Creomagic has partnered with RT LTA to develop SkyCnet, a fully-integrated tactical aerostat and communications system, for high-performance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in diverse environments.

Creomagic Partnership Delivers Integrated Aerostat and Communication System

SkyCnet provides beyond-line-of-sight-operations over remote areas, deliver seamless intelligence sharing across devices, and bring reliable connectivity with secure, real-time voice, video, and data transmissions.

The system enhances situational awareness to support mission-critical decisions, with its rapid deployment allowing for quick setup and operational readiness across diverse, harsh environments.

SkyCnet integrates Creomagic’s communication solutions, using reoNet, its Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology, to establish secure Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs).

These networks are designed for tactical and mission-critical operations across unmanned platforms, including aerial systems, such as UAVs, ground vehicles, maritime assets, and personal communication units.

SkyCnet also incorporates RT LTA’s Skystar™ aerostat systems, which are long-endurance, lighter-than-air, compact ISR platforms, operating both day and night.

These aerostats function with a small crew, withstand harsh weather conditions, and reach altitudes of up to 1,500 feet. They are capable of carrying different types of payloads while maintaining low operating costs.
