The Typhon T-400 satcom antenna is lightweight and takes up a small amount of space.

On Monday, Astronics unveiled the Typhon T-400 satcom system, which is engineered to operate on any geostationary-earth-orbit (GEO)-based Ku-band satellite network. With the T-400, Astronics aims to mitigate the traditionally high costs associated with equipping aircraft with satcom connectivity.

The design of the Typhon T-400 includes a reduction in the number of line replaceable units (LRUs) required from four to two. This simplification not only eases the installation process but also substantially lowers the cost of satellite connectivity. “Customizable variants of the system, including a modem-less configuration, offer special mission and military end-users heightened flexibility," according to Astronics CSC president Mike Kuehn.
