Possible State-Side Applications For A Military Antenna

By Claudine Hodges


Soldiers and technicians all over the United States have developed and tested a wide assortment of communications equipment. This equipment, such as a military antenna, has more than tactical purposes. Many private businesses can utilize this same technology, even purchasing their equipment through merchants who represent the Department of Defense.

Covering frequencies of VHF up to 137 MHz and GPS to 1575.42 MHz is the VHF/GPS. This portable piece of equipment has been known to fit the 26.5 dB gain GPS panel mount system. As such, one can find these on small aircraft such as helicopters or ultralight airplanes, as well as yachts and even luxury cruise ships.

The UHF/DECT is a base station whip-style which works on 1.88 to 1.98 gigahertz, or 1880 to 1980 megahertz frequencies. This style is often utilized on ground vehicles, which makes them useful for delivery companies, taxi drivers, as well as school and city buss systems. Pretty much any industry which utilizes local vehicle-based travel will find the DECT useful in their day-to-day business.

For the daily household application, a UHF/W-LAN is the perfect item of technological equipment that the whole family can use. These antennas can keep the whole family connected through wifi signals that make cell phones and computers all part of the household communication program. The old-fashioned dinner bell has gone digital.

None must forget the fact that most technological advancements come via war and conflict in the world. Necessity is always the mother of invention, and nothing creates necessity quite like the drama of armed conflict. This has been true from the WWII creation of our modern Interstate Highway system all the way back to the creation of the wall around the city of Troy.

Within this modernization, it is now possible for individuals to purchase anything from clothing to electronics from Army/Navy surplus stores. There are still many of these quaint, old businesses out there in our communities, and these are great fun to visit during the Holidays, but many options are available online. This makes gift-giving for the returning soldier so much easier for friends and relatives.

For those who were able to remember the first Desert Storm conflict, there was a great deal of consternation regarding sand and dust particles getting inside equipment, including guns and cannons. The decades spent fixing these problems are easily seen in the improvements of electronics utilized in recent years. These newer antennas should be rugged and ready to pick up even the most faint of signals without picking up every particle of dust in the air.

When choosing gifts this Holiday season, whether for an old soldier or a newly returning Veteran, be sure and visit your local Army/Navy surplus stores. You just might be surprised at what Uncle Sam has lined up these days. It is not just a place to buy combat boots or a costume for the next Halloween party, but also a place to stay up-to-date on the latest technology.
