How Silvus Is Connecting Soldiers and Systems Across the Battlefield

One of the key aspects in today's battle space is being able to sense and see yourself and sense and see the enemy threat

And when I was a brigade commander in Iraq, we had very limited access to comms

We had Singar's radios. We had some limited access to SAT, COMM, and very little access to Blue Force Tracker

As you fast forward today and you look at what the Army is doing with the next generation command and control

and the focus and the shift to data as the primacy for operating in the spectrum

that's a major shift from the past to what soldiers have to do today. One of the key aspects in today's battle space is being able to sense and see yourself and sense and see the enemy threat

We have a product and a product line called RFI, which enables the operator to both locate the threats and then identify friend or foe and then actually geolocate where the specific threat is coming from

And that plays to both us seeing ourselves and us also seeing the threat forces and the threat electromagnetic spectrum effort

Yeah, you have to be able to operate in multiple different layers. and think of in terms of having an ecosystem of communication systems

that can operate at the high level, but also at the mid-tier level

all the way down to the edge in the soldier. And if you think of what we have here with Nexus

and the small embedded radio that is an example of where we come from and where we are today And to be able to have that distributed across the formation is something unique in the direction

that the Army is going. Think of it in terms of having a full suite, an ecosystem of communication

systems from the sensing piece that I mentioned previously to the connect piece where we have

multiple different radio capabilities within the same family in the same ecosystem

So you could have a handheld or string cast of 4200 radio, for example

that the troop carriers or the soldier carriers. You also have embedded OEMs

If you look back up at our UASs here, Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 UASs

we have embedded modules that provide good data throughput. The swap is very light and is able to be vertically inserted in some of these vertical platforms

but also distributed along the front line, if you will, with troops both in the man-pack

the handheld, and vehicle-mounted communication systems. Silvas, for example, has spectrum dominance 2.0

We take a layered approach to EW defense, and if you think of it as our core waveform

as a center of the layered defense. The outer layers of that start with low probability of detection

low probability of interception. And then as you get closer into the central waveform

and the central part of our EWU defense, we have anti-jam capabilities

and we also have advanced threat protection capabilities
