The T-4000 High Gain Antenna is an electronically steered phased array system that exhibits superior performance characteristics. The T-4000 system fully supports all forms of data and voice communications over the INMARSAT satellite network. The T-4000 HGA consists of five primary assemblies including an electronically steered phased array, a beam steering unit (BSU), a LNA/Diplexer, a radome, and a base plate which provides a mating interface to the airframe.

As the world's leading airlifter, the C-17 can carry large combat equipment and troops or humanitarian aid across international distances directly to small austere airfields anywhere in the world. Nearly 120 C-17s are in operation today, flown by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Air National Guard and the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force. Boeing is on a multi-year procurement contract to design, build and deliver 180 C-17s through at least 2008.
