In addition to C band, what frequency does the VORTEX operate in?

The VORTEX (Variable Operational Range Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities) system operates in the S-band in addition to the C-band. The S-band provides enhanced signal transmission capabilities, which allows for effective radar and communication functions utilized by systems like the VORTEX.

This frequency range is particularly advantageous because it can support both the radar signals transmitted and the data links needed for command and control operations. Using the S-band in conjunction with the C-band allows for a broader operational bandwidth, enabling the system to carry out various missions, especially in dynamic and challenging environments.

The other frequency bands listed, such as L-band, UHF-band, and VHF-band, are utilized in other systems for different applications but do not apply to the VORTEX's operational specifications. The combination of S-band and C-band enhances the system's versatility and effectiveness in tactical scenarios.
