Rolatube Pneumatic Portable Mast 6m Rapid Deployment
Technical specifications
Technical overview
The Rolatube Pneumatic Mast of 6 meters is the fastest antenna and sensor elevation solution on the market for special operations teams, forward observers, and SIGINT teams in forward field positions.
The system deploys fully from an 8 kg field pack in under 60 seconds operated by a single person. Carbon fiber laminated tube technology allows compressing the 6 meters of height into a transport length of only 1.2 meters. The included high-pressure manual inflation pump allows repeating the deploy/retract cycle indefinitely without consumables.
The universal head adapter accepts directional and omnidirectional antennas, camera payloads, and SIGINT sensors up to 8 kg payload. The optional guy wire system allows operation in wind conditions up to 45 km/h without antenna pointing degradation.
