Research abstract

IERUS Technologies proposes to develop a next-generation vehicle mounted SATCOM OTM lens antenna terminal supporting X- to Ka-Band with full spherical scanning capabilities. IERUS will accomplish this solution through our novel antenna and material design processes that are coupled with the ability to computationally model and simulate the most rigorous of electromagnetic designs. Previous IERUS advancements have resulted in fielded SATCOM antennas for US Special Operations Forces (SOF) and adaptive optics systems for the US Army Research Laboratory. IERUS will leverage extensive experience in the devolvement of revolutionary technological designs to successfully simulate, integrate, and commercialize a novel lens antenna design into the theater, enabling sustained communications across the complete spectrum of conflict. IERUS, a HUBZone company, maintains an AS9100D compliant and certified quality management systems for the development of fielded RF products. IERUS has a wealth of experience designing antennas for harsh environments proven through environmental qualifications testing and successful tactical deployment.
