1.2m Multi-Band Motorized FlyAway Antennas

The 1.2m 1030-T tripod flyaway is a new take on an antenna AvL has been producing for many years. This ruggedized terminal operates on a lightweight one-piece tripod that easily unfolds and anchors for a quick set-up. Once the tripod is in place the positioner attaches quickly with hooks and locks, and the positioner includes and I/O panel with connectors. The offset 1.2m reflector flexible removes from the positioner to enable a compact pack-up. The antenna packs into two IATA-compliant airline checkable cases.

Key features:

• Enhanced wind tolerance of 45 mph gusting to 60 mph for Ku operation
• Packs into two rugged cases
• 1.2m segmented 4-piece AvL carbon fiber reflector with optional (1.4m) extender panels
• Standard 2-port precision Ku-band feed (standard cross-pol comp.)
• Motorized AvL Cable Drive for reliable positioning
• One button auto-acquisition controller
• Interfaces with all types of RF electronics and satellite services
• Compliant with MIL-STD-188-164a

Options include:

• Case-based or tripod configuration
• 2-port mode-matched Ku-band feed (enhanced cross-pol comp.)
• 4-port Ku-band wideband feed
• 2-port L-band feed
• Model 1050 and Model 1268: 2- or 4-port Ka-band feed
• Model 1050: 2-port X-band feed

The 1.2m military flyaway antenna family includes the following models:

• Model 1.2m 1030-T is a tri-band Ka, Ku or X-band antenna system that packs into two IATA compliant cases; the tripod is one piece for quick assembly and the positioner includes an I/O panel
• Model 1.2m 1030 FA DBS antenna operates in DBS, Ku, Ka and X bands; the antenna is configured with a tripod or case-based and packs in two cases
• Model 1.2m 1230-T is a tri-band Ka, Ku or X-band antenna system that packs into two IATA compliant cases; the tripod is one piece for quick assembly and the positioner includes an I/O panel. This terminal is currently in ARSTRAT Ka Phase 3 and Inmarsat Category 1 and 4

As of 2023, AvL has produced 4,000+ 1.2m 1030-T Rugged FlyAway antennas and they're in operation around the world. The core 1.2m 1030 antenna is used by primes on many U.S. Army and SOCOM Programs of Record, and customer versions have been ARSTRAT certified for 10+ years. To celebrate the milestone, all AvL employees signed an antenna that we've showcased at industry events throughout 2023.
