With the increasing development of national rocket and missile technology as conducted by LAPAN and PINDAD, as well as the need to control/monitor UAV navigation for various purposes, it is therefore the time for the development of ground station with automatic tracking ability. This research is a continuation of one year research conducted earlier on the implementation of automatic tracking platform to maintain continuous communication channel between ground station and moving objects such as rocket/UAV and research on the RX-420 rocket antenna conducted with LAPAN. In the second year, a tracking system has been implemented with microstrip-array based antenna multiband 900 MHz/2.4 GHz/S-band to support rocket/UAV tracking and telemetry communication, rocket/UAV control command and video transmission simultaneously. The tracking distance was also increased to 100 km. Moreover, in the second year of research, tracking algorithm is also improved to support multi-object tracking at greater distance of > 100 km. © 2013 IEEE.
