Mobilicom Secures Approximately $600,000 in Follow-On Production Scale Order from One of the Largest U.S.-based Drone Manufacturers for its Cybersecure Drone Data Link System

By: Mobilicom Limited via GlobeNewswire

January 07, 2025 at 07:00 AM EST

Marks a total of 5 production scale orders to date with this customer demonstrating continuous growth and expectation for ongoing orders

U.S. Tier-1 customer, which has over $5 billion in annual sales, has equipped its drones with Mobilcom’s SkyHopper PRO

Palo Alto, California, U.S., Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobilicom Limited (Nasdaq: MOB), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced that it has received the latest in a series of commercial scale follow-on orders from one of the largest U.S. drone manufacturers of small-sized drones. These drones, which have integrated Mobilicom’s SkyHopper PRO datalinks as an essential component, are being sold to U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) programs.

“This latest follow-on order, valued at approximately $600,000, demonstrates the strong traction our customer’s drones have gained with top U.S. government and defense purchasers. Delivery is expected to be completed in the upcoming months to support this immediate expansion in DOD programs,” stated Mobilicom CEO and Founder Oren Elkayam. “We are proud that our critical communications components have been selected as an integral part of drones that are trusted to perform under the most challenging circumstances. As our Tier-1 customer continues to win contracts for thousands of its drones, we expect continued follow-on orders for our SkyHopper PRO.”

The global drone data link system market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25% and reach approximately $18 billion by 2030. Mobilicom expects that its solutions have the potential to fill a growing demand as this customer and other Tier-1 manufacturers continue to sell uncrewed autonomous vehicles (UAVs).

Mobilicom’s SkyHopper PRO datalink was chosen over four other competing products following intensive field testing. SkyHopper PRO is a Secured Cognitive Software Defined Radio (SDR), with enhanced combat-proven performance, including in harsh environments. It offers what the company believes to be the best performance-to-SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) in the market based on an internal study of competitor product offerings. Other key factors considered include the Company’s excellent customer support, fast production and delivery times.
