The AN/WSC-6(V)9 SATCOM Terminal provides reliable high data rate communications to deployed naval small combatant and support ships. The terminals provide dual-band operation; X-band over DSCS or allied military satellites and C-band over commercial satellites. For platforms with demanding antenna siting, the terminal can be configured with dual antennas to eliminate superstructure blockage. The AN/WSC-6(V)9 consists of above-deck and below-deck equipment interconnected by cross-deck cables.

AN/WSC-8(V) Navy Shipboard Terminal

The AN/WSC-8(V) SATCOM Terminal provides reliable high data rate communications to aircraft carriers and command ships. The AN/WSC-8(V) shipboard terminal is a COTS/NDI SATCOM system based on the U.S. Navy's successful Challenge Athena III terminal. The AN/WSC-8(V) SATCOM Terminal supports full-duplex communications at data rates up to 1.544 megabits per second. Communication with other SATCOM terminals at C-band radio frequencies via commercial (i.e., INTELSAT, DOMSAT) satellites. For platforms demanding antenna siting, the terminal is configured with dual antennas to eliminate superstructure blockage.  The AN/WSC-8(V) SATCOM terminal is no longer in production and is being replaced with the Harris CBSP Force Level Variant.

Commercial Broadband Satellite Program Force Level Variant Terminal

The Commercial Broadband Satellite Program Force Level Variant (CBSP FLV) terminal provides high data rate communications to naval large combatants and support ships. The terminals provide simultaneous dual-band operations: C-band and Ku-band over commercial satellites. The CBSP FLV is a COTS/NDI SATCOM system expanding upon the U.S. Navy’s successful AN/WSC-8(V) terminal. These terminals, also provided by Harris, have demonstrated fleet availability of 99 percent while supporting bandwidth on-demand networks. The CBSP FLV terminal supports multiple missions: quality-of-life and SHF MILSATCOM backup.
