AX3000 Marine Tracking Antenna and Multi-Band Transceivers CDL and MIMO
for Manned, Unmanned Aircraft and Surface Vehicles - UHF to Ku
80% of the world’s population lives within 100 km of a coastline. Manned and unmanned aircraft are routinely called upon for search and rescue, intelligence gathering, coastal sovereignty and homeland security.
Ideally suited to connect aircraft surveillance from naval platforms, the AX3000 automatically tracks high bitrate video and data links even when satellite position, navigation and timing data / GPS is unavailable.
Precision radio tracking, dependable operation and dynamically balanced systems ensure accuracy and control in demanding marine domains.
Operating in these environments require mitigating the effects of temperature, humidity, pressure and salt/fog. In particular, these systems require corrosive resistant materials and environmentally sealed enclosures. On land or sea AX3000 tracking antenna are equipped with high-proficiency mechanical systems and automated software to maintain continuous operation, reliable positioning, navigation, and timing even in GPS denied environments.

Troll’s ground antennas maximize data link range and reliability. They provide automatic acquisition and tracking in multiple frequencies from UHF to Ku.
Radio solutions include Troll’s MicroLink® SDR or customer specified radios: CDL or MIMO. An intelligent antenna, MiniGS is capable of simultaneously tracking multiple constellations while continuously solving for heading to within ±0.15°.
The GS is equipped with an edge-computing processor that allows users to directly control the antenna without Troll’s PCC remote control application. With its powerful onboard computer, Mini GS enables Troll’s auto-tracking software and third-party applications to deliver long-range, multi-stream capability at low latency. Boasting improved reliability, stability and interoperability with customer-supplied transceivers, GS can be configured to adapt to harsh conditions and contested operational areas. During US Army field tests the GS blew away competitors gaining industry-wide recognition for tracking accuracy and advanced GPS-denied technologies. Powered by Cyclops, it effortlessly establishes and defends high-bit-rate data links over long distances and in challenging radio environments.
