Battle-tested
UAV communications

Video, telemetry and control links for contested RF environments

  • Ukraine-proven
  • Modular
  • EU-made
01 · Mission reality

The mission depends on the link

Video, control and telemetry must work together — across distance, interference and the constraints of your aircraft

Airframe, control station and RF environment form one mission system
01 / Resilience

Keep the link

Maintain communications as jamming and RF conditions change

02 / Range

Reach the mission

Match the link budget to the aircraft, antennas and operating distance

03 / Integration

Fit the platform

Connect power, flight control and payload through a coordinated architecture

What the numbers mean

  • Range depends on antenna placement, link budget, altitude and RF environment
  • SkyComm optimizes the complete communications configuration — not only the modem
  • Pilot testing validates performance on the customer’s own platform

50 km was measured by SkyComm on a proving ground. 125 km is reported by operators from frontline use and has not been measured by SkyComm. *200 km is calculated system potential, not a demonstrated result. Receiver sensitivity is a laboratory measurement
