SATCOM & tactical communications, matched to your mission profile

UAV payloads, manpack radios, vehicle turrets and maritime domes all demand different trade-offs between size, weight, power and link reliability. We configure the right band, power tier and product series for each.

UAV & airborne datalink communications

Unmanned platforms have almost no tolerance for excess mass. The Air-Series was built specifically for this constraint.

Aaron Defence supplies the XMW Air-Series — AirBUC™, AirLNB™ and AirBDC™ hardware — for UAV beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) SATCOM relay, ISR downlink and airborne gateway payloads. The lightest units start at just 0.45kg, enabling integration into small and medium UAS without compromising the airframe's power or weight budget.

Multi-band AirLNB™ variants (Dual, Tri, and Quad-band) allow a single receive chain to work across multiple satellite fleets, reducing the number of antenna feeds and downconverters an airborne payload needs to carry.

Defence-grade ruggedized systems — D-Series

For vehicle integration, ground stations and forward-operating terminals that need to survive shock, vibration and environmental extremes.

Ku-band D-Series BUC

8W to 80W ruggedized amplifiers (D-T1308 … D-T8080G) for defence terminals and vehicle-mounted uplinks.

X-band D-Series BUC

100W / 150W high-power amplifiers (D-T80100G / D-T80150G) for long-range, high-throughput tactical links.

Ka / Ku D-Series LNB

Dual, Tri and Quad-band low-noise blocks for multi-fleet interoperability on a single defence terminal.

Mobility Platforms

Vehicle-mount, maritime & portable terminals

The core Mobility BUC and LNB range covers everything from man-portable SATCOM to vehicle-mounted and maritime VSAT.

Vehicle-mount SATCOM

Ka / Ku / X / C-band Mobility BUCs (10W–100W) paired with Dual/Tri/Quad-band LNBs for on-the-move and on-the-halt terminals.

Maritime terminals

Compact BUC and LNB hardware for stabilized maritime VSAT domes, sized for radome-constrained installations.

Man-portable / manpack

Mini-series Ku-band BUCs from 1.5kg and light LNBs for rapid-deployment portable SATCOM kits.

Link Assurance

Mission continuity & interference protection

Two capabilities defence and UAV programs consistently require: automatic failover, and protection from adjacent-band terrestrial interference.

1:1 & 1:2 Redundancy Systems

Fully automatic outdoor redundancy for BUC and LNB/LNA hardware across Ka, Ku, X and C-band. Faults are detected and the system switches to the alternate unit via waveguide and IF switch — with GUI-based M&C over Ethernet and hot-swap replacement of the failed unit without taking the link down.

5G Interference Protection

C-band LNBs (5G / 5GX series) and dedicated band-pass filters reject adjacent 5G terrestrial signals up to 100MHz from the satellite passband — the 5GX series remains functional under −25dBm of 5G interference, critical for C-band terminals operating near populated areas.
