Our revolutionary verticial screwdrive mast is designed for communications, reconnaissance and surveillance applications that require rapid, automatic deployment and maximum reliability with high antenna pointing accuracy. Designed to meet military environment standards (Ref. MIL-STD-810), the small footprint of 1.5 square feet readily allows internal or external mountings in HMMWV, shelter or ground installations. Made from durable, high strength carbon fiber composite tubes, Stiletto's pointing accuracy is very precise, both in deflection and azimuth rotation.

The Stiletto™ series electro-mechanical telescoping mast is available in 4, 6, 10 and 15 meter models. The Stiletto is both lightweight and low profile, and features automatic self-locking sections.

Stiletto™ Advantages

Three key benefits to Stiletto's non-rotatable, automatic self-locking composite masts are:

  • Safety - Self-locking sections and positive mechanical drive for extension and retraction allows Stiletto to lock at any height without power
  • Reliability - Designed to meet the listed MIL-STD-810F Environmental Standards for operation in harsh military conditions
  • Maintainability - Fast, five minute in-field routine maintenance, as well as easy disassembly and reassembly for depot maintenance

Suggested Applications

Military applications include surveillance,mobile communications, target acquisition and electronic warfare.
