Core Technology Differentiators

Autonomous Beam-Steering

Enables high-bandwidth C2 on-the-move (OTM) for mobile assets like ships, vehicles, and USVs, even in high sea states.

Resilient Troposcatter Backhaul

Provides the SATCOM-independent, low-latency, OTH backhaul link, ensuring your C2 survives in a contested environment.

Tactical Mesh Networking

Creates a self-healing "pod" for Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T), allowing all unmanned assets to share data and C2.

Mission-Specific Applications

Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO)

Enable ship-based commanders to control OTH USV/UAV 'pods' with real-time video and C2, even in a jammed, SATCOM-denied environment. Our autonomous antennas provide the critical link from the flagship to the unmanned swarm.

Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)

Connect mobile command posts (CPs) to forward units with a high-bandwidth, OTH link that can't be cut by SATCOM denial. Our C2 On-the-Move (OTM) capability ensures the commander is never out of the fight.

Expeditionary Advanced Base Ops (EABO)

Provide the high-throughput, low-latency C2 link for Marine Corps 'stand-in forces' on isolated expeditionary bases. Our low-SWaP, rapid-deploy shore terminals are the lifeline for a distributed, resilient force.

The Assured C2 Architecture

Our technology provides a layered, end-to-end solution, from the commander to the tactical edge.

Assured C2 Architecture Diagram Assured C2 Architecture Diagram – Detail

1. The C2 Node (Ship/Shore)

A rapidly-deployable BATS smart antenna pairs with a troposcatter radio to create the OTH link, all completely independent of satellite.

2. The OTH Link

A resilient, low-latency, high-bandwidth troposcatter beam bridges 70+ miles of open sea, bypassing any jamming or interference.

3. The Tactical "Pod"

A lightweight BATS OTM antenna on the "Gateway" USV receives the link and distributes data to the entire swarm via a tactical mesh network.

DoD-Validated Performance

Our solution was field-tested and validated during the 2024 "Silent Swarm" exercise as part of a formal DoD CRADA. The results are a "first for the DoD."
