Mobile and Airborne Missions Require Precise Direction Finding and Reliable RF Performance
Mobile, maritime and airborne platforms require antenna systems that provide accurate directional intelligence, robust RF performance and the mechanical durability needed for dynamic mission environments. Operators also need antenna solutions that can be quickly assembled, withstand harsh weather and support a wide range of communication requirements.
Kratos’ Direction Finding (DF) Spinning Antennas are engineered to meet these needs. The DF spinning antenna system enables accurate measurement of the direction of incoming signals, making it ideal for surveillance, signal intelligence and navigation applications. Lightweight and rugged, it integrates seamlessly into mobile and airborne platforms.
Kratos’ Bifilar Helical Antenna is designed for rapid assembly and survival in wind speeds up to 115 mph, providing both reliability and flexibility for satellite communications. Together, these antennas offer compact footprints, rugged construction and mission-ready performance across demanding environments.
