SD Government, Gogo’s division that provides satellite communications to governments around the globe, has received U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command T-1 certification for a roll-on/roll-off Tactical Removeable Airborne Satellite Communications (TRASC) system for Lockheed Martin C-130H and -J transports. There are some 1,000 C-130H/Js in service, with half of these in U.S. military fleets.

This certification initially includes a Gogo Plane Simple Ku-band terminal but will expand to offer a Plane Simple Ka-band terminal and other network compatibilities. The TRASC system includes a hatch-mounted satellite antenna, an antenna controller, a router, and an executive communications kit. Electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility testing has been completed to both Block 6 and 8 standards on the C-130H/J.
