Global Connectivity For Every Autonomous Mission

From small, uncrewed aircraft operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) to advanced automated systems on crewed platforms, aviation autonomy requires continuous awareness and secure communication. But autonomy still depends on one essential factor: reliable connectivity.With truly global coverage, Iridium keeps autonomous aerial assets connected anywhere—enabling command and control, sensor data transmission, and health monitoring in even the most remote, inhospitable environments.

Worldwide Coverage

Dependable connectivity at any altitude, in any airspace, under any weather conditions. No ground infrastructure required.

Safety & Compliance

Supports BVLOS operations and can assist with regulatory requirements, including FAA AC 107-2 and emerging standards for uncrewed aircraft integration.

Efficient Operations

Real-time updates for navigation, routing, and mission data help autonomous aircraft stay on schedule and adapt to changing conditions.

Scalable Design

Hardware options scale from low-power modules for small UAS to higher-bandwidth solutions for advanced platforms—accelerating deployment and integration.
