CUBIC | GATR has revolutionized the portable SATCOM industry with its patented, inflatable communications hub.

The GATR’s unique antenna design, an inflatable radome and flexible parabolic reflector mounted at the equator, enables deployment of a 4-meter class Ku-band satellite terminal in as few as four cases and under 400 lbs. (180 kg) total. This reduces pack-out weight and volume by over 80% compared to deployable rigid hubs, making it ideal for rapid insertion, remote applications and contingency scenarios for Military, Intelligence, and Homeland Security organizations.

Compared to other deployable rigid dishes of comparable size, the GATR’s unique shape and design enable…
