Multi-function V/UHF LOS/UHF Satcom and GPS Antenna

The 21-50-78 is a rugged multifunction V/UHF LOS, UHF Satcom and GPS antenna designed for airborne applications. A high strength aerodynamic vertical shell houses a 30 to 512 MHz linear element that can be used for V/UHF line of sight “LOS” communications or UHF Satcom at low angles of elevation. This vertical shell also supports a “Bat-Wing” shape horizontal element containing a pair of cross dipoles, connected to provide high angle, right hand circularly polarized UHF Satcom coverage and an L1/L2 passive GPS antenna. The antenna is completely sealed and filled with closed cell foam for long term protection against moisture ingress and reliability is further enhanced by a polyurethane rubber coating over all leading edges. 

  • Hi angle UHF Satcom & MUOS coverage
  • Lo Angle V/UHF LOS communication
  • Covers L1 and L2 GPS Frequencies
  • EPLRS compatible
  • Low wingspan minimizes loading on aircraft structure
  • Fixing holes compatible with 437S1-H
  • Designed to MIL-STD-810 Environmental Requirements
  • Erosion protection over all leading edge surfaces
