India Embraces ATCi's Warrior Satellite Monitoring System

Antenna Technology Communications, a provider of commercial satellite communications systems, has announced the deployment of its Warrior Satellite Monitoring and Surveillance System for the Indian region.

The Warrior Satellite Monitoring System can simultaneously provide complete observation for satellite activities spread over 140 degrees. However, with the added upgrades, the system goes beyond the basic TT&C monitoring. Designed for the unique requirements of government and military entities, Warrior allows the operator an in-depth view of not only the spectrum usage/ geo-location issues involved in satellite carriage, but also the ability to manage, control, and archive the data, voice and video content being carried on any given satellite on any given transponder in its viewing arc simultaneously.

Moreover, the proprietary search and retrieval technology loads key information METADATA into an interlinked network of IP storage servers to provide unparalleled surveillance tools for today’s communication needs. These systems must provide the best information immediately in order to make vitally important decisions.

“Due to recent incidents in Mumbai, there has become a heightened requisite for extensive monitoring and surveillance of everything in the sky for India and other countries around the world,” said ATCi’s CEO, Gary Hatch. “ATCi has a long standing history in implementing surveillance and monitoring systems for the Department of Defense and other similar government and military agencies in the US, which made tailoring a system for the Indian defense network a sensible progression. It is not enough to simply monitor FSS satellites, today’s surveillance must also have the ability to associate and provide critical algorithm patterning data, which can ultimately process and associate unlimited IP data, thereby delivering greater security,” Hatch concluded.

All hardware, software, engineering, and installation services are included with the turnkey Warrior Satellite Monitoring System.
