Dassault Falcon successfully completed a flight test of the Teledyne Controls/EMS Technologies HSD-128 onboard its Falcon 900EX demonstration aircraft. “The HSD Satcom provides global digital geo-stationary satellite communications with 25 times the speed and efficiency of previous Satcom systems,” claimed a spokesperson.

The four-hour flight took off from Dassault Falcon’s completion facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. The equipment consisted of the HSD-128 single-box High Speed Data solution integrated with EMS Technologies’ AMT-50 High-Gain Antenna System.
