CPI GMA-100QB Quad Band On-The-Move Antenna

The GMA-100QB antenna system provides on-the-move (OTM) line of sight (LOS) bi-directional communications capability for ground vehicles to link to UAVs in L, S, C, and Ku-bands. Capable of Churchville B OTM performance, the GMA-100QB is equipped with high performance motors/drives on both axes to easily handle the high dynamic loads, and is stabilized by internal AHRS, allowing full independence from vehicle data. The receiver with built in Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) allows the antenna to rapidly scan the sky for all available signals and quickly point to the desired airborne asset, eliminating the delay of external modem decoding of the signal. Embedded amplifiers on transmit/receive at all bands allow a full communications system with only the addition of external DC power and a modem.

The GMA-100QB includes both a compact multiband high gain directional antenna array, enabling long range LOS datalinks, and a broadband omnidirectional antenna for close-in/overhead communications. Frequency band and antenna selection is electronically commanded.
