Get SAT’s air SATCOM solutions for transport, tanker & mission aircraft

Milli SAT EX – C-130 Hercules SatCom terminal

Milli SAT EX is a Lightweight satellite terminal solution tailored to meet C-130 Hercules mission
requirements. Designed for Ka-band, Milli SAT Ex offers unmatched performance in
an extremely compact package of 22kg weight, including a Multi-Purpose Shoulder
Panel System. Optimized for voice, video, and data transmission.

Milli SAT EX supports Roll-On / Roll-Off (RORO) C-130 airborne applications
without requiring any modification to the aircraft. The unit’s radome does
not obstruct existing aircraft surfaces, other instruments or antennas while
providing high bandwidth data throughput exceeding 30 Mbps with HTS
satellites.

Milli SAT EX supports Mil-Ka band and is compatible with Inmarsat’s GX
network. The terminal is fully FAA-compliant and design to operate on all
C-130 variants. A turnkey solution including a dual-modem integrated transit
case that accesses various Ka band networks simultaneously.

Aero Blade series – ESA SatCom terminal

The Aero Blade series delivers high-performance communication for both in-flight connectivity (IFC) and
mission-driven military aviation. Engineered for versatility, Aero Blade supports multiple configurations
across LEO, MEO and GEO constellations, enabling near seamless transitions between satellites—even
mid-flight.

Aero Blade combines ultra-fast beam switching and a fully electronic design to ensure consistent,
low-latency connectivity with zero moving parts.

Built to meet DO-160 and MIL-STD environmental and electromagnetic standards, Aero Blade is ready
for the toughest operational demands, offering long-term reliability, reduced maintenance, and realtime
adaptability.

The Aero Blade series has different versions:

Sling Blade C-17 Globemaster III SatCom terminal

Sling Blade C-17 Electronically Steerable Antenna operates in Ka-band and seamlessly connect with
GEO and MEO satellites, and will be compatible with future LEO Ka band satellites. The terminal requires no modification
on the aircraft, thanks to a kit installed in the safety trap.

This Roll-On / Roll-Off terminal provides a broad spectrum of communication functions, including the
transmitting of live video, voice, video conferencing and access to essential networks.

Helicopters

Milli SAT H LW – Mechanical SatCom terminal for Helos

Milli SAT H LW wideband SatCom solution provide both range and high data rate for helicopters (versus L-band SatCom / HF / V/UHF).
The patented Roll-On / Roll-Off SatCom kit is turnkey and replaces the existing access door. The kit includes the following elements: frame, door assembly, antenna, radome,
modem.

The frame is mounted to aircraft structure utilizing mounting brackets and center beam. Door is mounted on the frame. The kit ensures zero integration work and no permanent modification on the helicopter (MIL STD 810 & IP66).

LESA Blade – Electronically Steerable Antenna SatCom terminal for Helos

LESA Blade is a Ku band multi-orbit terminal, delivering high-performance SatCom
connectivity on multiple LEO and GEO satellite networks without compromising the
helicopter’s agility or payload.

This ultra-low profile terminal, integrated in a hatch mount,
allows flexible installation options for different airborne applications.

Designed for in-flight connectivity, the LESA Blade enables short acquisition
time and allows high dynamic tracking for the best performance.

UAVs

Get SAT offers a wide range of different sizes of SatCom terminals adapted to all kind of UAVs.

Nano SAT – Ultra-lightweight SATCOM terminal

The Nano SAT terminal is designed for the Ka-band and supports SES’ O3b
MEO constellation, providing autonomous operation for the transmission and
reception of high bandwidth data rates at more than 2 Mbps.

Micro SAT LW – lightweight SATCOM terminal

The Micro SAT LW is designed for the Ka or Ku-band and supports a
wide range of satellite networks, providing autonomous operation for
the transmission and reception of high bandwidth data rates at more
than 10 Mbps.
