In a collaborative exercise, Elsight’s Halo connectivity platform has been combined with Lockheed Martin’s Indago 4 unmanned aerial system (UAS) to conduct beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights with extended reach.
Elsight’s Halo is an advanced communication system which seamlessly aggregates diverse IP links, including public cellular, private cellular, satellite, and SDR radio.
Maintaining uninterrupted connectivity in the harshest settings, the Halo system upgrades the Indago 4’s wireless dispersion capabilities to maintain communications across a variety of terrains, obstacles, and distances. The Halo ensures uninterrupted data flow for live video feeds and key telemetry data.
Elsight’s Halo enhances the Indago 4’s reliability for continuous connectivity and transmission of video and data to the command-and-control center. This is ideal for disaster response, surveillance, and remote inspections.
Roee Kashi, Co-founder and CTO of Elsight, commented, “We designed the Halo to provide real-time situational awareness in difficult defense and public safety scenarios.
“Ultimately, field commanders need to make strategic decisions at any moment and should have the widest ‘lens’ possible with all the critical information. Now with our integration, the Indago 4 becomes the ‘eyes’ of any commander and the control center.”
