According to Gatr, the terminal provides a more than 90 percent reduction in logistical size and weight without sacrificing performance, compared to rigid tracking antennas of similar aperture.<\/p>\n<p>Gatr Trac is a cost-effective method for downloading real-time satellite imagery in forward deployed situations, Gatr stated. Its portability makes it ideal for on-demand and on-site satellite imagery applications, such as tactical <strong>Department of Defense<\/strong> (DOD) applications. Gatr Trac has successfully downloaded imagery from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites including: Spot 6 and 7; Pleiades 1A and 1B; Eros A and B; TerraSar X; TanDem X; RadarSat 2; and Worldview 1 and 2. The mobile-direct receiving station allows for direct downlink from anywhere the antenna can be setup, giving faster access to satellite imagery and data for mission critical applications.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gatr, in the current satcom industry, satellite imagery can take between 12 hours to several days to receive telemetry information in-hand. With Gatr Trac, it is possible to schedule a same-day satellite downlink and process data within 30 minutes after the satellite passes the terminal. In addition, transporting of the Gatr Trac antenna is less expensive than existing trailer-based antenna systems, which can result in savings of more than $250,000 per deployment, Gatr stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Gatr Trac mobile antenna can be setup in less than 45 minutes and transported in four cases, each under 100 lbs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cubic Corporation subsidiary Gatr Technologies has unveiled the Gatr Trac, a portable 2.4-meter satellite tracking imaging ground station.
