Abstract

A light antenna mast group (LAMG) provides antenna masts coupled to a vehicle cap structure which is disposed on the top of a light truck, which in one embodiment can be a high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV). The vehicle cap structure includes antenna mast deployment mechanisms, hinged rotator assemblies, an antenna storage system, and a plurality of spring loaded guide wire spools, all adapted to make deployment of the antenna masts rapid and simple.
