HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - May 6, 2010) - SatMAX Corporation (
SatMAX® ALPHA Portable 003 equipment will be used by the Lockheed Martin High Altitude Airship (HAA) program to test satellite-based communications and avionics. The HAA is an un-tethered, unmanned lighter-than-air vehicle that will operate above the jet stream in a geostationary position to deliver persistent station keeping as a surveillance platform, telecommunications relay, or a weather observer. The HAA also provides the Warfighter affordable, ever-present Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance and rapid communications connectivity over the entire battle space. The technology is available now and ready for integration and flight test.
SatMAX® repeater technology enables satellite communications users to quickly and easily make fully wireless voice and data communications from any non-line-of-sight location. Historically limited by the requirement for satellite communications to have line-of-sight access to orbiting satellites, with SatMAX users now have the ability to access dependable and uninterrupted wireless satellite communications.
With this order, Lockheed Martin continues the validation of a concept of using SatMAX® repeaters for data transfer and testing of aircraft avionics. The SatMAX® repeater will allow HAA engineers to avoid towing the HAA from the airdock to establish a line of sight to communications satellites in order to test satellite-based aircraft avionics systems. This new order will represent another important commercial validation and new application of the SatMAX® technology.
