piece fiber glass
reinforced component
with latches for quick
assembly.
The ASC Signal 2.4 m tactical
troposcatter is the newest product under
development by ASC Signal’s
MilSatCom division. The entire
assembly consists of a motorized mount,
reflector, C or Ku feed, and a controller.
The reflector consists of 10 identical and
interchangeable petal segments and one
center hub. These eleven carbon fiber
components, are assembled without the
aid of tools using latches that are embedded into the structure. The reflector has
a total weight of 36.2 kg (80 lb). An
optional imbedded electrical heater is
also available with this system for deicing
purposes.
Electronically engineered operate in both
the C and Ku-band frequencies, Andrew’s
2.4 meter tactical troposcatter is capable
of transmitting and receiving signals in
winds up to 80 mph. With a light weight
collapsible mount, the entire configuration
can be deployed by two trained
individuals within 30 minutes.
Engineered into the support structure is an
azimuth/elevation mount frame
constructed of light weight aluminum
tubing.
Weighing 79.4 kg (175 lb), the Az/El
mount offers ease of assembly via 4 quick
release pins. The leg assemblies have a
total weight of only 300 lb (136 kg) and
are assembled with quick release shaft
collars.
