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.

Voices Driving Innovation: Wayne Black's Career Lesson - Listen First, Then Solve

Wayne Black's greatest engineering skill has nothing to do with equations. After five decades solving impossible problems, he'll tell you the secret is knowing when to stop talking and start listening.

From NASA internships designing Mars spacecraft to troubleshooting satellite systems across six continents, Wayne's five-decade career reads like a technical encyclopedia. Today, he consults with Radeus Labs, where his deep understanding of orbital mechanics and antenna control systems helps the team tackle complex technical challenges.

But ask Wayne what matters most in engineering, and he won't start with orbital mechanics.

"Listen to your customers. Listen to your technicians. Listen to the system itself."

Radeus Labs Heads to I/ITSEC 2025: Unveiling Next-Generation Multi-Card Infrastructure

The Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) has earned its reputation as the world's largest modeling, simulation, and training event, and for good reason. Each December, thousands of defense, aerospace, and training professionals converge on Orlando to explore cutting-edge technologies, participate in groundbreaking discussions, and forge partnerships that shape the future of military readiness and education.

This year, Radeus Labs is proud to be part of that conversation. We'll be at Booth #275 throughout the conference (December 2-6), and we're bringing something new with us!
