TriQuad Antenna System

A lightweight man-portable antenna solution providing high accuracy DF for HF, VHF, and UHF.

The TriQuad system is comprised of two antenna elements which when deployed together provide complete coverage from 2MHz to 3GHz. Alternatively, each antenna can be used separately to suit the frequency coverage required for the mission profile. The three configurations possible are:

  • QuadTac (with Lightweight Tripod)
  • MicroQuad
  • TriQuad (seamless integration of QuadTac and MicroQuad)

This modular approach gives the end-user the capability to deploy only the equipment required at the time, whilst still maintaining the potential for full coverage if circumstances rapidly change.

QuadTac

Designed for flexibility in the battlespace, the QuadTac's lightweight, folding structure provides users with a rapidly deployable tactical Direction Finding capability. When used in isolation it provides an On-the-March capability and remains operational when collapsed if the visual signature needs to be reduced.

  • Operates On-the-March
  • Detects and DFs signals in the V/UHF spectrum
  • Compact folding design which can be deployed in seconds
  • Works when collapsed to provide continuation of capability while reducing visual signature

MicoQuad

The MicroQuad antenna is typically used in conjunction with the QuadTac where it provides a base for the QuadTac. It can also be operated in isolation if only HF spectrum monitoring is required.

  • Detects and DFs signals in the HF spectrum
  • Compact folding design which can be deployed in seconds
  • Man-packable
