Abstract:The purpose of this antenna optimization study is to perform antenna placement optimization for the Blue Force Tracking (BFT), Iridium, and International Maritime Satellite (INMARSAT) antennas on the proposed Mounted Battle Command On The Move (MBCOTM) Stryker system. The MBCOTM Stryker system uses the Stryker Command Vehicle (CV) as its baseline. Engineering analysis of the Stryker CV points out a number of challenges with the antenna integration. First and foremost, the BFT, INMARSAT, and Iridium share the s… Show more
