Chelton's Land Systems portfolio delivers a comprehensive range of rugged communication solutions for modern defence. As the company notes, it is "famous for our rugged highly dependable antennas" and has "branched out into many fields of Land products". From its origins in advanced antenna design, Chelton now provides ground-penetrating radar for ordnance detection and the most fielded vehicle intercom systems (over 1,000,000 units in service). Chelton's land-based systems even include Air Traffic Management (ATM) installations at civilian and military airfields worldwide. This breadth of capability – spanning ground radar to tactical radio equipment – underscores Chelton's role at the forefront of defence communication technology.

Chelton's Land and Vehicle Antennas provide robust connectivity for ground forces and tactical vehicles. These antennas are built to military-grade standards: single-band, multi-band and broadband designs support modern combat net radios, software-defined radios, high-capacity data links and UHF SATCOM (UFO/MUOS). High-power variants are available for electronic warfare and jamming applications (e.g., counter-IED tasks). To extend range, Chelton also offers accessories like ground-plane spike adaptors, antenna elevation kits, and tactical masts, enabling a complete deployable communications infrastructure.

On the vehicle antenna side, Chelton's designs span HF, VHF, UHF and GPS bands. Field-proven whip and fiberglass antennas feature flexible, interchangeable sections and spring-mounted bases for impact survivability. Wide-band and multi-band models reduce the number of antennas needed on a vehicle, cutting down co-site interference. Many vehicle antennas incorporate built-in interference cancellation and filtering to improve performance exactly where commanders need it. Drawing on over 60 years of airborne antenna expertise, Chelton ensures its military vehicle antennas meet the most demanding environmental and performance challenges.

Chelton's commitment to land antenna excellence is reflected in their in-house R&D. The company "develop[s] high-performance land and vehicle antennas, enabling reliable connectivity for modern tactical operations". Designers even offer custom antenna solutions (e.g. conformal or digital-network antennas) so that units can "operate at the tactical edge" with uninterrupted communications.

Chelton's Vehicle Intercom Systems (VIS) keep vehicle crews connected in combat. As the VIS product page explains, these systems are "tough and tested with over 150,000 systems in service around the world". Built to full military specifications with battle-damage resilience, the VIS platform provides reliable, clear voice and data communications even with occupants wearing gloves. Chelton's modular VIS architecture adapts to light utility vehicles up to heavy armour and command centres, ensuring secure in-vehicle comms across a wide range of platforms.

Beyond vehicle-mounted gear, Chelton's land solutions include durable ground antennas and specialized detection radar. The Ground & Building Antennas line uses proven, rugged materials so installations – temporary, semi-permanent or permanent – will survive extreme environments. This range covers HF, VHF and UHF ground antennas as well as high-gain directional parabolic dishes for long-haul links. Combined with Chelton's lightweight masts, these ground antennas let forces quickly erect a reliable communications network wherever needed.

In the EOD domain, Chelton antennas design heritage to ground-penetrating radar. The company's Explosive Ordnance Detection (EOD) systems use advanced radar antennas to locate buried IEDs and mines. As Chelton notes, their EOD radar "offers unmatched precision for ground and subterranean threats". The detectors are backed by in-house live testing facilities and virtual-reality training support, ensuring operators can deploy them effectively. These innovations in ground radar exemplify Chelton's expertise in defence-grade communications and sensing technology, safeguarding troops from hidden dangers.

Chelton's land portfolio also extends into aviation support and specialized microwave products. The Air Traffic Management Systems cater to both civil and military airfields. Chelton's ATM products – such as the RDSControl radar display – give controllers advanced tools (new 4K displays, safety nets, glideslope monitoring, windfarm mitigation, etc.). These systems are deployed worldwide to protect national airspace and even operate aboard the Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth-class carriers. By porting land-based ATC software to sea, Chelton ensures pilots and controllers enjoy seamless operations whether ashore or afloat.

On the antenna front, Chelton's Newmarket (formerly European Antennas) facility is a center of excellence for microwave antennas. With over 25 years of experience, the Newmarket team maintains nearly 2,500 standard antenna designs and can develop bespoke solutions as needed. The product line includes high-gain omni-directional antennas, ultra-wideband directional arrays, multi-octave bicones and collinear arrays. These microwave antennas support high-capacity communications and data links in land environments, ranging from fixed base stations to tactical vehicle comms. Chelton's design and manufacturing capabilities enable cost-effective prototyping through high-volume production, satisfying both commercial and military demand.
