Use Cases

Reliable Comms for Armed USVs

In modern military operations, reliable and uninterrupted communication between Armed Unmanned Surface Vehicles (AUSVs) and the headquarters is crucial for mission success. Continuous data and video transmission from AUSVS ensures that operators can monitor and control the vehicles effectively, executing commands as needed. However, AUSVS that rely on a single communication system often face a significant loss of capability when they move beyond the range of direct communication with the control center, resulting in operational limitations.

SATCOM for Maritime Border Security with USVs

Deployment of broadband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) on Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) to enhance maritime border security and combat illegal activities such as human trafficking, arms smuggling, and drug transportation. Focus is placed on achieving persistent, wide-area coverage and enhanced operational security.

Military Operations

Manned and unmanned surface vehicles can be used in military operations for tasks such as mine-sweeping, reconnaissance, and intelligence gathering.

Environmental Monitoring

Manned and unmanned surface vehicles equipped with environmental sensors can be used to monitor water quality, pollution levels, and weather conditions.
