UHF/MUOS Satcom & VHF/UHF LOS Antenna

Combining highly efficient “droopy dipoles” with a wide band, line-of-sight linear element, the 21-50-48 provides Hi-Lo angle UHF Satcom from a single connector plus a separate VHF/UHF/EPLRS element in a single airborne antenna.

Element shaping and matching of the circularly polarized dipoles provides UHF Satcom coverage right through the UHF and MUOS band with useable radiation and gain typically from zenith down to 20 degrees or less above the horizon.

The robust design is suitable for helicopter and fixed wing aircraft operating up to 450 knots.

  • Finish F81 is NSN 5985-01-623-7126
  • Suitable for helicopter, vehicular, fixed and mobile applications
  • Covers UHF Satcom and MUOS as well as VHF/UHF Line of Sight (LOS)
  • All Weather operation
  • Wide Angle pattern coverage without Hi-Lo switching
  • 200 Watts CW Power handling for Satcom
  • Designed to MIL-STD-810
