What is a Man-Pack? Broadband capable, Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) compliant for overhead

storage on commercial aircraft.

What is a Fly-Away? Broadband capable, Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) compliant for checked

baggage on commercial aircraft with no overweight

restrictions..

3 / 3 / Technological Life Cycle

For many years, the technological life cycle was primarily associated

with computers, televisions, cellular phones, and similar small devices

Starting in 2005, the technological lifecycle began to include the actual

satellites being launched

Improved power

Improved power management

The improved capabilities of the satellites has allowed manufacturers to

reduce the size (aperture) of the remote terminals

The reduced size of the terminals has allowed

Reduction in terminal power needs (e.g. number of batteries)

Which results in reduced weight

Reduced weight and reduced power allow a modular approach in

engineering the satellite terminal resulting in easy to swap apertures

sizes, multiple swappable modems, and easy transition between

different bands

4 / 4 / Tampa Microwave – Family of SATCOM Terminals

Modular Family of SATCOM terminals for X, Ku, and Ka

(commercial and military bands)

Common modules across entire family

Specially designed for the

Light/Expeditionary/Dismounted User

7 / 7 / CopaSAT, North America

Match terminal with baseband

to provide expeditionary C4ISR

from small (two person) team

up to Command Post element

– common modules, common

components, on-demand

services; hardware re-

purposing; mission

configurable solution..

CopaSAT, N.A mission is to provide turnkey solutions

to customers requiring ruggedized, low-SWAP, high

throughput solutions focused on expeditionary and

continuity requirements.

The first provider of worldwide X, Ku, Ka, and Ku 30B

satellite services, hardware, and support personnel.

Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Contingency

Operations (On-Demand) capability for Natural and

Man-Made Disaster Scenarios

8 / 8 / Future

High throughput Satellites, such as INMARSAT Global Express, Intelsat

Epic, Quantum operational in near-term, e.g. 2017-2020).

High Throughput Satellite (HTS) leading to continued reduction in

remote terminal size for same or better throughput.

Increased ability to perform On the Move due to reduced antenna sizes

for all types of vehicles (Sea, air, land).

Increased ability to perform MESH resulting in bandwidth savings (one

hop). Maybe true end to end service as simple as the cell phone is also

part of the future.
