Best-in-class defense radio systems are considered “too good”, too special, and too sensitive for use on uncrewed vehicles as they may expose their abilities or fall into the wrong hands.

In response to low-cost improvisations by terror organizations, militaries turn to the commercial industry for quick and innovative solutions.
The need for a reliable, NLOS connectivity solution in the commercial market, has driven advancements in radio technology and the mission CONOPS. The commercial UAS industry, particularly with BVLOS operations, requires the highest level of “connection confidence” – achieved through redundancy, high availability, scalability, and security.
