Proteus Unity

The Proteus™ Unity Modem System is the only dual-use satellite modem proven to operate efficiently through rotor blades. This advanced Software-Defined Radio (SDR) system delivers resilient, safe, secure IP communications on all commonly-used frequency bands across land, naval and airborne platforms.

Greater Resilience

  • Resistant to rotor blade blocking and agnostic to blade size, number of blades, single or twin rotor platforms
  • Uses hybrid Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) techniques
  • Automatic link adaptation for rain fade, platform movement, satellite footprint variation
  • Provides interference-free, through-rotor communications to helicopter satellite terminals

Increased Efficiency

  • Highly scalable, supporting up to 125 modems in a single network
  • Automatically shares bandwidth to optimise satellite resources and cost-efficiency
  • Suitable for fixed, land mobile, airborne and naval platforms
  • Supports all commonly-used frequency bands to reduce equipment required in the field
  • Hosts multiple waveforms for different uses with simple software upgrade, reducing through-life costs
  • Designed for easy integration into modern IP-based networks, including support for QoS and advanced routing

Increased Security

  • All configuration and management interfaces are secured so the system cannot be maliciously re-configured or monitored
  • All network control traffic is secured and protected from exploitation, including that for DAMA and ACSM
  • Entire modem is designed against UK CESG CPA baseline standard
  • Hardware security module is designed against NIST FIPS140-3 Level 2 standard, providing independent assurance

Safe Operation

  • Supports EMCON Silence Mode, allowing users to receive without transmitting
  • Supports ESM Mode, enabling simultaneous operation of Electronic Support Measures and satellite communications equipment
  • Eliminates the backscatter of RF into the aircraft cabin by not transmitting into a overhead blade and causing RF reflections

Easier to Deploy

  • No ITAR components, allowing export to most countries
  • Standard sizes and installation requirements
  • Easy to use with automated modem management
  • Quickly re-plans network as requirements change and automatically disseminates into the field
  • Seamless integration with IP networks, with standard interfaces and fully-featured integrated router and switch
