U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit Adds Mobilicom’s SkyHopper PRO Micro to Blue UAS Framework
February 25 2025 - 6:00AM
Mobilicom Limited (
Nasdaq: MOB), a provider of
cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today
announced that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)’s Defense
Innovation Unit (DIU) has expanded the number of Mobilicom
datalinks approved and included in the Blue UAS Framework, with the
addition of SkyHopper PRO Micro.
The move follows the DIU’s recent approval of
the Company’s SkyHopper PRO and SkyHopper PRO Lite datalinks
for the Blue UAS Framework. This most recent expansion of
Mobilicom’s list of products in the Blue UAS Framework is expected
to further drive Mobilicom’s growing prominence as a trusted
provider of end-to-end solutions for top-tier OEMs of uncrewed
aerial systems (UASs) that sell to the DoD, America’s military
allies, and global commercial customers for industrial
applications.
“We are very proud of how rapidly our growing
slate of field-proven UAS solutions are being recognized,
evaluated, and approved by the DIU for the Blue UAS Framework,”
stated Mobilicom CEO and Founder Oren Elkayam. “We believe this is
a direct result of the performance, value, and security offered by
our systems, which today are critical components in UASs
manufactured by Tier-1 OEMs and used in the most challenging
environments globally.”
Mobilicom’s NDAA-compliant end-to-end hardware
and software solutions are currently integrated into drones and
robotics deployed in defense and commercial applications worldwide,
including in UASs procured by the U.S. DoD. Federal contractors are
required to abide by NDAA requirements, which prohibit the use of
equipment made in China.
The SkyHopper PRO Micro is an ultra-compact
cognitive software defined radio (SDR) designed for high-volume
production of loitering munitions, mini drones, and robotics. With
a small C-SWaP (cost, size, weight, and power), it offers reliable
communication for mission-critical applications, ensuring seamless
integration into lightweight and high-performance platforms.
All three Blue UAS-certified SkyHopper models
feature Mobilicom's ICE cybersecurity protection, which secures
mission-critical communications against electronic warfare threats.
The combination of SkyHopper SDRs and ICE delivers unparalleled
operational resilience, providing robust, secure performance in
contested environments.
About Blue UAS
The Blue UAS Framework was established by the
DIU to rapidly vet and scale commercial UAS technology for the DoD.
The program tests, selects, and maintains a roster of NDAA
compliant, policy approved UAS components and software that meet
the standards of the DoD and its Programs of Record, as well as
serving the needs of industry, federal, state, and local
governments. The framework provides a short list of approved
venders with advanced capabilities to Blue UAS developers, thereby
reducing risk for government customers. Criteria for consideration
for the Blue UAS program include endorsement of the vendor by a DoD
sponsor, offering a new capability not previously available, and no
overlap with other platforms already on the Blue UAS
list.
