Flight Termination Systems
TCS offers Flight Termination Systems using our standard antenna Pedestals and Helix antennas. These Helix antennas are custom-designed for the frequency of operation, required gain, transmit power, etc, to fit your application. Also, other options with parabolic reflectors are designed and built to the required specifications.
Our state-of-the-art controller, the ACU-M1, controls these antenna pedestals. With our controller, the FTS operation can be customized to suit individual needs. Built-in safety precautions can be programmed into the ACU-M1 to prevent accidental transmission of high-powered signals in the wrong direction. A Mission Mode button is also provided to allow for the removal of these safety precautions in dire situations.
Uses TCS 1800 or 2400 Series Pedestals with Helix Antennas
Customized operational freq., gain, transmit power & more!
Controlled by ACU-M1 controller
Built-In safety precautions
Rotary joints in both axes for high power systems
ACU/Pedestal connection via RS485 or Fiber
These systems can be slaved to other antenna systems or can run off a pre-determined course for tracking targets. The ACU-M1 accepts slaving data over Ethernet, Serial, or Parallel connections.
Our FTS systems have rotary joints in both axes for high-power systems. Communication between the ACU and the pedestal are either on RS485 or on fiber. This eliminates bulky control cables. Appropriate RF interfaces will be used to handle the high power levels safely. TCS can also integrate high-power amplifiers into the systems. We provide on-site support for installation, integration, and testing.
