Research abstract

Higher Ground will implement an ATAK plugin to integrate with our ‘Wi-Fi Zone On Demand’ project underway for DHS. This new communication link will provide connectivity in areas that do not have traditional LTE or Wi-Fi connections. By developing the ATAK plug-in, military personnel can use situational awareness within ATAK From Anywhere. The extension of ATAK coverage across the globe is of substantial importance. A commander will be able to position our UAV-to-satellite hotspot anywhere in the world and provide users in the below 20 square mile area communications and situational awareness. This includes high speed voice and situational awareness communications between users in the zone below the UAV as well as a moderate speed internet connection back to base over our satellite backhaul. Higher Ground has the team and experience to accomplish this goal – we started by building the first mobile phone satcom accessory that connects directly to Geostationary satellites; the SatPaq®. We have expert skills in communications, satellites, phone app development, DSP, hardware, and more.
