Oceus’ Xiphos™ private broadband network was utilized in BBN’s successful 60-vehicle swarm. The competition was part of a DARPA OFFSET field experiment with BBN’s Command and Control of Aggregate Swarm Tactics (CCAST) drone swarm framework.
Each of the UxVs used machine-to-machine (M2M) communications for direction and avoidance. This is an example of how private networking using assigned frequencies can outperform traditional listen-before-talk networks, such as Wi-Fi.
