Evolving Tactical Communications
Over the last sixty years, the nature of conflict has dramatically changed.
In the early second half of the 20th century battles were largely waged
in rural environments, to defend a nation or continent from a foe in an
easily recognisable uniform. In the 21st century, the scenarios are very
different in that the majority of conflicts are of a smaller scale. These
include counter insurgency and peacekeeping activities on global basis
against a threat that is indistinguishable from the local population going
about normal activity.

As a result of these changes in the tactical
environment, communications has evolved to
cater for the following:
• Increased volume of traffic, simultaneous
voice and data.
• Increase in global communications with
tactical UHF Satellite capability.
• Greater mobility requiring smaller, lighter
radio equipment and ancillaries.
• Migration of developments from the civil
market into the military sector e.g. WiFi,
WiMax, GPS Navigation, Internet etc.
• Increased range of frequencies used
for communications and neutralising
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) require
a high performance broadband antenna.

Design, supply and support of
in-service tactical antennas
The Solution
Cobham Antenna Systems provides the most
extensive range of high performance, robust
and compact antennas to support the latest
generation of tactical personal radios and
portable jammers:
• Single band antennas, HF, VHF, UHF
(including TacSAT), covert, TETRA.
• Multi-band antennas for multi-role radios or
manpack radios with built-in GPS.
• Broadband antennas for Software Defined
Radios and High Capacity Data Radios that
maximise performance over very wide
frequency bands.
• High power versions of all of the above for
portable jamming needs.
Cobham Antenna Systems compliments the
above with an extensive range of accessories,
for example:
• AMUs (Antenna Matching Units) are
available separately or integrated within the
manpack whip antennas.
• Ground spike adaptors with ground planes
to utilise antennas remote from the radio.
• Elevation kits to mount antennas on
tactical masts. This facilitates increased
communications range.
• Knuckles and goosenecks to adjust the angle
of the antennas on the radio for:
– Combatants in the prone position
– Improved Near Vertical Incidence
Skywave (NVIS) performance
– Protection of the antenna/radio
from obstacles
