Bittium Tough SDR Unmanned™

Dedicated radio solution that integrates unmanned land, air and sea systems directly into a resilient tactical communications network.

Integrate unmanned land, air and sea systems directly into a resilient tactical communications network

Unmanned systems are now central to modern military operations for reconnaissance, logistics, force protection and strike support. Bittium Tough SDR Unmanned™ is a dedicated radio solution that integrates unmanned land, air and sea systems directly into a resilient tactical communications network. For the first time, drones, unmanned ground vehicles and other autonomous platforms can operate not just as remote tools but as active, connected nodes within the same battlefield IP network used by soldiers and commanders. It is also fully European sovereign solution.

The operational significance is substantial. Their communications have often been their weakest point: dependent on fragile point-to-point links, vulnerable to jamming and disconnected from the broader tactical network. Bittium Tough SDR Unmanned™ eliminates that vulnerability as it integrates unmanned systems into the common operational picture. This allows the commander to view drone sensor feeds within the same situational awareness display as the positions of infantry units.
