Mobilicom, a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, has announced it has become a member of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and the Fortress Information Security’s Trusted Cyber Program.
The Cybersecurity Working Group is developing enterprise cybersecurity standards to address cyber risks specific to uncrewed systems and robotics. Mobilicom joins as a contributing member of the group comprised of leading defense, drone, and cybersecurity companies including Boeing, Boston Dynamics, Northrup Grumman, and Raytheon.
AUVSI is the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of uncrewed systems – maritime, land robotics, and drones. Cybersecurity Working Group will present group standardization results at AUVSI’s Xponential Conference in May 2023 in Denver, Colorado.
Mobilicom’s ICE Cybersecurity Suite is one of the company’s flagship solutions and is the world’s first AI-based 360° software cybersecurity system for small-sized drones, robotics, and autonomous platforms.
The AUVSI Cybersecurity Working Group, dedicated to promoting the safe and secure deployment of uncrewed systems, is targeting the release of baseline industry standards as early as May 2023. This will provide a critical foundation for the deployment of uncrewed vehicles in a secure and safe manner.
As one of the veteran vendors in the uncrewed industry for defense applications, Mobilicom brings extensive field-proven experience to the working group. The company’s expertise will be valuable in helping to bring the criteria down to practical implementation, ensuring that the standard baseline is both relevant and useful to industry stakeholders.
“We are proud to join the AUVSI Cybersecurity Trusted Working Group as a contributing member,” said Mobilicom CEO Oren Elkayam. “Over the past two years, Mobilicom has pioneered cybersecurity world-firsts in uncrewed small-sized drones and robotics through our unmatched innovation. We believe it is essential that industry leaders collaborate to establish strong cybersecurity standards for the uncrewed and autonomous sectors. Mobilicom is committed to ensuring that our customers can safely and securely deploy uncrewed vehicles for their missions.”
AUVSI’s Michael Robbins, Executive Vice President, Government & Public Affairs, commented, “The industry is at a turning point where uncrewed systems solutions are readily available to the market today for applications ranging from military to commercial. As market adoption is set to take off, a cyber-secure foundation, built on universal industry standards among industry stakeholders and suppliers will help to ensure the economic and operational potential of uncrewed vehicles is reached. We are very pleased to have Mobilicom join the Cybersecurity Working Group.”
