Ukrainian company Bravo Dynamics has launched a cutting-edge mesh communication system, Phantom 3.0, tailored for ground robotic platforms. According to Defense Express, the standout feature of this solution is its ability to ensure stable communication without relying on airborne repeaters, making the system less vulnerable to electronic warfare.

Unlike traditional methods, Phantom 3.0 employs a network of ground nodes that maintain data exchange with robotic platforms even under challenging conditions. This solution was developed with the specifics of ground vehicles in mind, while most existing technologies primarily focus on unmanned aerial vehicles.

The Phantom 3.0 system, set to be operational by year-end, allows for up to five nodes in a group, features an adaptive frequency hopping mechanism (FHSS), and is resistant to natural interferences. It can transmit data over distances of up to 80 km in the frequency range of 150 MHz to 1.6 GHz.

Bravo Dynamics has already entered into an agreement with Dwarf Engineers and signed memorandums with CB Vepryk and Roboneers. Previous versions of Phantom underwent successful testing in the summer of 2024, and the first commercial delivery worth $25,000 took place in the fall. The company is currently developing Phantom 2.0, which will support up to three devices and is expected to be ready 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 the project could fundamentally alter the approach to robotic solutions in modern conflicts.
