ARC / Secure BLOS Communications
Avidron ARC
ARC is Avidron's patent-pending secure communications architecture for unmanned aircraft operating beyond line of sight over LEO networks, built around an aircraft-initiated secure link.
Integrated into Echo. Selective external evaluation may be considered for a limited number of qualified programs.
Operational Profile
Hardware, compute, and software in one communications stack
ARC combines aircraft-mounted hardware, onboard compute, and software-defined control into one system for secure beyond-line-of-sight command, telemetry, and video. The summary below focuses on mission use, field footprint, and integration posture.

Strategic ARC Evaluation
Start with communications
For external platforms, ARC may be considered for a limited number of qualified strategic programs without procuring the full Echo aircraft. These engagements are selective, case-by-case, and not offered as a general integration product.
Request ARC Evaluation
External ARC evaluations are limited to qualified strategic programs.
