Orbit Communications Systems announced on Monday that it intends to expand the development of its new Multi-Purpose Terminal (MPT) for airborne SatCom to include helicopters. The company received an order for approximately US$3 million from a global provider of defense products and services for the delivery of helicopter systems to a leading air force between 2018 and 2022.
Orbit's 30-cm Multi-Purpose Terminal (MPT30) delivers Internet-based data communications via satellite to helicopters. Built to military standard (MIL-STD), the MPT30 features minimal Size, Weight and Power consumption (SWaP). According to the company, the ultra-compact terminal has been ruggedized to overcome the many challenges posed by helicopter installations, including constant vibration and the need for a self-cooling mechanism when placed behind the exhaust systems.
"Our decision to extend the development of our Multi-Purpose Terminals to helicopters was prompted by market demand," explained Eitan Livneh, CEO of Orbit. "Time to market is a key factor and our ability to tailor our technology to customer needs is proving to be a very attractive and marketable commodity."
