As the global defense industry converges at the Defense Exhibition Athens (DEFEA) from May 6-8, 2025, one name is bound to turn heads across allied and coalition command structures alike: Elsight. In Hall 1, Booth C31, Elsight is showcasing the next generation of mission-critical connectivity technology, purpose-built for the evolving demands of modern warfare—particularly in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).
In a rapidly transforming battlespace defined by multi-domain operations, low-latency data transport, and beyond-line-of-sight control, Elsight’s Halo connectivity platform represents the backbone of reliable, secure, and redundant communications. With global militaries ramping up integration of autonomous and semi-autonomous platforms, Elsight stands as the communications linchpin for unmanned superiority.

Operational Readiness of Unmanned Systems in the Age of Autonomy
Unmanned systems are no longer “future capabilities.” They are the battle-proven assets transforming ISR, logistics, and tactical engagement strategies worldwide. But the leap from platform innovation to real-world mission success hinges on one pivotal factor: assured connectivity.
Elsight’s Halo delivers just that, multi-link, multi-SIM, remotely monitored communication that guarantees fail-safe, always-on connectivity, even in comms-denied environments. For any UAS or UGV mission profile, Halo acts as a force multiplier, ensuring command, control, and real-time video/data transmission remain intact across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Military-Grade Technology, Battlefield-Tested
Whether deployed in deserts, forests, mountain ranges, or dense cities, Halo operates under fire, literally and figuratively.
Key Tactical Advantages:
Multi-network redundancy for uninterrupted control even during a link failure.
Ultra-low latency: Enables real-time video, telemetry, and control with virtually zero delay.
Compact SWaP footprint: Minimal size, weight, and power draw ideal for mobile platforms.
Cybersecure transmission: Encrypted against interception and spoofing.
For UGVs: Dominate the Terrain
As robotic combat vehicles and logistics convoys become more autonomous, real-time navigation, situational awareness, and coordinated platooning demand zero-failure connectivity.
Halo enables UGVs to operate beyond line-of-sight, with video and real-time command maintained over cellular, SATCOM, or mesh network backhauls.
For UAVs: Rule the Sky
As UAS evolve from ISR roles into strike, logistics, and swarm deployments, connectivity cannot be a “nice to have, it’s mission critical. These advanced operations demand unwavering real-time data exchange for navigation, payload coordination, and autonomous decision-making. Whether operating individually or as part of a synchronized fleet, UAVs require secure, low-latency communication across multiple networks to ensure successful mission execution—especially in contested or communications-denied environments. Halo delivers this level of operational assurance, empowering UAVs to perform complex missions with confidence and continuity.
Halo’s multi-SIM: Resilient, Secure, Mission-Critical
Halo’s multi-SIM, carrier-agnostic design eliminates single points of failure. It’s already trusted in defense programs globally, embedded in both NATO-aligned and allied forces’ unmanned programs.

FAQs
1. What is the Halo platform, and what capabilities does it provide for UAS/UGV missions?
Halo is a multilink connectivity platform designed for unmanned and autonomous systems operating in complex, contested environments. It provides resilient command and control, telemetry, video, and mission data transmission for UAVs, UGVs, and other autonomous platforms, supporting ISR, logistics, force protection, border security, and tactical operations.
2. How does Halo maintain resilient, low-latency connectivity in contested or communications-denied environments?
Halo aggregates and intelligently manages multiple communication links, including LTE, 5G, SATCOM, RF, mesh, Wi-Fi, and multi-carrier cellular networks. The platform continuously monitors link quality and dynamically routes traffic across the best available paths, providing automatic failover, improved resilience, and uninterrupted communications when individual networks are degraded, jammed, or unavailable.
3. Which platforms and autonomy stacks does Halo support, and how difficult is integration?
Halo is designed with low SWaP requirements and supports integration with a wide range of UAVs, UGVs, mission computers, autopilots, and autonomy platforms. The system supports standard Ethernet, UART, and serial interfaces, enabling straightforward integration with existing command and control systems, payloads, and autonomous software environments.
4. What security, ruggedization, and military certifications does Halo meet?
Halo supports AES-256-CBC encryption, VPN tunneling, multilink packet-level distribution, and secure communications architectures designed for mission-critical operations. The platform is ruggedized for field deployment, supports standards including FCC, CE, and MIL-STD-810H, and is listed on the DCMA Blue UAS Cleared List. Halo is also NDAA-ready and has been selected for multiple defense and government programs supporting secure BVLOS and autonomous operations.
5. How can I schedule a demo?
Organizations interested in evaluating Halo can also contact Elsight directly to arrange a private meeting, technical briefing, proof of concept, or integration discussion tailored to their operational needs.
