| Abstract: |
PSI proposes a broad band antenna that can be disguised to look like part of a ground vehicle. The antenna will have an omni directional beam pattern and so will block IED detonator receivers in all directions and at all frequencies commonly used by IED detonators. |
| Benefits: |
Broad band antennas are of great value for both military and commercial applications. Most vehicles (military or commercial) are equipped with multiple radios, GPS navigation, data links and voice channels. Today each of these systems requires individual antennas. In the future multiple systems could be connected ultra broad band antennas, saving significant space on the outer surface of the vehicle. |
