Operational Problem

THE CHALLENGE.

Ground-based tactical radios and networks are limited by line-of-sight and terrain, reducing range and reliability for mission communications, especially in complex or remote environments.

System Solution

THE EPIC APPROACH.

EPIC elevates tactical radios and networking equipment on a persistent airborne platform, extending range and reliability for mission communications, sensor networking, and video distribution.
