Implementing new mobile broadband technology is critical for real time situational awareness and Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities that keep military personnel one step ahead. To provide end users with vital operational support, Hughes Defense & Intelligence Systems Division and Kontron aligned advanced engineering, design technologies, networking and embedded computing strengths to deliver mobile beyond-line-of-sight (BLoS) satellite communications.

 In a new application story about the Hughes HM 200 satellite modem design, learn how their rugged reliability requirements are met with the Kontron COBALT:

• Delivers a modular building block enabling Hughes to also streamline development of future standards-based applications—all from a single platform that enables the use and reuse of low power, proven designs
• Meets military requirements for standardized COTS-based technologies in a sealed and IP67 validated platform that offers a wide selection of feature options
• Provides the necessary small footprint and low-power fully optimized for both performance and reduced Size, Weight and Power (SWaP)
