Smith Myers Communications Ltd. has outlined plans to make its ARTEMIS airborne cellular detection and geolocation system available in a Modular Payload compliant configuration.
The planned version will support plug-and-play integration with compatible unmanned aerial vehicles and other unmanned systems, reducing the integration effort required across compatible platforms.
The configuration is designed to align with the Modular Payload standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. The standard is intended to promote interoperability, flexibility, and rapid technology integration across defense systems.
The approach is expected to enable ARTEMIS to be deployed on a wider range of compatible platforms with minimal integration effort.
The expanded deployment options are intended to support defense, security, emergency response, and search-and-rescue organizations using cellular detection and geolocation technology. The capability can help operators extend operational reach, improve situational awareness, and reduce risk to personnel in hazardous, remote, or otherwise inaccessible environments.
Andrew Munro, Managing Director of Smith Myers Communications, commented, “Providing ARTEMIS in a Modular Payload compliant configuration will significantly broaden the ways organizations can deploy this critical capability. Operators will be able to integrate ARTEMIS more quickly and cost-effectively across a wider range of platforms, accelerating deployment while benefiting from the system’s proven ability to detect and geolocate mobile devices in support of mission-critical operations.”
Smith Myers said the planned offering reflects its continued focus on interoperable, mission-ready technologies designed to help organizations locate people more quickly, make more informed decisions, and conduct operations more safely and effectively.
The company describes itself as the world’s first provider of a fully airborne-qualified Mobile Phone Detection and Location System.
