SATCOM On-The-Move Antennas

Yes. Micro-Ant's Communications-on-the-Move antennas are designed and tested to meet MIL-STD-810 environmental requirements. They are engineered to survive rugged terrain, extreme temperature fluctuations, constant vibration, shock, and debris exposure — making them suitable for the most demanding tactical and defense mobile platforms.

Micro-Ant antennas have been certified by major satellite operators including Intelsat, Inmarsat Global Express, Eutelsat, SES O3B, Iridium Certus, Thuraya, and Hughes, as well as ARSTRAT for military WGS terminals. Certification-ready test reports are generated at Micro-Ant's in-house testing facility.

Micro-Ant designs SATCOM COTM antennas for vehicle-mounted, airborne (helicopter, UAV, fuselage), maritime (shipboard), and man-pack or flyaway configurations. Each antenna solution is custom-engineered to match the mechanical, aerodynamic, and electrical constraints of the specific platform and operational environment.

Yes. Micro-Ant specializes in bespoke antenna design and has delivered over 1,000 custom antenna products. Their engineering team works collaboratively from initial specification through certification, tailoring frequency coverage, aperture size, gain profile, polarization, and environmental compliance to your exact mission requirements.

Mechanically steered antennas use a physical gimbal or positioner to track satellites, offering high gain in a compact aperture. Electronically steered arrays (ESAs or phased arrays) use beam switching with no moving parts, enabling near-instantaneous LEO satellite tracking with make-before-break handover, making them ideal for fast-moving or vibration-prone platforms.

Micro-Ant holds AS9100:2016 certification for aerospace quality management and ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems. Their Jacksonville, FL facility features state-of-the-art testing infrastructure, and every antenna is rigorously tested before shipment to ensure compliance with electrical, mechanical, and satellite operator performance standards.
