The Next Generation of Mission-Critical Communications Infrastructure is Here

The critical role of spectrum superiority in the success of battlefield campaigns is evidenced by the enormous investments being made in electronic warfare (EW) capabilities by governments worldwide. Communication technologies, such as 5G, are quickly being adopted by militaries in an attempt to satisfy the demand for exponentially larger amounts of data transmission in a shorter period of time. As quickly as secure communication strategies are being developed to encrypt mission critical data, so too are the technologies used to detect, decode, and disrupt such communications. The security and integrity of critical communications is of the utmost importance as the world progresses towards an increasingly networked theater of operations.

The militaries of the world appear to be in widespread agreement that the critical communication infrastructure of tomorrow's battlefields need to be:

Rapidly deployable and reconfigurable for mission readiness.

Designed for minimal spectral footprint to minimize risk of detection.

Secure against spectral manipulation tactics and immune to remote disruption.

Ruggedized to survive harsh environment deployment, but small enough in form factor to enable maximum mobility.

Open-source and future-proof to enable the seamless integration of next-generation systems and technologies.
