Hoverfly Technologies Achieves Remarkable Success in Video Surveillance and Live Streaming
Hoverfly Technologies recently marked a pivotal achievement in the field of military video surveillance and live streaming at the Big Sandy Range Live Fire event and Northrop Grumman's Bushmaster User Conference held in April. During this significant gathering, Hoverfly deployed two of its advanced Spectre systems designed to capture and stream live video, thereby demonstrating exceptional capabilities as ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) nodes that maintain a constant video backhaul and offer versatile multi-mission operations.
The deployment of Hoverfly's Spectre systems highlights the seamless integration of innovative technology within real-world military operations. Operated remotely, these Spectre units were strategically mounted on Expeditionary Modular Autonomous Vehicles (EMAVs), which are part of the U.S. Army's Robotic Combat Vehicle – Light (RCV-L) program. Each Spectre was equipped with NextVision Raptor gimbals, enabling them to deliver uninterrupted high-definition aerial footage throughout the event.
To bolster the reliability of video transmission, the Spectres utilized Silvus radios, ensuring secure and persistent network connectivity. This configuration not only provided real-time situational awareness to attendees both at the site and those viewing from remote locations but also showcased the adaptability of the Spectre system to meet the demands of dynamic operational environments.
The Bushmaster User Conference served as an excellent platform for military stakeholders, systems developers, and operational teams to observe the latest advancements in the capabilities of Northrop Grumman's Bushmaster® Chain Guns® and advanced ammunition systems. The event's requirements included enduring long-duration flights and adept functioning under demanding operational conditions, including live firing ranges. Hoverfly Technologies proved their mettle and maintained performance excellence across all aspects of the event.
According to organizers from Northrop Grumman, the integration of Hoverfly's technology enhanced the customer experience by providing an engaging view of the live firing range effects during demonstrations. The persistent video backhaul managed by professional Hoverfly operators transformed viewing the firing range into a dynamic and engaging experience from an elevated perspective.
The compact and rugged design of the Hoverfly Spectre made it ideally suited for the fast-paced environment of the conference. This successful deployment underlines the Spectre's essential role in the modern landscape of tactical communication and battlefield situational awareness.
Steve Walters, CEO of Hoverfly Technologies, emphasized the significance of the Spectre system, stating, "This demonstration reinforces what many of our defense partners already know — Spectre is not just a drone, it's a force multiplier. Whether for ISR, communications relay, or live event coverage, Spectre continues to showcase its multi-mission value across a multitude of operational scenarios."
