Bravo Dynamics has introduced its latest mesh communication system, Phantom 3.0, specifically designed for ground robotic platforms. As reported by Defense Express, this system is distinguished by its ability to maintain stable communication without relying on aerial relays, making it less susceptible to electronic warfare.

Unlike traditional methods, Phantom 3.0 employs a network of ground nodes that can facilitate data exchange with robotic platforms even in challenging conditions. This solution was developed with the unique requirements of ground vehicles in mind, while most existing technologies focus primarily on drones.

The Phantom 3.0 system, expected to be ready by the end of the year, will support up to five nodes in a group, feature an adaptive frequency hopping mechanism (FHSS), and be resilient against natural interference. It will be capable of transmitting data over distances of up to 80 km within a frequency range of 150 MHz to 1.6 GHz.

Bravo Dynamics has already signed agreements with Dwarf Engineers and memorandums with CB Vepryk and Roboneers. Previous versions of Phantom successfully underwent testing in the summer of 2024, and the first commercial supply worth $25,000 occurred in the fall. The company is currently working on the Phantom 2.0, which will support up to three devices and is expected to be completed by late summer.

This technology holds significant potential, as reliable communication for robotic platforms on the battlefield remains a critical need. The successful implementation of this project could fundamentally alter approaches to robotic solutions in contemporary conflicts.
