Aerial platforms, both manned and unmanned, are a vital part of modern security force structures. Whether providing silent, stealthy reconnaissance, or by extending enforcement to the most remote regions, aerial assets provide unparalleled opportunities for observation and intervention denied traditional ground-based assets. Of particular significance for deep operations, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are an important and growing component in the asset portfolios of many military and governmental agencies. UAVs combine many of the advantages of intelligence gathering satellites, such as loiter ability and mission endurance, with the added flexibility and adaptability of a human-controlled stealthy mobile aerial platform. Their use allows the performance of hazardous missions without risking a highly-trained pilot, and a wide range of additional options only made possible by using small, stealthy vehicles freed from the requirement of supporting a human operator.

The timely availability of information is again key to the successful use of any airborne assets. Assets performing deep operations in particular do not have the benefits of significant infrastructure, and reliance on traditional line-of-sight communications leads to a need to have operators and ground stations in-theater (exposing them to significant risks), or to accepting severe limitations to operational range or information content. Supporting deep operations requires a shift away from these limitations, to adopting Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications solutions.

Satellite communications is naturally preeminent among BLOS solutions, but current systems suffer from multiple bottlenecks: terminals are too large or require too much power, preventing integration onto some of the most advanced small UAV platforms in particular; or satellite coverage is not available in the geographic area required, when it is required. The OverHorizon™ Advantage completely revises this situation, enabling significantly smaller profile terminals well suited to integration onto even the smallest UAV platforms, without significantly impacting performance parameters such as aerodynamics or stealthing. Extend Your Reach to smaller, more agile platforms, Boost Your Bandwith to current assets. Unlike any other service offering today, OverHorizon's On The Move terminals are specifically focused on providing maximum performance to small, highly mobile assets, giving you true broadband BLOS operational capability. We allow your UAV data to be available and executed upon, in theatre, without delay.
