Developers of military airborne projects may have found secure, reliable communications solutions from Creomagic Ltd. (Ness Ziona, Israel) at the recent Loitering Munitions Conference (Nov. 19-20, London, UK). The firm unveiled its innovative Creo-ADL communications system for mission-critical applications, such as in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) where reduced size, weight, and power as well as low cost (SWaP-C) are vital.
Based on cognitive software-defined-radio (SDR) technology, the Creo-ADL system offers communication security (COMSEC) and transmission security (TRANSEC) for secure and resilient communications. Using AES-256 encryption, frequency hopping, and continuous spectrum scanning, the system delivers high data rates with low latency even in hostile operating environments. In addition, it provides RF-based positioning information for navigation in GPS-denied environments for protection against electronic-warfare (EW) threats.
As Creomagic CEO Alex Shapochnik, explains, “Creo-ADL’s operationally proven solutions include a variety of tailored configurations to meet the needs of diverse mission types, from the most basic SWaP-C solutions to advanced operational units fully verified to military standards (MIL-STD).”
Regarding the system, he adds, “Our ground stations span the scope of short-range missions right up to complex dual-tracking systems for medium and long range. Designed for multi-platform, scalable applications, and supporting a wide range of communication protocols and interfaces, our versatile core technology, CreoNet, represents a one-step solution for a variety of deployment scenarios.”
The Creo-ADL system (see image above) serves applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and tactical radios for first responders and special forces troops. It continues to evolve as Creomagic works with customers/partners on supporting multi-platform operations with encrypted, adaptive video compression that dynamically adjusts to hostile environments, including battling jammers and EW threats.
