Slingshot in Defence

SlingShot uses commercial satellites to extend the range of in-service UHF and VHF tactical radios over 1000s of miles.

A winner of the Queens Award For Enterprise: Innovation, SlingShot is in operation across four continents. It is used in a variety of scenarios, with users ranging from Special Forces to Emergency Responders.

Applications

SlingShot provides BLOS COTM on all platforms, without pausing

Long range unified communications network: By creating a single, secure, L-Band network, SlingShot enables inter-agency and coalition operations to communicate, irrespective of the radios they are equipped with. Such capability makes peace-keeping, anti-piracy, disaster relief and major event support easier, cheaper and more effective.
COMSEC in RF noisy environments: Maintain communications with COMSEC in RF noisy environments; provide single hop links over 1000s km with Secure Voice over L-Band satellite with Crypto pass-through.
Long range data communications and Artillery Fire-Planning: Low power solution for data, mitigating the effects of terrain, noise and distance. Transfer files and email to and from deployed assets over wider area deployments with speed and accuracy. Enabling new potential for multi-national fire plan synchronisation, as well as delivering greater security to deployed assets
Blue Force and Friendly tracking: This low power solution for text and tracking mitigates the effects of terrain, noise and distance. So users can track Blue Force, Friendly force and deployed assets over increased ranges, enabling greater security for all.
