Manpack
The SlingShot Manpack system is low in Size, Weight and Power and uniquely allows the dismounted soldier to maintain BLOS comms without having to pause and locate the satellite.
Maritime
The Maritime SlingShot system provides a robust antenna with various mounting options for use on waterborne craft. Communication is maintained at speed and in tight turns.
Slingshot
