New UAS Radio Launched for Secure GPS-Denied Communications

Rampart Communications has unveiled the Rampart StrataWave™ UAS Radio, engineered to operate without GPS and safeguard transmissions from jamming technologies.

Developed for both Group 3 and Group 2 uncrewed systems, the StrataWave UAS Radio overcomes traditional vulnerabilities by ensuring persistent, secure connectivity even in the most hostile environments. Unlike conventional radios, which rely on GPS and can be susceptible to jamming, StrataWave UAS radio prioritizes stealth, resilience, and survivability, allowing UAS operators to maintain unwavering command and control (C2) even under direct electronic attack.

Advantages of the StrataWave UAS Radio:

• GPS-Independent Communication: Immune to GPS jamming attacks, ensuring uninterrupted mission connectivity.
• Electronic Warfare (EW) Resilience: Low probability of detection (LPD) and anti-jam capabilities for enhanced survivability in contested environments.
• Proven Core Technology: Rampart’s physical layer technology is independently validated by over 10 technical and operational tests from top defense research institutions.

As the U.S. military and allied nations rapidly expand their drone operations, the StrataWave UAS Radio addresses a recognized need for resilient and secure battlefield communications. For defense leaders and warfighters, it is designed to maintain C2 even in GPS-jammed environments.

For drone manufacturers and system integrators, the StrataWave UAS Radio offers seamless integration and unique signature reduction capabilities, reducing the likelihood of drone identification or fingerprinting.

Matt Ball, Chief Executive Officer at Rampart Communications, commented, “Electronic Warfare is disarming battlefield drones at alarming rates, creating an urgent need for next-generation connectivity. StrataWave UAS is the first drone radio built to survive the most hostile electronic warfare—enabling mission-critical drones to stay connected and operational when adversaries attempt to disable them with sophisticated EW systems.”
