A second mission scenario demonstrated autonomous operation transmitting to and from a 4-meter <strong>Gatr<\/strong> antenna located at Fort Bragg, providing Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and live video using an encoder. In January the HM300 terminal saw use during a combat airborne training operation when a paratrooper jumped the HM300 terminal while another jumped baseband equipment, demonstrating the terminal\u2019s Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) benefits and earning it a \u201cjumpable\u201d designation.<\/p>\n<p>Hughes\u2019 HM300 terminal is designed for early entry units, forward deployed teams, long range scout teams and executive communications.
