Sunlight Aerospace’s core technologies, products, and services are broadly applicable across industries in the commercial, government, and defense sectors, including:
Broadband Communications
Sunlight® is developing technology and autonomous vehicles to replace terrestrial communication networks with airborne networks which include the following advantages and characteristics: works or operates independently or complementary to satellite constellations or terrestrial networks.
The shared vision of airborne networks is to extend or complement terrestrial networks which have incomplete or restricted coverage, extensive infrastructure, deployment challenges, limited bandwidth and poor resilience to natural disasters. High altitude airborne networks are particularly attractive and have the potential to provide universal, wide-area, disaster-proof, line-of-sight, persistent year-round coverage direct to mobile users, with minimal infrastructure. Furthermore, they can be readily deployable, easily upgraded and have lower cost to scale than terrestrial networks.
Defense
Sunlight® products and services are suitable for defense and DHS applications.
Products:
Sunlink®-X for high altitude missions
Sunlink®-XD for low altitude missions
Sunfleet® rapidly deployable, scalable, multi-drone swarms fly in formation and close-formation patterns. They are designed with distributed and scalable payloads and have persistent and long-endurance capabilities with no single point of failure.
