Shipboard Antenna Control
Shipboard System Challenges
|
The marine environment poses unique challenges for antenna control. Today's marine market demands high performance antenna systems to deliver broadband Internet, video, voice, and data reliably and at a reasonable price. DRS Codem Systems, Inc. has risen to this challenge by providing affordable, flexible, and durable antenna controllers for marine platforms.
As a leading supplier of shipboard antenna control systems to system integrators and end users, our engineers understand the complexities of shipboard antenna control from modeling the ship's motion and selecting appropriate orientation sensors, through supporting shipboard trials and certification.

Six Steps to Custom Shipboard Solutions
- Modeling ship motion and translating this model into dynamics requirements
- Analyzing pointing and tracking to determine overall system performance requirements
- Selecting the appropriate orientation sensor package for the application
- Supplying the controller, track receiver, sensors, motors, position sensors, and user software as required
- Providing engineering for system integration with the gimbal and recommending gimbal suppliers
- Supporting motion table and/or shipboard trials and certification
