    HeloSat is a beyond-line-of-sight SATCOM system that allows rotary-wing aircraft to transmit wideband data through their rotor blades in real-time. It uses an advanced waveform that addresses signal loss caused by the blades. HeloSat has been tested and certified for various applications including ISR, border security, emergency response, and MEDEVAC. The system is lightweight, modular, and customizable to meet mission and aircraft requirements.

    HeloSat: Beyond-Line-of-Sight SATCOM System


    for Rotary-Wing Platforms
    Hughes is bringing wideband multi-megabit data to rotary platforms with
    patented, through-the-rotary-blade Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLoS) Satellite
    Communication (SATCOM) technology. Our trailblazing capability equips Operational Applications:
    helicopter to support next-generation, real-time Intelligence Surveillance
    and Reconnaissance (ISR), border security, law enforcement, emergency Q INFIL/EXFIL mission sets
    medicine, and disaster response. (Data to or from the aircraft)
    Q Airborne ISR gathering
    Wideband Data Delivered without Interruption Q Search and rescue
    For years the helicopter community has been ‘disadvantaged’ because Q Border security
    rotary blades essentially chop up SATCOM signals and act like a signal
    Q Wildfire and disaster response
    jammer. This blockage limits rotary platforms from sending and receiving
    wideband data through the blades without interruption. Now with HeloSat, Q MEDEVAC Transport
    helicopter platforms can transmit real-time data, such as full-motion video,
    on or off of the helicopter, becoming the critical link between success or
    failure.

    HeloSat—Proven and Certified Solution


    HeloSat’s cutting edge, through-the-rotor transmission technology has
    been proven and demonstrated during numerous flight tests, successfully
    passing government-led validation and assessment exercises need to
    obtain airworthiness certifications. This success did not happen overnight.
    Hughes has been studying and attacking the rotary platform challenge for
    years and has become your trusted expert. When we began this process,
    we started by focusing on the waveform so we could determine the most
    effective way to limit the data loss caused by the rotary blades chopping
    up the SATCOM signal. The Hughes Advanced Development Group (ADG)
    used its highly skilled engineers and made significant advances in signal
    processing technology, which culminated in developing our patented
    Advanced Microsat Waveform (AMW). AMW is the only waveform in the
    global satellite industry that has truly addressed the data loss issue,
    enabling real-time, streaming data through the rotor blades without
    interruption.

    Lightweight and Adaptable Hughes HM400 Airborne Modem


    Rotary platforms have also created additional challenges
    for SATCOM solutions due to their Size, Weight and Power
    (SWaP) restrictions. Helicopter SATCOM solutions require Q Using next-generation,
    lightweight, small-volume, state of the art components. software-defined
    For this reason, the entirety of the HeloSat solution is technology
    easily adaptable—designed to be tailored to address Q Leveraging the Hughes
    specific mission needs, operational constraints or limiting Through-the-Rotor
    characteristics of the user’s rotary platform. By collaborating Waveform
    with a great team of partners, HeloSat has been proven
    compatible with a variety of satellite bandwidth providers
    (i.e., Intelsat, Inmarsat, O3B, etc.) and antenna vendors (i.e.,
    GetSat, ThinKom, etc.).

    Delivering flexibility and agility for our customers is one of


    Hughes’ top priorities. Contact us at [email protected]
