ThinSat Talos

Ultra Low-Profile, High Performance Tri-Band (K/Ka/Q) Integrated Antenna/Terminal Subsystem Provides High Data Rate Satellite Communications for the On-the-Move Tactical Warfighter

ThinKom’s ThinSat® Talos Integrated Antenna/Terminal Subsystem provides a high performance system capable of OTM operations for WGS, AEHF, GX, commercial Ka-Band and future satellite constellations. Based on ThinKom’s patented VICTS antenna technology, the ThinSat® Talos combines an ultra-low-

profile Integrated Antenna/Terminal Subsystem design (6” high) that has been ruggedized for the demands of the military environment, optimized for multi-vehicle platform compatibility (wheeled and track vehicles), and built for unparalleled performance.
