DEMONSTRATING BEYOND VISUAL LINE OF SIGHT OPERATIONS

The ability to safely operate an unmanned system over extended distances will provide industries such as rail, oil and gas, agriculture, and utilities significant economic benefits when performing inspections, surveillance and monitoring. Working with partners, Ligado has demonstrated:

• Command and control functionality for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) over long distance and difficult terrain;

• Combined terrestrial and satellite interoperability, providing command and control redundancy;

• Enhanced connectivity and reliability enabled through Ligado’s L-Band spectrum;

• The ability to deliver bandwidth-intensive payloads in real time over licensed spectrum.

By leveraging our pervasive coverage in North America, Ligado’s SkyTerra 1 satellite network will ensure that unmanned systems can be operated safely, securely and reliably for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. From aerial and marine vehicles to self-driving cars and trucks, unmanned systems will play a significant role in transforming business-critical operations in the industrial sector.

Whether on land, sea or air, unmanned systems hold the promise of widespread commercial adoption in the coming years. Ligado Networks is demonstrating these new capabilities today with several industry use cases.
