As SOF continue to operate in remote and challenging environments, the need for reliable and secure communication systems remains crucial. SlingShot is the low Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) system designed to provide Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) Communications on the Move (COTM) for users of UHF and VHF tactical radios.
Problem
SOF communicators and commanders know firsthand the challenges of maintaining communication in remote and harsh environments at pace. Traditional communication systems are simply not viable in many situations, leaving teams vulnerable and isolated. Additionally, current solutions for BLOS communications are often too bulky and cumbersome for the needs of SOF teams, resulting in decreased mobility and flexibility.
Solution
SlingShot solves these communication challenges by providing low-latency voice and data connectivity to tactical radio networks. It integrates seamlessly with in-service U/VHF radios, allowing SOF to maintain reliable and secure communications.
