Multi-band Tactical Terminals – for use in Military and Government applications

Our portfolio includes a comprehensive array of tactical terminals that have been rigorously tested and validated for military and governmental applications. These solutions are designed to address the full spectrum of contemporary threat environments, encompassing everything from portable personpacks and tactical flyaway systems to vehicular mounts, expansive mobile ground stations, and stationary Vsat hub gateway antennas. Globally deployable, our terminals operate across C, X, Ku, and Ka-Bands and offer the flexibility of manual assistance or advanced quad-band automatic pointing features.

Holkirk Flyaway/Personpack terminals are portable satellite communication systems designed for quick deployment and ease of transport. These terminals are specifically engineered to be carried by an individual, making them ideal for field operations where mobility and rapid setup are crucial.

Features:

Portability: The terminal is lightweight and compact, designed to be easily carried in IATA cases.
Quick Deployment: It can be set up and operational within minutes, providing immediate communication
Durability: Built to withstand harsh environments and rough handling, making it suitable for field
High Performance: Offers reliable and robust satellite connectivity for data, voice, and video transmission.
User-Friendly Interface: Simplifies operation, even for users with minimal technical expertise.

Applications:

Military Operations: Provides secure and reliable communication for troops in the field.
Disaster Recovery: Enables emergency response teams to establish communication in disaster-stricken areas where infrastructure is compromised.
Broadcasting: Used by government media personnel to transmit live news from remote locations.
Medical Missions: Supports telemedicine and remote consultation in underserved or isolated regions

Unparalleled Performance in secure communication environments

The Holkirk DRM150 is a cutting-edge, multi-band antenna system meticulously designed for the demanding requirements for secure multi-network communication, the DRM150 is your reliable partner for communications in any corner of the globe.

Key Features:

Tri-Band Capability: X, Ku, and Ka-band frequencies with quick-change feed cassette.
Robust Design: 1.5m carbon fibre reflector antenna, built for durability and high performance.
Auto-Pointing: Full multi-band auto-pointing capability for effortless satellite acquisition.
Tracking: the AIM MOBILE ACU has non-GEO orbit capability for use with inclined orbit satellites
Integrated System: BUC, LNB, and waveguide are all integrated into the design for a streamlined setup.

COMPACT
The DRM antenna is an ultra-compact tri-band system which encompasses the drive control, positioning hardware and beacon receiver into the fully sealed and aerodynamic antenna enclosure, making the system a robust standalone sub-assembly ready to install onto almost any vehicle.

VERSATILE
The multi-band operation has been designed for effortless change over in the field. The feed, BUC and waveguide for each band is mounted on a simple and quick interchange cartridge which means the only connections you need to make are power, L-Band and control.

EASE OF USE
There are no tools required to change the band of operation. All satellite acquisition commands are performed via the simple and easy to use antenna controller unit. The DRM system is equipped with a GPS receiver, electronics compass and levelling inclinometers The AIM MOBILE antenna controller is an integral part of the DRM150, designed to make satellite acquisition seamless and user-friendly. The AIM MOBILE will automatically sense the frequency of the selected feed frequency and adjust all the satellite acquisition parameters to allow fast and simple search and lock of any satellite network

Controller Highlights:

User-friendly interface: Guides users through the acquisition process with step-by-step graphics
Versatile: Suitable for users with varying levels of training
Customizable: Engineers can alter acquisition data as needed
Compatibility: Can be used on a range of Holkirk products with auto-pointing capabilities

The AIM MOBILE controller is a testament to Holkirk’s commitment to innovation, providing a fully mobile ACU that simplifies the acquisition process for all users.

We produce a range of motorised Vsat HUB stations for use in C, X, Ku and MIL-Ka-Band

Applications:

Satellite ranging terminal
Inclined orbit tracking
Multi-satellite dish positioning

Vsat STATION is a complete integrated solution from Holkirk and can be configured to suit any application.

1.2M, 1.8M, 2.4M and 3.8M antenna options
C, X, Ku and Ka-Band frequency range
De-Icing systems
Lighting protection
NPNM, King-post, wall mounted options
Integrated RF and electronics (BUC/LNB/modem)
Light weight construction
Self-commissioning and auto-acquire procedure
Ethernet controlled graphical interface

With a wide powered movement of 0° to 90° elevation and 100° azimuth range, optional solar shield assembly and 110/240VAC input, the Vsat STATION will provide reliable worldwide operation.

An array of sensors integrated into the Holkirk AIM STATION will allow the system to determine its geo-location as well as it’s perpendicular elevation angle relative to the surface of the earth (not terrain dependant) so installation is very simple with the self- commissioning and auto-acquire process.

Power outage feature – The array of sensors that are incorporated into the Vsat STATION will allow the system to be powered off for any amount of time and still be able to SEARCH, LOCATE and TRACK an inclined orbit satellite without the intervention of experience staff.
