Military & Tactical Communication Antennas

Mobile Mark covers four deployment areas: vehicle antennas for mounted communications, site antennas for fixed and temporary command posts, compact antennas for unmanned platforms and personnel tracking, and wideband antennas for spectrum monitoring and counter-UAS systems. Within each, options run from multiband platforms down to single-band surface mounts and embedded designs.

Selected models are tested to MIL-810G shock and vibration standards. Testing is run in-house, covering shock, vibration, and ingress to standards that also include IEEE 1478 and EN 61373. Ratings vary by model, so check the specification sheet for the antenna you are evaluating.

Dedicated military bands include 1300 to 1500 MHz, 1350 to 1390 MHz, and 4.4 to 5.0 GHz. Wideband models extend from 300 MHz to 7.2 GHz for monitoring applications. Many military systems also run on commercial networks, so cellular, Wi-Fi, and GNSS antennas are available alongside the dedicated-band models.

Unmanned platforms need compact antennas that pair GNSS with cellular or Wi-Fi in a profile small enough for the airframe or chassis. Mobile Mark offers low-profile surface mounts and quarter-wave device antennas for these installations, along with satellite and GNSS combinations for platforms operating outside cellular coverage.

Yes. Antennas are built to order, so standard models can be configured with the connectors, cables, and mounts a program needs. When a requirement goes further, engineers can adapt an existing design to a new frequency, radiation pattern, or mechanical form, or develop a fully custom antenna.

Drone detection systems need a wideband antenna, because control links, telemetry, and video often run on different bands. Mobile Mark’s super wideband models cover 300 to 7200 MHz with a ground plane kit fitted, hold a horizon-level radiation pattern, and handle up to 300 watts for systems that jam as well as detect.

Yes. Multiband vehicle antennas combine several technologies in one housing, with dual-carrier models carrying 5G and LTE, Wi-Fi, and GNSS together. That cuts roof penetrations and cable runs. Some models add a standard NMO interface so a two-way radio antenna mounts on the same platform.

Yes, antennas can be embedded in equipment or clothing for applications such as personnel tracking. The Mobile Mark PM-1350 is a 1350–1390 MHz wearable patch antenna made to embed in clothing. Mobile Mark also offers board-level and slim over-molded antennas for integration into devices and gear.

Start with four factors: frequency bands, platform, mounting method, and operating environment. Frequency sets the antenna type. The platform and mount decide the form factor. The environment determines the shock, vibration, and ingress ratings you need. Mobile Mark’s US and UK teams can help match an antenna to your system.

Most command posts need both omnidirectional and directional antennas. Omnidirectional antennas cover the site itself, while directional panels and log-periodic antennas carry the link back to a relay or central site. Heavy-duty panel antennas support asset networks on the ground, and mounting hardware supports masts, poles, and walls in temporary or permanent positions.
