Application
Contested-spectrum operations
Communicating, navigating and flying where the radio environment is jammed, spoofed or simply absent.
The problem
Denying the spectrum is now cheap. A jammer the size of a briefcase removes satellite navigation and mobile coverage over a useful area, and a spoofer is worse, because it makes equipment confidently wrong instead of obviously broken. Anything that assumes a tower, a subscription or a clean satellite fix stops being usable exactly when it is needed.
How it runs
A typical deployment
- 01
Bring your own network
Mesh radio nodes form a self-healing network between the people carrying them. No tower, no subscription, no internet.
- 02
Keep the shared picture
Positions, messages and markers move across that mesh to every handset and to the command post, with maps already stored on the devices.
- 03
Fly without a fix
The navigation-denied aircraft holds position and flies its route on visual and inertial navigation, rejecting a satellite fix that disagrees with what it can see.
- 04
Detect the other side's aircraft
Radio-signature detection finds small unmanned aircraft by their control and video emissions, before they are visible or audible.
- 05
Deny in one direction only
Effects are aimed rather than broadcast, so the response does not take out your own network with the threat.
Systems used
What we would field
Coverage where there is none.
Rugged Mesh Radio Node
A pocket-sized long-range radio that forms a self-healing network with every other node in range, with no base station.
[MESH-NODE]
See your team. No network.
Tactical Awareness Application
Android and desktop application showing every team position, message and marker on one map, carried over mesh radio with no mobile network.
[C2-APP]
Fly without a fix.
Navigation-Denied UAV
Aircraft that keeps flying its mission when satellite navigation is jammed, spoofed or simply unavailable.
[NAV-DENIED]
Detect, track, defeat.
Counter-UAS System
Layered detection, classification and defeat of small unmanned aircraft, fixed or vehicle mounted.
