Mobilicom’s SkyHopper PRO & PRO Lite added to the DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit

Mobilicom (MOB) announced that following rigorous testing and evaluation, the U.S. Department of Defense, or DoD’s, Defense Innovation Unit has approved and added the company’s SkyHopper PRO and SkyHopper PRO Lite datalinks to the Blue UAS Framework. The Blue UAS Framework was established by the DIU to rapidly vet and scale commercial UAS technology for the DoD. The program tests, selects, and maintains a roster of NDAA-compliant, policy-approved UAS components and software that meet the standards of the DoD and its Programs of Record as well as serving the needs of industry, federal, state, and local governments. The framework provides a short list of approved vendors with advanced capabilities to Blue UAS developers, thereby reducing risk for government customers. The SkyHopper PRO is a high-performance cognitive software defined radio for aerial and ground platforms. SkyHopper PRO Lite is a compact cognitive SDR optimized for aerial drones and smaller robotics.
