This utility model relates to the field of helicopter technology, specifically to a bracket for installing airborne
satellite communication and pods on helicopters. It includes a cabinet
assembly, a pod
assembly, an airborne antenna
assembly, and a positioning antenna. The cabinet assembly consists of a CIU (Computer Integrated Unit), a computer, a small table, a cabinet frame, a tray, an IP phone, a cabinet power supply box, a
base station equipment box, a top cover, and
signal lights. The pod assembly includes a bowl-shaped component and an optoelectronic pod. The entire cabinet assembly is bolted to one side of the seat rail. The entire pod assembly is installed below the original
nose pylon via the bowl-shaped component. The entire airborne antenna assembly is fixed to the left side of the
cockpit ceiling via an antenna mounting plate and mounting bracket. Successfully installing the
satellite communication and pod equipment improves the helicopter's
information acquisition and
processing capabilities, enabling real-time transmission of field information to the ground
command center. This solves the problem of the lack of readily available installation platforms for existing Bell 429 helicopters, which makes
satellite communication
system installation inconvenient.
