Global adoption of drones across military, homeland security, public safety, search and rescue and commercial applications shows no sign of slowing down. This, in turn, is driving demand for more secure communications technologies to provide greater resilience to jamming and counter-drone technology.
To improve how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous systems and defense communication applications perform in the field, Peraso Inc. has launched a wireless millimeter wave (mmWave) communication module with jam-resistant technology.
Dubbed the PRM2145, the module operates in the 60 GHz mmWave spectrum. This allows the module to provide low-latency, gigabit-class communication that is secure and is light enough to be placed on these airborne platforms.
Peraso said the module enables command-and-control links, high-definition video transmission, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data transport. Additionally, the PRM2145 provides identification friend or foe (IFF) communications and drone-to-drone communications as well as enhanced resistance to interference and electronic jamming.
Peraso added the beamforming technology inside the PRM2145 creates highly directional links intended to be difficult to detect, intercept or disrupt.
"Autonomous systems are becoming an increasingly important component of modern defense, security, and commercial operations, creating significant demand for advanced communications solutions that can operate reliably in challenging radio frequency environments," said Ronald Glibbery, CEO of Peraso.
