DRS's X-Band Small-Boat Satellite Communications On-The-Move (XOTM) Antenna subsystem is designed for continuous bi-directional high-bandwidth voice, video and data in a highly dynamic environment. The design approach provides a lightweight, compact and affordable On-The-Move (OTM) solution combining a rugged mechanical architecture with highest quality COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) components for small boat, riverine and USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) applications.
The design is based on proven technologies integrated into a complete OTM package. Integrating navigation sensors, control electronics and RF equipment on the pedestal, it provides improved stabilization, acquisition and tracking performance. The combination of open-loop pointing, closed-loop tracking and software algorithms for sensor fusion, enable high performance in an affordable architecture.
