The challenge
Dismounted operators in contested environments require secure messaging, position reporting, emergency alerting and continuous situational awareness while minimizing RF exposure, battery consumption and carried weight.
- Loss of communications beyond radio line of sight.
- Limited visibility of personnel location and operational status.
- Need to reduce RF signature in contested environments.
- Strict size, weight and power constraints.
- High bandwidth consumption for continuous data exchange.
The HiSKY solution
HiSKY’s compact body-worn Ka-band node connects individual operators over a private GEO satellite network. Embedded Edge AI processes information locally and prioritizes the data transmitted. The solution supports messaging, position reporting, alerts and situational awareness while managing bandwidth and battery use.
- Compact, body-worn satellite connectivity.
- Private GEO network for communications beyond terrestrial coverage.
- Local Edge AI processing and data prioritization.
- Messaging, position reporting and emergency alerts in one integrated solution.
What the solution enables
Connectivity
Persistent BLOS SATCOM instead of RF line-of-sight dependence.
Awareness
Continuous operational awareness instead of intermittent updates.
Bandwidth
AI-filtered mission data instead of raw continuous transmission.
Operator burden
One integrated body-worn solution.
