UNITED STATES OF AMERICA —Defense technology developer Somewear Labs has been selected by the US Department of War to advance resilient edge networking infrastructure for autonomous and uncrewed platforms. Under the contract award, the company will expand its hardware and software solutions to support the Pentagon's Multi-Domain Collaborative Autonomy program along with additional uncrewed systems. The initiative integrates secure satellite communications and intelligent routing software to maintain continuous command and control capabilities during severe network degradation.
Somewear Labs is an American technology firm that develops resilient software-defined networking architectures and satellite communication hardware for defense, emergency, and industrial applications. The US Department of War serves as the executive department of the federal government responsible for coordinating national security and military defense operations.
The project leverages Somewear's Horizon platform, a low-power, multi-network line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications radio engineered specifically for uncrewed vehicle integration. By deploying adaptive networking software capable of dynamically rerouting data across disparate networks, the technology provides defense original equipment manufacturers with a standardized, modular communication framework that accelerates platform deployment while ensuring operators retain control in contested electromagnetic environments.
This contract highlights a growing strategic emphasis on autonomous systems and multi-domain connectivity within military modernization programs. For defense prime contractors, communications technology providers, and military planners, implementing software-defined, multi-network architectures addresses critical operational vulnerabilities, facilitating rapid technology insertion and improving survivability across contested tactical theaters.
