Mobilicom Limited, a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, has launched the MCU-300 cybersecure software defined radio (SDR).

Cybersecure Mesh Networking Solution for Long-Range Uncrewed Communications

The ruggedized unit, which boasts a stronger amplifier than prior generation products, works together with Mobilicom’s MCU mesh networking aerial products to deliver high-performance cybersecure mobile mesh wireless IP networking, high-definition video and data for mid-sized, long-range uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The MCU-300 expands the coverage distance up to 100 miles while fortifying stability, resilience, and durability.

Commercial & Military Applications
The MCU-300’s long-range, broadband signal enables the communications required for both commercial and military uncrewed missions. When paired with Mobilicom’s MCU-70 the MCU-300 specifically addresses the rapidly growing mid-sized long-range drone segment.

  • Military applications include: fixed-wing and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAVs for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions such as border, coastal and maritime patrol, and loitering drones.
  • Commercial uses include: beyond-line-of-sight (BVLOS) long-range inspection flights, such as the inspection of electric utility transmission lines, oil and gas pipelines, and railways, as well as long-range delivery functions.

ICE Cybersecurity
Equipped with Mobilicom’s industry-leading security software, MCU-300’s networked hardware and software systems can be layered with the ICE Cybersecurity suite for a comprehensive and holistic protection strategy.

A result of our commitment to continuous innovation and leadership in cybersecure SDR for drones and robotics, the ruggedized MCU-300, in conjunction with our aerial units, including our most recently launched MCU-70, expand our offering from short to mid to long range platforms.” explained Mobilicom CEO and Founder Oren Elkayam.

“Our field-proven MCU product family has been integrated into uncrewed ground, aerial and maritime platforms by numerous manufacturers, building our well-established track record of success across a wide range of use cases”.

The MCU-300, like the rest of the MCU product line, is U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliant.
