I am assuming you already have access to the TM, and you know the standard SATCOM antenna for that radio is 5985-01-149-2576.

If a specific vehicle mounted antenna, or even an adapter for such use, is made, it must be something new and "special" - to the point that I cannot research it from home on a holiday when all the CECOM people are unavailable.

Good luck - and if nobody has answered by Tuesday US time I will ask the right people.

OliveDrab,
Are you looking for the "SATCOM on the Move" Antenna? I Googled AV 2090 and came up with two types, and the company. We have these in my present asignment but I think they are still non-standard with no NSN assigned. I can check and let you know for sure tomorrow. Going directly to the company may be one option. PM me your specific unit information and I may be able to point you in the right direction for obtaining them through the system.

It's what we call an "X" wing. If you haven't gotten the NSN yet, I'll ask the commo guys or If I have time, I'll go down to my team room and pull it myself.

Are you near an FOB? you can always ask the sigdet guys. There's always a shitload of them lying around.

OliveDrab,
Take at look at this link http://www.cbd-net.com/index.php/search/show/453871 it's a request for bid on the X-wing antenna, it still doesn't give an NSN, but it does give
the manufacturers name and part number...

REQUIREMENT: The contractor shall provide the following items:(1) Foldable X-Wing SATCOM Antenna, Trivec-Avant Corporation Part Number AV-2090-10B or equal.


TRIVEC Avant's web page with info on the antennas is here http://www.trivec.com/satcom.htm, it also gives POCs at the company. I would humbly suggest contacting them for more information, if it has a NSN, they'll know it.

Hugh, ----back to lurking.
