Mobilicom Secures Commercial Scale Purchase Order from U.S. Tier-1 Manufacturer for Initial Production of Drones for the U.S. DOD

Mobilicom announced a commercial scale purchase order from one of its Tier-1 customers, Teledyne-FLIR, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of small-sized drones and robotics, for 120 of Mobilicom’s SkyHopper PRO datalink systems.

Teledyne-FLIR selected Mobilicom’s SkyHopper PRO as an essential component in its new small-sized drone platform. Having completed the design, development, integration, testing, and validation of this drone platform, Teledyne-FLIR has moved it into the commercialization phase with federal agencies and customers across the U.S.

This latest and largest purchase order to date from Teledyne-FLIR is for SkyHopper PRO systems to be integrated into small-sized drones manufactured for the U.S. Department of Defense. Delivery of the SkyHopper PRO systems to Teledyne-FLIR under this purchase order is expected during 2023.

“As Teledyne-FLIR continues to win additional orders for its small-sized drone platforms with end users such as the U.S. DOD, other federal agencies, and commercial customers, Mobilicom is well positioned for more sales of its Skyhopper Pro,” stated Mobilicom CEO Oren Elkayam. “We see the sales of these systems to the U.S. DOD, one of the largest and most selective procurers of technology, as a strong testament to the excellence of Mobilicom’s market leading end-to-end solutions.”

SkyHopper PRO offers a bi-directional cybersecure Software Defined Radio data link specifically designed for commercial and industrial drones, enabling fleet management and operation of autonomous uncrewed autonomous vehicle (UAV) systems. By employing leading wireless technologies, the SkyHopper PRO delivers long-range and non-line-of-sight communication that supports multiple transmission modes. SkyHopper PRO supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communication enabling various modes of communication, such as multi-drone operations and drone communication to multiple receivers.
