Defense & Tactical
Mission-Critical Connectivity From Home Base to the Tactical Edge.
Connect soldiers, sensors, vehicles, unmanned platforms and command with resilient video and data.
Market Summary
Built for the Platform and Mission Layer.
Defense and tactical networks operate across dismounted, vehicle, unmanned and command layers where mobility, spectrum conditions and platform constraints change by mission. The workflow must move actionable video and data across air, land and sea while remaining adaptable to new sensors, nodes and operating concepts.
What Wave Brings
Adapt the Architecture as the Mission Evolves.
Using DTC’s mission-ready communications framing, Wave’s RF video and IP Mesh building blocks support modular, SWaP-conscious integration from sensor to command. Self-forming, self-healing networking, compact transmitters, diversity reception and encode/decode infrastructure can be configured around the platform and mission rather than one fixed architecture. This supports faster adaptation as mission needs evolve.
