2.4m Nomadic Rapid Deployment Earth Station Antenna

2.4 Meter Nomadic
The ASC Signal 2.4 m Nomadic is a highly flexible antenna system designed
to operate on almost any satcom band and in many configurations. The
entire reflector structure consists of lightweight carbon fiber panels, with
multiple mounting scenarios, and can be ordered in motorized or nonmotorized versions. With feeds available to address L-, C-, X-, Ku-, K-, Ka-,
and Q-bands, as well as low PIM capable feeds, few applications are beyond
its capabilities.
This antenna supports a variety of interchangeable feeds which are
engineered for simple removal and replacement in the field. The reflector
is constructed with a precision-formed honeycomb core and a carbon fiber
skin which assures durability and high performance. The reflector is readily
available in one-, three-, and nine-piece versions - all sharing common RF
design components and performance capabilities.
The Nomadic is designed to be lightweight, with maximum stiffness, yet
offers compact and highly robust components. The versatile architecture
makes it ideal for launching highly divergent equipment applications using
a single, flexible, modular and cost-effective equipment base.
The reflector is available in one-, three-, and nine-piece carbon
fiber modular panels with latches for quick assembly
Electronically engineered to operate at multiple frequencies, ASC Signal’s
2.4 meter Nomadic is capable of transmitting and receiving signals under
demanding wind loads and surviving winds up to 100 mph. Weighing
less than 220 kg (480 lb), in fully motorized versions (including feeds),
the tactical version can be deployed by two trained individuals within 30
minutes.

2.4 Meter Nomadic
The 2.4M Nomadic is designed around a base configuration to provide
modular flexibility and configurability. In addition, it is designed to be
rugged and to allow for maximum compactability to withstand the demands
and rigors of transport in military and commercial aircraft. The feeds are also
palletized to allow for easy transport and for band changes in minutes.
