Designed for fast, vehicle‑based communications, AvL’s 1.0m Drive‑Away Antenna provides reliable SATCOM capability for military and first‑responder teams requiring connectivity on the move. This compact, vehicle‑mounted system enables rapid acquisition and consistent performance during mobile operations or short‑duration stops. Its larger aperture supports improved link margin while maintaining a low vehicle profile, making it well suited for a broad range of mission scenarios. Flexible RF configurations and motorized polarization control simplify integration with tactical vehicle platforms. Rugged, efficient, and field‑ready, the 1.0 m Drive‑Away Antenna delivers dependable communications where mobility, speed, and reliability are essential.

AAQ Controller
AvL’s AAQ Antenna Controller is a flexible, cost‑effective embedded control system designed for transportable satellite antennas operating in harsh environments. Its compact pedestal‑mounted architecture streamlines cabling and supports a broad range of antenna types while enabling fully automatic acquisition—including one‑button deploy/acquire and automated azimuth, elevation, and cross‑polarization peaking. Integrated GPS, electronic compass, and attitude sensors with auto‑compensation ensure accurate pointing, and a built‑in receiver provides precise peaking on satellite beacons or live data carriers. Customer‑configurable target profiles, OpenAMIP support, and both Web‑based and .NET GUI control interfaces give users a flexible, modern operating environment tailored for rapid and reliable operation.
