Communicate With Confidence
SHIPBOARD CARRY-ON SATCOM SYSTEM (SCOSS)
The DRS Shipboard Carry-On SATCOM System (SCOSS) allows for
easy setup and operation within 30 minutes of boarding a ship and
provides continuous service on wideband satellite networks while
underway. SCOSS can transmit and receive at data rates up to 6
Mbps using both commercial Ku or X-Band frequencies. The DRS
X-Band variant is certified for operation on the Paradigm, XTAR and
WGS satellite constellations.
The lightweight and dual-purpose design allows for easy deployment
on both large and small Navy vessels. If needed, the system can
also be removed from the ship and installed on a vehicle to provide
continuous high bandwidth communication. Modes of operation
include both single and dual antenna (diversity) configurations.
Diversity mode is used to compensate for shipboard blockage
issues and allows two terminals to be connected to a single
modem in a remote RF convergence box. The RF convergence box
automatically manages the antenna while maintaining continuous
modem lock.
Single antenna mode allows the user to select the embedded
modem or an external L-Band modem. SCOSS kits are designed to
meet military standards for shipboard operation. The system has
passed MIL-STD-810 (environmental), MIL-STD-461 (radiated and
conducted emissions), and MIL-STD-464 (electromagnetic
environmental effects).
WGS CERTIFIED
The DRS SCOSS kit comes ready for operation
in an iDirect network with an embedded iDirect e850MP Satellite
Modem. The antenna unit also brings out standard L-Band for use
with any other satellite modem.
A single SCOSS terminal can be transported with only 3 transit
cases and only 5 transit cases for dual antenna diversity mode.
A complete 5 case dual antenna SCOSS kit occupies less than half
of an ISU-90 shipping container. The full diversity kit includes two
SATCOM terminals, two AC power supply modules, two fiber optic
communications converters, two inertial navigation units, and one
RF convergence box.
