Patented VICTS Technology

What Sets Us Apart

Electronic or Mechanical?

The Best of Both.

Our patented “VICTS” phased-array technology combines the technical benefits of mechanically steered and electronically scanned arrays (MSAs/ESAs) to deliver consistently high performance in the harshest environments. To the fastest-moving aircraft, vehicles and vessels – no matter their location on or above the planet – our unique phased arrays deliver:

  • Gap-free, pole-to-pole coverage
  • Satellite constellation interoperability
  • High beam agility for network flexibility
  • Installation versatility with low-profile design
  • Reduced OpEx from ultra-efficient operation

The VICTS Advantage

VICTS Spelled Out

VICTS stands for “variable inclination continuous transverse stub.”

In very simple terms, the technology is comprised of layers of lightweight discs rotating around a single axis to steer the beam and control polarization.

Similar to electronically scanned arrays, the beam moves but you don’t see any moving parts on the antenna.
