Two airborne terminals share one mission — keep the satellite link while the platform moves: a 20 kg flat-array COTM for larger UAVs, airships and aircraft, and a 6.5 kg all-in gimbaled unit custom-fitted to lighter airframes. Both were built for aviation environments: salt fog, humidity, thermal cycling, low pressure.

FAQ
Do these integrate with your drones?
The airborne line is engineered to pair with long-endurance UAV platforms — the 20 kg COTM targets large fixed-wing and hybrid airframes; the Lite unit fits lighter platforms with a custom mount.
Ku or Ka for airborne links?
Both bands are offered across the two terminals; we match band to your satellite service and flight region.
