PathFinder began supplying MVSAT solutions for the Prophet programme in 2010. The company was asked to develop Tri-band (Ku, Ka and X) mobile ground system very small aperture terminals (VSAT) for deployment on the Trojan network, as well as future deployment on WIN-T.
The company has also secured a follow-on contract from General Dynamics Mission Systems to carry out upgrades and resets to PathFinder’s BAT-750 satellite terminals.
As part of the upgrades, an antenna control unit and modem will be integrated, EMI filters will be installed, and enhancements will be made to reduce vibration of the antenna while operating on military M-ATVs in harsh terrain.
Work includes resetting the terminals to fully operational condition.
