1st SOMXS's innovation improves training platform

Staff Sgt. Ryan Hart, a radio frequency transmission system supervisor with the 1st Special Operations Communications Squadron, place a Ku Spread Spectrum antenna on a stand before conducting an operations check at Hurlburt Field, Fla., Nov. 29, 2016. The KuSS Antenna is an airborne broadband satellite communication system that transmits data, such as full motion video that is crucial to real time decision making, from pilots to command and control sites where deployed units are operating. The stand that holds the antenna was built by the 1st Special Operations Maintenance Squadron fabrication flight to reduce set-up time, safety issues and risks by keeping the antenna stable while Airmen conduct operation checks and training.
