The Satcom-on-the-MoveTM (SOTMTM) terminals, developed

and manufactured by General Dynamics SATCOM
Technologies, offer robust voice and data wideband satellite
communications from vehicles in motion over rugged terrain.
X, Ku and Ka-band modular, interchangeable payloads are
available. The full-motion SOTMTM terminals can be deployed
on a wide variety of both on-road and off-road military
and commercial vehicles via our flexible Above-the-DeckTM
flush mount design. The fully interoperable, joint service
terminals are field proven in demanding off-road combat
operational conditions and are currently deployed in theaters
of operation worldwide. Current customers include the US
DOD and international MODs. X, Ku, and Ka-band terminals
offering even higher data rates are available and are currently
fielded by international customers. The General Dynamics
SOTM terminal is the first such system to be licensed by
the FCC for use in the United States.
