Manpack Whip HF (1.6–60 MHz)
Overview :
A compact, durable HF whip antenna engineered for manpack radios and dismounted operations. Covers 1.6–60 MHz with rapid deployment and robust performance across the HF band for voice, data, and ALE networks. Designed for fast field setup, low weight, and reliable operation in austere conditions.
Key Features :
Frequency range: 1.6–60 MHz continuous coverage
Lightweight: optimized for manpack use; minimal impact on soldier load
Compact stowage length: folds or telescopes for carriage on pack or radio frame
Rapid deployment: deploys in seconds with positive locks and no tools
Rugged construction: corrosion-resistant stainless steel and composite elements; impact- and flex-tolerant
Broadband or easily tuned: factory-broadband design with optional quick-tune kit for maximized efficiency at low HF frequencies
High power handling: rated for standard manpack transmit levels; supports voice and data modes
Low profile mounting: compatible with standard manpack radio mounts, mast fittings, and tripod adapters
Environmental durability: operates across wide temperature and humidity ranges; sealed connectors against moisture and dust
Field-repairable: modular element design for quick replacement in the field
Lightweight coax/connector options: right-angle and straight low-loss coax options; ruggedized MIL-spec connectors available
