Everlast Networks has made available its Quantum Safe Communication Security ‘EverGuard’ platform to a major UAS research lab in Queensland, Australia, to conduct testing and evaluation as evidence of its suitability and performance in the UAS application space.
“This presents Everlast Networks with a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our near-zero latency, heavily encrypted data in transit in a real-world environment, where communication security for command and control over available networks is necessary. Everlast is confident we can deliver this using automatic handover with RF and satcom connectivity”
Everlast Networks will be cooperatively demonstrating low-latency secure control, HD video streaming, and payload control. Connections will be tested against interception and allow for loss-less handover from RF control to Satellite when out of range, overseas, or when directed RF jamming occurs, allowing for continued UAS operation.
To demonstrate flight testing and operability, Everlast will integrate StarLink connectivity on a large UAS platform designed for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLoS) operation and long endurance.
Once concluded, Everlast states it will publish its findings and results.
