Silvus StreamCaster 4400 Enhanced MANET Radio Receives Department of Defense (DoD) Certification for Secure U.S. Military Drone Operations

DoD’s innovation unit and AUVSI, a leading autonomous innovation industry group, validate expanded portfolio of Silvus NDAA compliant radios for secure use in unmanned missions

 

CHICAGO (December 9, 2025) – Silvus Technologies (Silvus), a Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) company and a global leader in advanced wireless networking solutions, today announced that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has added the StreamCaster 4400 Enhanced (SC4400E) mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) radio to its Blue UAS Framework, a rigorous testing and certification program that approves technologies for use in U.S. military unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations. The Association of Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) has also added the SC4400E to its Green UAS Cleared Components list, certifying it meets rigorous cybersecurity and supply chain standards for commercial drones and components.

 

“The Blue UAS Framework and AUVSI Green UAS certification validate that the SC4400E MANET radio meets the rigorous standards for secure, mission-critical connectivity demanded by today’s leading-edge unmanned systems operating in the world’s most challenging and contested environments,” said Neema Daneshvar, vice president of Product, Silvus Technologies. “Its addition to both programs strengthens Silvus’ position as a benchmark for robust, secure and resilient command and control (C2) and mesh networking solutions for UAS and unmanned operations.”

 

Powered by Silvus’ proprietary Mobile Networked MIMO waveform, SC4400E radios create a scalable connected mesh network that can link hundreds of nodes, from drones to ground radios, to stream high-bandwidth video, voice and sensor data back to command with extreme range. The radio is designed to easily integrate into fixed infrastructure or vehicular, maritime, airborne or unmanned systems, to support missions across air, land and sea.

 

The SC4400E provides access to Spectrum Dominance 2.0, an ever-expanding suite of electronic warfare (EW) defense capabilities, including Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD), Anti-Jamming and Advanced Threat Protection. These capabilities help deliver secure and protected communications in congested and contested spectrum environments without sacrificing performance, even under electromagnetic attack.

 

The National Defense Authorization Act-compliant SC4400E joins the StreamCaster SC4200EP, StreamCaster LITE SL4200 and SL5200 MANET radios on the Blue UAS Framework and Green UAS Cleared Components list.

Silvus Technologies, a Motorola Solutions Company, Launches StreamCaster® NEXUS, Next-Generation Tactical Networking System for Dismounted Military Operators

New chest-mounted technology combines next-gen MANET radio performance with a mission-ready smartphone to maximize mobility, security and mission effectiveness at the tactical edge

 

 

CHICAGO, IL (October 8, 2025) – Silvus Technologies (“Silvus”), a Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) company and global leader in advanced wireless networking solutions, today unveiled the StreamCaster NEXUS, a next-generation, chest-mounted tactical networking system that delivers mission-critical connectivity and data access for real-time situational awareness. Optimized for size, weight and power (SWaP) to reduce the load an operator carries, the networking system maximizes flexibility and connectivity for dismounted military operations.

“Developed with direct feedback from operators, every design element of StreamCaster NEXUS redefines what they should expect from a tactical networking system to maximize mission effectiveness,” said Neema Daneshvar, vice president of Product at Silvus Technologies. “This tactical networking system provides military and law enforcement professionals with a secure, mobile communications hub that lets them share voice, video and data in real time, even when traditional infrastructure isn’t available.”

The StreamCaster NEXUS pairs the advanced StreamCaster MINI 5200 (SM5200) mobile ad hoc network (MANET) radio and Samsung’s tactical mobile device (End User Device (EUD): models S23/S23TE and above) with a low-profile, custom-designed Juggernaut.Case chest mount. It empowers users with an adaptive and secure networking system that blends into their tactical vest and keeps cables snag-free, enhancing their operational freedom.

With access to the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) and other situational awareness software applications, operators gain real-time geospatial intelligence and mission planning, as well as radio/network configuration through the StreamScape network management plug-in. Multiple interfaces including data connectivity (Ethernet, USB, RS232), dual push-to-talk, dedicated radio over IP and Nett Warrior unified power help the system adapt seamlessly to provide resilient, operator-focused connectivity across today’s dynamically changing battlespace.

 

StreamCaster NEXUS’ Advanced Networking Capabilities
The StreamCaster NEXUS features the cutting-edge, ultra-slim StreamCaster SM5200 MANET radio, delivering up to 2W native output power (4W effective power with TX Eigen Beamforming) and up to 100 Mbps data rate, optimizing network performance for voice, high-fidelity video and IP data communications. Powered by Silvus’ MN-MIMO waveform, StreamCaster NEXUS creates a self-forming and adaptive mesh network – capable of linking hundreds of nodes with unmatched range, throughput and electronic warfare (EW) resilience. Its seamless interoperability with 4000-series StreamCaster MANET radios, paired with a quick-release snap-lock system, allows users to easily detach the SM5200 for standalone radio operations.

 

Achieve Spectrum Dominance
In addition to AES256 and FIPS 140-3 encryption for secure operations, StreamCaster NEXUS provides optional access to Spectrum Dominance 2.0, Silvus’ ever-expanding licensable suite of Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD), Anti-Jam (AJ) EW resiliency and Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) capabilities. Delivering secure and protected communications that thrive in congested and EW- contested environments without sacrificing performance, Spectrum Dominance empowers operators to achieve decision dominance and RF spectrum overmatch in any operational environment.

The StreamCaster NEXUS will be on display at the AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition (October 13-15, Washington D.C.). Visit Silvus’ booth #3645 and Motorola Solutions’ booth #6721.
