NewSpace Research and Technologies has successfully tested a #long #range #SatCom link for Command, Control, Communication, Computing & Intelligence #C4I functions of a #Drone #Swarm. Features demonstrated in this #pioneering #mission - Beyond line of sight #BLOS connectivity between a drone swarm connected to #satellite #communication network & #remote ground control station #GCS. The SatCom network provides assured connectivity over all parts of the globe (except the poles). The mission was carried out at Ladakh at 4200m altitude. The mission was planned, executed and monitored from #NRT HQ in Bengaluru (which is more than 3000 km away). Seamless communication was available throughout the mission with #telemetry & #payload #data from the swarm. Minimal #latency was observed in the network This demonstration paves the way for remote #BLOS operations for drone swarms across the length & breath of India; improves #mission #resilience in #contested #environments. Multiple #users at various locations can benefit from this #cuttingedge solution which leverages #encrypted #SatCom links, helping close the #OODA response time much faster. The capability will boost NRT's Next Generation Missions & Technologies #NGMT initiative.
