A Debriefing With Bill Milroy
In MilsatMagazine's June 2021 issue, the editor interviews our chairman and CTO where he answers the following questions:
Tell us a little more about the pilot program with General Dynamics for the U.S. Army armored brigades.
Would you please summarize what you see as the current and near-term military requirements for COTM SATCOM antennas?
Looking further into the future, what are the requirements that will govern next- generation COTM SATCOM for military applications in terms of form-factor and performance characteristics?
Do you foresee a requirement for flat panels mounted under the skin of the vehicle?
You mentioned Protected Comms earlier. How will this affect SATCOM COTM antenna requirements?
Do you foresee a requirement for multi- frequency antennas?
We read and hear a lot these days about electronic scanned arrays (ESAs). What are their advantages and limitations for the COTM battlefield environment?
How does VICTS differ from ESAs?
