Business Wire
Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that it has successfully delivered its L-Band Link-16 Helical
Antenna system for the Space Development Agency’s (SDA) first
generation of the National Defense Space Architecture’s Transport
Layer, Tranche 0. The system was shipped ahead of schedule and
provides unprecedented performance given its stowed volume. The
delivery follows acceptance testing comprised of environmental
validation and RF performance.
Redwire is under contract with one of two teams awarded
contracts in August 2020 to build 10 satellites capable of sending
and receiving wideband data to and from ground-mobile users, other
space vehicles and ground stations. Redwire is responsible for the
system design, testing, manufacturing and flight hardware
deliveries of three Link-16 antennas. The antennas will enable
beyond line-of-sight communications for the warfighter using the
Link-16 tactical network.
“Redwire is proud to be providing next-generation technology for
our customer in support of the Transport Layer Tranche 0,” said Ben
Wilmhoff, Chief RF Engineer at Redwire. “The L-Band Helical Antenna
is the result of years of research and development of advanced
antenna systems alongside industry and top-tier military
customers.”
The L-band helical antenna is a lightweight, compact,
ultra-wideband antenna for space-based tactical communications. It
interfaces to L-Band radios that support wideband frequency-hopping
tactical networking. Redwire’s two-meter-long deployable helical RF
aperture is extended and supported on-orbit by Redwire’s slit-tube
composite ROC™ boom, a product the company has successfully
demonstrated in space on three other antenna systems for military
customers and developed through an Air Force SBIR Commercialization
Readiness Program.
Redwire’s antenna technology was selected for the original
Link-16 space demonstration mission, called XVI, which was primed
by Viasat and funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
AFRL has additional investments in Redwire’s antenna technology
through an AFWERX Space Pitch Day award. This award allowed Redwire
to demonstrate advanced passive and active antennas for Tranche 1
and future Transport Layer Tranches. Redwire continues to evolve
and develop antennas for tactical communications and RF sensing
applications.
