to 264 VAC, 10 to 32 VDC
and BB-5590 or BB2590 batteries.
Last year, Integral Systems acquired CVG Inc. and Avtec Systems,
Inc., now operating as Integral Systems' SATCOM Solutions division.
