Mobilicom to Supply Datalink Systems to Major U.S. Drone Manufacturer

Mobilicom, an Israeli provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, announced that it has received a $500,000 follow-on order from one of the largest U.S. drone manufacturers of “small-sized” drones to equip its drones with Mobilicom’s SkyHopper PRO datalink.

While Mobilicom has not disclosed the customer's name, the company indicated that this defense manufacturer has over $5 billion in annual sales and its drones are sold to end-users in the U.S. defense market, including the U.S. Department of Defense.

Mobilicom says that the company's SkyHopper PRO datalink was chosen over four other competing products following intensive field testing. SkyHopper PRO is a Secured Cognitive Software Defined Radio (SDR) with enhanced combat-proven performance, including in harsh environments. It offers what the company believes to be the best performance-to-SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) in the market, based on an internal study of competitor product offerings.

“This order is expected to be followed up with larger orders as this drone manufacturer continues to successfully compete and win government tenders for thousands of its drones,” stated Mobilicom CEO and Founder Oren Elkayam.

Mobilicom highlights that the global drone datalink system market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25% and reach approximately $18 billion by 2030.
