& L-TAC Service
Introduction The Challenge Military users need to command widely dispersed forces in austere environments without the delay of deploying terrestrial infrastructures. UHF TACSAT channels are in short-supply and expensive. The Requirement To increase the number of TACSAT channels for voice and data over tactical, theatre and strategic distances using existing tactical radios with their in-built encryption. The Solution SlingShot™ - Spectra’s small, lightweight external appliqué for military radios, allows low-latency voice and data regional communications with the additional option of connecting to an out-of-theatre rear based command node. AND L-TAC - Inmarsat’s communications network provides L-band to L-band Beyond Line of Sight communications from a global constellation of geostationary satellites.
Solution Overview • SlingShot™ • Variants: • Manpack • Vehicle • Marine • Aviation • UHF • VHF • Antennas • Manpack (Omni) • Vehicle (Omni) (Land / Marine) • Directional (Regional Beam) • Input Frequency – Fixed offset automatic by translator • Tested Radios to date • Harris - PRC 117F (Wideband Voice/ANDVT, HPW and ViaSat Data) • Harris - PRC 117G (Wideband Voice) • Harris - PRC 152 (Wideband Voice) • Harris - RF5800M-HH (Wideband Voice, IP Voice) • Thales - PRC 148 • Supported by 24/7 NOC • Inmarsat Type Approved • L-TAC • Supplement UHF TACSAT channels with L-band TACSAT Channels (Inmarsat I-4 Satellites) • Narrow Beams, Regional Beams, Generated Beams • Lease airtime for a minimum of 1 month • Based on 25kHz channel (1 x Wideband or 5 x ANDVT nets) • Data – Throughput depending on channel and radio • C-band antenna in user HQ (out of area) can be connected to the Radio Net
