The GATR Meter Antenna System is essentially an inflatable satellite dish that is easily toted around and set up in times of need. As Dvice puts it, "'From storm zones to war zones' would be a fitting tagline for Alabama company." Of course, the system can be put into place even in times of peace and serenity. Yet the fact that the entire beach ball-like satellite can be deflated and folded neatly into backpacks enables it to serve emergency situations.
It comes as no surprise that a group of military branches (led by U.S. Army Project Manager) have signed onto a 5-year, $440 million contract to obtain the GATR Meter Antenna System. Since it is made out of fabric, the system is more wind-resistant while withstanding puncture.
