AvL Military & Defense

Military applications are typically the most demanding of all satellite communications. From vehicle mounted to flyaway applications, no other manufacturer has fielded more military antennas than AvL. Our antennas have become the ultimate solution of choice for numerous military agencies, including the US Army and US Marines.

The selection of AvL by military agencies is usually based on our unique, robust designs. No other manufacturer can combine the essentials of rugged packaging, robust wind performance, ease of operation and post-delivery customer support at a very competitive price.

While the vast majority of military applications to date have relied on commercial satellite interoperability, especially at Ku-band, AvL is now leading the industry in the delivery of systems that will operate over the next generation of military satellites, including Xtar (X-band) and the new US Army Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) constellation (X- and Ka-band). Most of our military antennas can be offered with upgradability to X- and Ka-bands of operation.

AvL antennas interface easily with all RF systems and are compliant with FCC and Intelsat requirements for 2° spacing as well as optional models for meeting Eutelsat and Asiasat criteria. AvL antennas are also in the certification process for operation over the US Army DSCS and WGS satellites.
