Projects

C-130 Beyond Line-of-Sight Tactical Removable Airborne Satellite Communications (TRASC) Integration

Fort Walton Beach, FL · Defense · 2026 · Client: Gogo's SD Government (SDG) Division

Project details

Developed a Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) Tactical Removable Airborne Satellite Communications (TRASC) system for C-130 aircraft in partnership with Gogo's SD Government division. Designed and patented the Multi-Purpose Hatch System (MPHS) that replaces the standard forward escape hatch, enabling rapid installation in under 30 minutes and providing high-throughput global broadband connectivity.

HC-130J Combat King II Communications Suite FDE Testing

Fort Walton Beach, FL · Defense · Client: Air National Guard/Air Reserve Command Test Center (AATC)

Project details

Integrated two roll-on/roll-off Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) SATCOM systems aboard an HC-130J Combat King II during the Sentry Aloha large-force exercise. Supported the Air National Guard/Air Reserve Command Test Center (AATC) in conducting a Force Development Evaluation (FDE) of the Ku/Ka Communications Suite, enabling simultaneous access to Low Earth Orbit (pLEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite architectures alongside Link 16 and SIPRnet operations.
