MTS RADOME

TSC’s Mobile Tracking System Radome (MTS Radome) is a simple to use, turn-key solution that provides automatic tracking of nodes in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). MTS Radome is designed for permanent installation in harsh environments. This system is optimized to extend the range of air-to-ground links passing high definition video and any other IP based data. Ideal scenarios include UAVs, manned aircraft, vehicular and maritime applications.

With a compact form factor requiring little setup from an operator, the Mobile Tracking System simplifies an air-to-ground tactical IP network, even when both airborne and ground based nodes are in motion.

  • Lightweight, small form factor

  • Automatic heading calculation
  • Radio agnostic, modular design
  • Integrated Inertial Navigation System (INS)
  • Built in gimbal stabilization
  • Cursor on Target (CoT) compatible
  • Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
  • Compatible with Single Input, Single Output (SISO) and Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) networks
  • Integration assistance & support available

MTS RADOME KEY FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES

  • Minimal Physical Setup Required. MTS Radome paired with a radio package, is one complete unit that only requires power and a target node to track. Heading and location information of both MTS Radome and target node are automatically calculated and updated continuously. An integrated Inertial Navigation System provides heading information (Error < 0.8°) and computations for continuous tracking.
  • Tracking System On-The-Move. MTS Radome does not need to be static like most tracking systems. With the INS and Gimbal Stabilization, MTS Radome has the capability to be used in maritime and vehicular environments without RF degradation or attenuation during pitch and rolls.
  • Radio Agnostic, Modular Design. Compatible with all major MANET radios currently on the market, MTS Radome integrates seamlessly into SISO and MIMO networks offering extended range in the smallest form factor possible. Radios swap in seconds with wiring harnesses available for major radio manufacturers.
  • Unparalleled Throughput At Distance. By using Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology on a dual polarized antenna, MTS Radome provides the additional Mbps needed to stream HD video feeds and other data through a MANET at 100+ miles in optimal conditions.
