AvL Technologies’ stand at IBC 2017 will feature our newest line-up of flyaway antenna systems - the Family of Integrated Terminals (FIT).  The FITs are designed to accommodate current and future modem, RF and satellite frequency options.  On display will be aperture sizes - 1.35m, 0.98m and 0.75m. This new line of user-configurable, IATA checkable and carry-on satellite terminals are ultra-compact, ultra-lightweight, ultra-high performance fully integrated systems, which can be upgradeable from manual-point configuration to a motorized, auto-acquisition platform.

Additionally, we will have a 1.2m O3b MEO tracking Ka-Band antenna on display. The antenna offers the power of O3b’s high throughput, low latency connectivity. These tactical terminals operate in tandem pairs (same size) with make-before-break communications and can be set-up and on-the-air within two hours.
A new addition to the O3b family - the 0.70m rapid re-trace, a single lightweight antenna with a <7 second retrace enabling re-sync without disruption.

Defense Strategies Institute’s GEOINT and Open Source Analytics Summit allows US military commands, government agencies, academia, and technology providers the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation about the future of open-source technologies in the GEOINT landscape. The Summit seeks to find solutions to the challenges promoted by the integration of open-source geospatial imagery with classified sources in order to provide the IC with the highest quality GEOINT data available.

The summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. This educational summit enables the Intelligence Community, military intelligence organizations and the private sector to come together to address the latest efforts to improve the quality, availability, and analysis of geospatial and open source intelligence.

At MILCOM, global military communications professionals face command, control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) challenges head on. They look at them from every angle and discuss them from end to end - research and development through future needs. The conference allows industry the opportunity to hear and understand the requirements, pace of change and state of play in a variety of C4ISR markets serving the military, federal agencies and multinational entities. The MILCOM 2017 theme, Military Communications and Innovation: Priorities for the Modern Warfight, captures the importance of attending this event. The competing priorities of speed, security and cost must be addressed to ensure success in the cyber domain. The challenges are many; accelerating innovation to the warfighter is a key enabler to meeting our nation's toughest mission requirements.
