Low SWaP design
Low size and weight enable Link 16 on small attritable platforms for the first time.
Capabilities
Link 16 on small, attritable platforms.
Affordable COTS
High-quality product and support as a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) item.
Built for growth
Delivered with Link 16 basic capability but designed for future waveform growth and expansion to support a wide range of missions.
Crypto-less at the forward edge
Small, rugged and designed for flexible use across many platforms, M-FEAR enables the proliferation of BLink operations through low-cost, crypto-less devices deployable to the forward edge.
