Mobilicom SwarmiX mesh radio suite targets drone swarms

Mobilicom Inc. introduced SwarmiX Suite at AUSA 2026 in Washington, D.C. (October 12–14, Hall DE, Booth #7305). The suite addresses the move from single autonomous platforms to coordinated swarms and fleets.

The mesh is designed for hundreds of nodes, linking drones, ground robots, vehicles and operators. Throughput of up to 1 Gbps lets video, sensor feeds, telemetry and command data share the network, which runs in mesh, point-to-multipoint or point-to-point configurations.

Electronic warfare resiliency and anti-jamming are meant to keep data flowing despite interference and deliberate jamming. A multi-band spectrum agility roadmap envisions a single radio covering up to 7 GHz. Wider frequency choice would let neighboring fleets operate on separate bands in congested or contested spectrum.

Embedded computing on the communications module hosts the cybersecurity functions. Against disruption and interception, command links, telemetry and mission data get Secured Autonomy protections from the ICE software made by Mobilicom. Basic security is built in; further functions require optional software licenses.

The suite comprises a compact embedded module for drones and robotics and a ruggedized tactical unit for operators, vehicles and launch systems. Its SWaP-C profile targets small platforms. Intended uses are manned–unmanned teaming, loitering munition fleets and counter-UAV interceptor networks.

CTO and co-founder Yossi Segal frames the product around the shift to autonomous fleets, where scalable communications and cybersecurity have to be delivered together.

Why it matters

Mobilicom supplies cybersecurity, software and hardware for defense and commercial drones and robotics, with more than 50 customers. Its SkyHopper data links (PRO, PRO Lite and PRO Micro) are NDAA compliant and carry Blue UAS cybersecurity certification; SwarmiX adds a mesh line for fleet-scale operations.

NDAA compliance and U.S. production address the requirements of U.S. defense programs. The 7 GHz span is a roadmap item rather than a delivered capability.

The suite enters a segment of tactical mesh and data-link radios that includes Doodle Labs Mesh Rider, Silvus StreamCaster 4200 Enhanced Plus and Persistent Systems Embedded Module.
