The Halo connectivity platform by Elsight is now certified on the U.S. Government’s Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Blue UAS List, facilitating fast-tracked procurement for military and defense applications.
This inclusion confirms that the Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) platform meets rigorous supply-chain integrity and cybersecurity requirements stipulated by the U.S. Department of War (DoW). As a vetted technology on the Blue UAS List, a step beyond standard NDAA compliance, Halo is now available via the DCMA acquisition marketplace, allowing military units to bypass traditional, lengthy government acquisition cycles. The certification also supports FCC authorization and ensures eligibility for structured, long-term defense Programs of Record.
The Blue UAS List, managed under the US-X program, serves as a centralized directory for approved, NDAA-compliant components. For Elsight, a global leader in carrier-agnostic, multi-link connectivity for unmanned systems, this status positions Halo as a leading solution for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) that require high operational reliability, including participants in U.S. drone initiatives such as the Drone Dominance program. The platform is designed to deliver persistent connectivity even in mission-critical environments where Electronic Warfare (EW) may be present.
Yoav Amitai, CEO of Elsight, commented, “The Blue UAS List milestone is a powerful validation of Halo’s ability to provide resilient and secure connectivity for mission-critical operations in EW environments, qualifying as an optimal fit for the U.S. DoW’s stringent requirements. We look forward to supporting the UAV manufacturers in the Drone Dominance program and others on the Blue List with the resilient connectivity required by the evolution of the modern battlefield.”
Halo utilizes multi-link bonding technology to aggregate various communication channels, including cellular, satellite, and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and MANET, into a single, resilient data stream. This approach enables uninterrupted command and control alongside high-throughput data transmission. By maintaining a constant connection, the platform supports unmanned systems operating beyond the visual line of sight in challenging or contested geographical areas.
