FLANQ and DTC Communications are working together to market advanced marine tactical radios for maritime security and defence applications across Europe.

Summary points:

  • FLANQ and DTC Communications partner to integrate secure tactical radios into FLANQ’s uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) for maritime security missions across Europe.
  • Combined technologies will enable encrypted command-and-control links, high-bandwidth sensor data, and interoperability with NATO command systems.
  • The integrated solution is designed to provide long-range, real-time USV control with resilience against electronic warfare jamming and interception.

ROSTOCK, Germany – FLANQ in Rostock, Germany is working together with DTC Communications in Ashburn, Va., to market advanced marine tactical radios for maritime security and defence applications across Europe.

The cooperation will focus on pairing DTC's small, lightweight, and power-efficient communications technology communications technology into FLANQ's family of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) to enable encrypted command-and-control (C2) links for a wide range of naval missions.

By combining FLANQ's autonomous maritime systems with DTC's tactical communications, the companies aim to deliver next-generation mission capabilities for secure intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; critical national infrastructure; protection, patrol and interdiction; and joint force interoperability.

Secure USV control

The integrated solution will enable operators to task, control and monitor FLANQ's USVs securely in real-time across contested oceans for connectivity amid electronic warfare (EW) jamming.

Key capabilities include secure encrypted command-and-control links for surface and littoral operations; high-bandwidth low-latency communications for sensor and video feeds; interoperability with NATO and partner nation command systems; extended range for autonomous and remotely controlled missions; and resilience against jamming and interception.
