I'm no expert but I think the one at the bottom right is a dual-band SATCOM antenna. It looks like a AS-3567 medium-gain antenna like this one :


with added parts from a AS-3568 high-gain antenna...

The steel antennas take the shape of what I think are called Antelope (I could be very wrong about the name!)

If this is correct it is a form of very long distance communications antenna which co-incides with the sincgar system, it's a satelite sender/receiver antenna.
It would be White at the bottom section (fat section) & black on the upper thinner section.

..of course I could be wrong but its just my two cents!

I saw these antennas on a M1130 CV Stryker, I think they are for microwave communications. Unfortunatly the US Army is a little secretive about such matters. Anyway, a good idea, I couild use several of them form my projects.

@ Mr. Dong/ Voyagerdesign: If you need maesurement of the MX-6707 Antennna mount, I have one in my collection. Drop me a PM.

Cheers

Hi there,

Here are some pictures I took of a SATCOM antennae mounting on an M1151 UAH at my facility.

SATCOM Antennae On M1151A1 UAH



This would be a simple thing for Voyager to produce. I could provide measurements if needed.
