Full Motion, DC Control System Solutions

The Series 2000 controllers add to our existing limited-motion-control solutions and add value in a fast-growing segment of the industry.

POWAY, CA, February 11, 2020 — Radeus Labs, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance systems for the defense and SATCOM markets, today announced the release of its 2000 Series Antenna Control System designed for use with full-motion antenna systems in LEO/MEO applications. The Radeus Labs 2200 and 2300 systems provide a state-of-the-art control solution for both new installations and retrofits of older antennas. The system is designed to be used on antennas, from virtually any manufacturer, using a single DC motor drive per axis.

“The Series 2000 controllers add to our existing limited-motion-control solutions and provide value in a fast-growing segment of the industry. Our technical capabilities continue to grow, along with our offerings to the market as a whole,” says Ken Cone, CTO for Radeus Labs. “We are focused on our customers and providing them with the technologies they need to get the job done in the field. This
is just the latest in a long line of planned control solutions,” says Cone.

Radeus CEO Juliet Correnti adds, “We are very excited about our expanding line of antenna control products and how they are adding value for our customers. We work hard to ensure that our solutions, support, and delivery are industry-leading.”

The Model 2200 antenna control system (ACS) is currently available through M2 Antenna Systems of Fresno, CA with their AE2000 series antennas and directly from Radeus. The Model 2200 ACS provides users with target scheduling, remote operation via SNMP, and automatic update capability for NORAD two-line element sets and IESS-412 models. The Model 2200 incorporates closed-loop control of
velocity for smooth control of higher-velocity antennas.

The Model 2300 antenna control system comes with a DC drive cabinet capable of working with different makes of full-motion antennas. The 2300 ACS can be used on new builds or as a retrofit solution for aging systems. It is a complete solution for LEO/MEO antenna systems. The 2300 ACS was selected by a major global LEO operator in 2019. The first system was installed in June of 2019 and is now
operating virtually 24/7, providing accurate pointing capability for their full-motion
LEO applications.

Writing a Grant Proposal for Dispatch or Public Safety Gear? Focus on These 3 Things

You know the drill: your department needs new equipment now, but the budget, or the grant, only goes so far. That’s why so many emergency services teams apply for what they can get today, with plans to expand when more funding comes through.

The good news? Funders are often open to a phased approach, as long as you spell it out clearly. When you show that your gear can scale with your needs, you’re not just being budget-savvy. You’re showing long-term thinking, operational resilience, and responsible use of public funds.

In this post, we’ll walk you through the three most important things to include in your grant proposal, so you can get the equipment you need now, and build on it later.

Why R&D Hardware Choices Can Make (or Break) Your Project

If you’re part of an engineering team, you know the story too well: the prototype works fine, but once you move toward production, everything starts to fall apart. The part you counted on goes end-of-life. Licensing costs balloon out of nowhere. Thermal issues show up in the field that you never saw in the lab. Suddenly your carefully built timeline slips, and you’re the one explaining delays and budget overruns to leadership.

The hard truth? Most of these headaches can be traced back to hardware decisions made early in R&D.

Couldn’t Make It to MODSIM World 2025? Here’s What You Missed!

Earlier this month, innovators and defense leaders gathered in Norfolk, VA for MODSIM World 2025, an event dedicated to modeling, simulation, and digital twin technologies. For those who couldn’t attend, here’s a look at the standout themes, conversations, and connections that shaped this year’s conference.
