Assured PNT Solutions
Ground Control’s assured PNT (position, navigation and timing) products utilize resilient and cryptographically secure signals from LEO satellites, allowing defense forces to operate even in the face of GPS-denied conditions such as interference, jamming, and spoofing attacks.
This rugged self-contained unit is ideal for quick integration into UxVs, compact military equipment, and remote sensors, utilizing the Iridium PNT service to provide trusted and resilient location data under challenging GNSS-denied conditions.
Mission-Critical Military SATCOM Systems
RockSTAR handheld SATCOM units offer defense forces crucial beyond-line-of-sight messaging and tracking capabilities, without needing to rely on terrestrial networks or RF. The compact and lightweight devices provide secure communications virtually anywhere on Earth, and are ideal for special operations personnel, remote security patrols, and maritime boarding teams.
Offering truly global tracking and communication, this rugged waterproof device transmits regular position updates over Iridium, and also connects to Bluetooth-paired devices to relay short messages such as SMS and emails.
Provides ultra-reliable global encrypted paging through Iridium Burst, and is ideal for emergency and disaster management situations.
Resilient UxV Command & Control
Ground Control’s low-SWaP SATCOM terminals provide mission-critical real-time command, control and communications for military and tactical UAVs, UGVs and unmanned systems, ensuring mission success in contested battlefield environments.
A compact and lightweight Iridium Certus® 100 terminal that can be easily integrated into a range of tactical UAV platforms, and offers 22 kbps up / 88 kbps down for real-time C2, telemetry, and payload data transfer.
This ultra-light board-level Iridium Certus® 100 terminal connects directly to UxV mission computers, and is ideal as a primary C2 channel, or as a SATCOM failover capability in challenging communications environments.
Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD)-based satellite transceiver for simple missions and critical redundancy, providing small UxV with an ultracompact primary and backup C2 capability.
Iridium Messaging Transport (IMT)-based satellite transceiver for short bidirectional messaging, highly suited for small unmanned platforms and BVLOS contingency.
