ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MD – Army scientists developed a first-of-its kind antenna that could change how ground vehicles and airborne systems communicate, transmit, and receive radio frequency communications.
The Army ManTech program matured a manufacturing process using a special class of engineered materials known as metaferrites to make an ultra-thin wideband antenna. The antenna conforms to curved surfaces, making it ideal to integrate in unmanned aircraft systems, rotary wing aircraft, and ground vehicles.
