The design, grade of mobility and available functionalities of the MoSA platforms can vary depending on the on the situation, operation and number of team members working on site and from remote. To cover as much scenarios as possible and to have the best solution at hand, Broadcast Solutions has developed a family of MoSA platforms. They range from case-based ruggedized on-the-go solutions for communication and power supply in the field, and span several mobile, vehicle based MoSA platforms, offering mobile facilities for teams starting with two persons up to large outdoor operation centres that can accommodate up to 20 persons. With these MoSA platforms users can deploy a large variety of Mobile Situation Awareness Solutions to facilitate the deployment of tactical communication systems, in any situation conceivable.

Be it tactical deployments for security organisations, emergency operations for government services or maintenance procedures for industrial facilities, all require situational awareness in the field. Such ad hoc implementations have similar requirements: get to location; set-up cameras and sensors; enable real-time communications with field-operators; analyse incoming data and video feeds; backhaul resulting information to a central command and control centre or remote operator.

The sales of drones worldwide is increasing in a dramatic speed, so are the number of incidents. Counter measures rapidly become a necessity, providing true mobility for deployment is our contribution.

A million commercial drones will be sold worldwide this year. These Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have moved beyond aviation hobbyists and dramatically changed monitoring, distribution, and even industrial applications. A side effect of this boom is that drones have become a rapidly expanding threat to public safety. These past years have demonstrated the ease with which consumer drones can deliver airborne improvised explosive devices (ABIED).

The resulting challenge for security organisations is deploying counter-drone solutions to protect public events and secure the adjoining airspace. Referred to as Counter UAS (or C-UAS), these solutions seek to neutralise the threat by disrupting the Unmanned Aerial System that combines the drone, its associated ground control station and the RF link connecting these two. Such products typically combine small aperture radars to detect flying objects, an EO/IR sensor or camera to track the unidentified flying object, and the software required to drive the platform. A high-powered jammer is often used as a soft kill option.

Facilitating such systems' deployment falls within the scope of Broadcast Solutions Mobile Situational Awareness (MoSA) platforms. A new range of MoSA vehicles has been developed in partnership with several C-UAS manufacturers. These platforms streamline ad hoc deployments in the field and ensure their integration with existing command networks. Securing an area only requires driving the MoSA C-UAS to location and deploying the on-board counter drone system – an operation that can be boiled down to a few minutes.
