Overhead Communications

Enhance your capability. Extend your range. Evolve your solution.

Military

Whether it is point defense or remote area communications the war fighters need to have timely information. In an isolated or low infrastructure environment, how do you get the critical information to the war fighter without an over dependence on satellite? The modern battlefield can move quickly and demands access to high fidelity digital information. Unfortunately, the battlefield will probably not have an existing, secured fiber-optic network.

The Bluestream™ Communications Network with Blueview™ Remote Sensing provides the necessary bridge for the war fighters' "digital divide." By providing a high performance aerostat, easily interchangeable payloads, NSA approved classified communications switching and persistent location remote sensing, the necessary secure, interoperable wireless network can be rapidly deployed and operated.

With multiple system deployments an entire secured and digital mesh network can be erected over extremely large isolated areas. These systems can provide secure, interoperable communications and wireless data transfer to, from and across the front lines.

Our solution also includes high performance equipment you can't get in an integrated solution anywhere else. Our integrated aerostat system features a lifting body design and can operate in 70 mph winds with only minimal loss of coverage. Our integrated IP based switching system has the only NSA, PL-4 approval for classified communications switching, providing you the secure and assured communications you demand.
