“We are glad to sign the contract with Airbus DS-GS to provide us with the latest-generation 4 meter, multi-band Rapid Capability Terminal,” said Ronald van den Akerboom, Project Manager for Satcom Projects for the Netherlands Defence Material Organization. “Airbus provided us the best option in terms of technology, composition and price. Several factors were especially important to us, including the solid state amplifiers in the multi-band terminal, the compact container that makes the unit highly transportable by land, sea and air, and the capability of rapid deployment by two persons.”A gateway class SATCOM terminal, the Airbus 4.0M RCT deploys quickly and provides a high data rate. The carbon-fiber antenna and proprietary pedestal can be easily assembled by two operators. The unit is lightweight with maximum stiffness, yet offers compact and highly robust components.
“The RCT is the result of our innovative approach to satcom solution development,” said Cliff Marcy, Director of Solutions & Products at Airbus DS-GS. “It’s proven and combat-tested, allowing expeditionary communications in austere environments while providing a robust and compact solution for sustained operations. We look forward to this opportunity with the Royal Netherlands Air Force and the RCT.”About Airbus DS Government Solutions, Inc.Airbus DS-GS is an industry leader in satcom and networking systems. The company’s unparalleled experience enables it to perfect requirement analysis, system design, turnkey delivery and logistics support of satcom systems. Airbus DS-GS creates innovative, effective space and defense solutions for customers, keeping them ahead of the technological curve and driving the industry forward.
