SMC Group supported Project SPEAR, a HF radar system located on Svalbard, Norway, designed to research the Earth’s upper atmosphere and magnetosphere, in the vicinity of the polar cap. It consists of an array of 24 full wave, crossed dipoles designed to operate at 5.0 MHz.
Situated in such an isolated site it was difficult to transport the required equipment to site so SMC Group designed and delivered the Alumast and TS sectional support masts to be flat packed and assembled on site, as well as the associated rhombically broadened dipole antennas. This was one of the largest arrays of mast and antenna systems in the world.
Project SPEAR has the support of scientists from Scandinavia, Germany and the USA and will be in the forefront of the international effort in to space research well into the new century.
