Harris Delivers Lightweight Multiband Satellite Terminals To Marines
Quantico - Sep 16, 2003 Harris Corporation has delivered 13 of the first 28 transit case- configured Lightweight Multiband Satellite Terminals (LMST) to the U.S. Marine Corps. The highly mobile LMST ground terminals provide deployed military forces with reach-back to headquarters operations as well as satellite-based voice, video, and data communications connectivity within the battlefield. "LMST Block 5 will become one of our most popular SATCOM products because of its greatly enhanced terminal communications capabilities," said Bob Henry, senior vice president, Harris Corporation, and president, Harris Government Communications Systems Division (GCSD). "We are excited about the delivery of this next-generation terminal to the Marines, and are confident that it will support their operations well into the 21st Century." Under terms of the contract, Harris is responsible for program management, training, depot support and production for the LMST Block 5 ground terminal program. The terminals provide military X- and Ka-band receive capability for Global Broadcast System (GBS) operations, and commercial C- and Ku-band access to satellite-based voice, video, and data communications. Through Block 5 enhancements such as a six-spoke hub with a reach-back capability, LMST now offers significantly greater capability and flexibility than previous generations of the terminals, as well as six times the number of communications links and double the bandwidth capacity. LMST is designed to be modular and configurable for various missions such as humanitarian, disaster relief, and regional conflicts.
