Mobilicom and Airbus complete successful integration and flight proof-of-concept on Airbus Mid-Sized Jet-UAV for long-range operations


  • Mobilicom has expanded its offering and total addressable market (TAM) beyond small-sized drones into the mid-sized uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) market with its newly released MCU-70 & MCU-300 products
  • Major milestone delivering live HD video and broadband data from high-speed jet UAV over long range operations up to 100 km

Shoham, Israel, April 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Mobilicom Limited (Nasdaq: MOB, MOBBW), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced that in collaboration with Airbus, it has successfully completed the flight proof-of-concept for high-speed jet UAV-to-ground livestreaming of high-definition (HD) video and broadband data. Mobilicom’s cybersecure long-range, high-speed communications systems were successfully integrated into Airbus’ Do-DT25 UAV, one of the top performing target drones in the world.

Mobilicom’s newly released MCU-70 aerial unit was installed on the Airbus jet UAV high-speed long-distance drone, which communicated with Mobilicom’s new MCU-300 ground unit under highly rigorous conditions, including complex high-speed maneuvers at up to 150 meters/second as far as 100 kilometers from the base station. Live, high-speed video has now been made possible by Mobilicom’s MCU-70 aerial unit and can enhance a drone’s performance and accuracy by providing real-time decision support data for human ground crews and digital processing systems.

The Mobilicom MCU-equipped Airbus Target Drones are designed to be used for military training purposes in battle scenarios that simulate various environments with different payloads. Airbus’ Target Systems have been used to train armed forces worldwide in over 3,500 missions.

“We believe that this is an important milestone in Mobilicom’s expansion strategy as we grow our market into mid-sized drones and jet UAVs to serve our growing customer base. We have demonstrated our new systems’ robust capacity to communicate HD video and high-speed data at long range with Airbus, one of the largest aeronautics and space companies in Europe and a worldwide leader,” said Mobilicom CEO and Founder Oren Elkayam. “The proof of concept marks a significant step forward in our end-to-end offering supporting our customers across mini, small and mid-sized platforms, including MESH networking solution for fleet and SWARM operations.”
