Elsight’s Halo OEM is a compact, low-SWaP mission enablement module designed to provide secure, resilient communications for military UAVs, UGVs, and autonomous robotic platforms. Supporting beyond and non-line-of-sight (BVLOS/NLOS) operations, Halo combines multiple LTE/5G cellular, satellite, and RF communication links into a single secure connection for reliable command and control (C2), ISR video transmission, and telemetry.
Powered by Elsight’s proprietary intelligent multilink bonding technology, Halo utilizes multiple available networks simultaneously, dynamically distributing traffic to maintain mission-critical connectivity when individual links experience interference, congestion, or signal degradation. AI-powered network pre-cognition and configurable Quality of Service (QoS) further optimize communications by anticipating changes in network performance and prioritizing critical C2 data.
The module incorporates advanced cybersecurity features, including AES-256-CBC encryption, data fragmentation, and a double-VPN architecture to protect sensitive mission information. Remote monitoring, configuration, and secure over-the-air firmware updates support deployed systems throughout their operational lifecycle.
Weighing just 93 grams and consuming an average of 6.5 W, Halo OEM integrates into tactical unmanned platforms through Ethernet, USB, and serial interfaces, with native MAVLink support and open APIs for interoperability with existing C4ISR architectures. The NDAA-compliant module is also listed as a component on the U.S. DCMA Blue UAS Cleared List.
Military & Defense
Halo OEM supports mission-critical military applications, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), tactical logistics, remote sensing, and unmanned communications relay operations.
By intelligently bonding available communication networks, the module helps maintain secure C2, live video, and telemetry across extended operating distances and in communications-degraded environments. Its low-SWaP design makes it suitable for integration into compact tactical UAVs, UGVs, and other unmanned platforms without significantly impacting payload capacity or power consumption.
Elsight’s expanding mission enablement capabilities also include cellular-based GNSS-independent positioning, providing an additional source of location information when satellite navigation signals are unavailable or unreliable.
Homeland Security, Public Safety & DFR
Halo OEM provides resilient communications for homeland security, law enforcement, and Drone as First Responder (DFR) operations, supporting border surveillance, search and rescue, emergency response, and remote monitoring.
The module enables secure transmission of live video, telemetry, and C2 data across changing network conditions, helping operators maintain situational awareness during time-critical missions. Its multilink connectivity and remote management capabilities support reliable deployment across urban, rural, and remote operational environments.
