Redwire Antenna Technology Enables Tactical Link 16 Transmission from Space as Company Prepares to Deliver More Antennas for a Future LEO Constellation
12 Décembre 2023 - 1:30PM
Business Wire
Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that its L-Band Link 16 Helical Antenna technology
successfully demonstrated the transmission of a Link 16 signal from
space. The Link 16 waveform provides a tactical advantage for the
warfighter by enabling the transmission of rapid and secure
communications directly to the battlefield, speeding
decision-making cycles. This is a major milestone for the future
development of tactical warfighter networks in space.
The antenna system was developed by Redwire for an undisclosed
national security customer. Redwire was responsible for the system
design, testing, manufacturing, and flight hardware deliveries of
three Link 16 antennas. The antennas will enable beyond
line-of-sight communications for the warfighter using the Link 16
tactical network, a military tactical data link network designed to
provide warfighters operating on land, in the air, and at sea with
secure, anti-jam communications.
“Redwire is proud to contribute to this transformative
achievement that advances crucial capabilities for our nation’s
defense,” said Redwire Space Systems President Adam Biskner. “This
demonstration underscores that Redwire is delivering capabilities
critical to space development that are proven and effective.”
The successful Link 16 demonstration comes as Redwire prepares
to deliver more L-Band antennas to another national security
customer.
These successful milestones build from Redwire’s years of
antenna and RF systems development for industry and military
customers. Redwire’s antennas and RF systems are manufactured in
the company’s recently expanded Longmont, Colorado facility, which
has a factory capacity to deliver in excess of 120 antennas per
year. These antennas are part of Redwire’s rapidly growing antenna
and RF payload portfolio. Redwire’s antenna technology was selected
for the original pathfinder mission to demonstrate this waveform
from space.
