- Late last year, the Pentagon launched a $1 billion drone dominance program, with U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth pledging to deliver “tens of thousands of small drones to our force in 2026.”
- As military forces accelerate drone deployment, secure communications, electronic warfare resilience and cybersecurity are becoming increasingly important components of autonomous systems.
- Mobilicom provides an expanding portfolio of hardware and software solutions designed to secure drones, robotics and autonomous platforms, with growing commercial traction among tier-1 manufacturers.
Autonomous drones and other unmanned systems depend on several interconnected technologies to carry out their intended missions. Communications links connect platforms with operators, onboard systems execute mission instructions, and reliable data supports operational decision-making. As military organizations continue to rely on these technologies, protecting the systems and connections supporting autonomous operations is becoming an important consideration.

What kinds of technology does Mobilicom provide?
The release describes Mobilicom as a provider of hardware and software for drones, robotics and autonomous platforms. It says the portfolio includes secure datalinks, mesh networking and cybersecurity software, and that the company primarily sells through relationships with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
How do OEM relationships work in the autonomous-systems industry?
An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) makes products that may incorporate components or technology supplied by another company. In an OEM relationship, a supplier’s technology can be integrated into the manufacturer’s product, which is then offered to customers as part of the OEM’s system.
Why are secure communications important for autonomous drones?
The release says drones and other unmanned systems rely on communications links to connect platforms with operators, onboard systems to carry out mission instructions, and data to support operational decisions. Protecting those systems and connections is an important consideration as military organizations rely more on autonomous operations.
What is mesh networking?
Mesh networking is a way of connecting devices so that they can relay data through one another, rather than relying on a single central connection for every communication. Depending on the network design, this can provide multiple paths for information to travel between connected devices.
