INTEGRATED ANTENNA MAST

 

SYSTEM IAM is a groundbreaking tactical integrated antenna mast that revolutionises man-portable communications. The IAM is manufactured from a lightweight and strong composite material with a highly efficient dipole antenna embedded in the construction. A user simply unrolls the mast, connects it to their radio and starts transmitting. The 3.5m IAM is extremely light and compact and weighs just 1.9kg (4.2lbs)* with a rolled size of just 150mm (6″). The mast can either be handheld, supported with guy ropes, or elevated via the rigging point. The 3.5m IAM enables dismounted personnel to quickly access high performance communications infrastructure in challenging environments and scenarios.

 

This design of the tactical integrated antenna mast ensures there is no conductivity or signal loss when in contact with grounded objects. The high efficiency of the omni-directional antenna delivers significant increases in range capability and performance for VOR communications compared to traditional equipment.  The top cap has a 30mm socket for the addition of lightweight antenna, expanding the system to L-Band capability for example, enabling the mast to be used in a wider range of applications such as telemetry, aircraft surveillance and GPS. Satellite and mobile phone communications also become available in this frequency spectrum.

 

SYSTEM IAM 3.5m is available in two versions (VHF & UHF) to match operational frequencies and each version is available in four colours.

A 7m version is also available.
