When the link between units drops, lives and ground are lost with it. WNC is building defence technology that keeps that link up — in support of Ukraine: resilient embedded radio systems and aerostats, tethered aerial platforms for persistent communications and surveillance.
01 / The problem
On a modern battlefield the link between units is jammed, blocked by terrain, or tied to infrastructure that can be destroyed. That is the problem we are working on.
Electronic warfare degrades or denies standard radios exactly when units need them most.
Line-of-sight links break across hills, treelines and the long distances of the front.
Comms tied to fixed towers and infrastructure go down the moment they are targeted.
02 / Two programmes
Together they keep units connected and commanders informed — with nothing fixed to target.
Resilient comms in contested spectrum
Compact, software-defined radios with anti-jam waveforms and encrypted mesh networking — engineered to keep units connected when the electromagnetic environment is hostile.
Persistent eyes and a relay from altitude
Tethered aerial platforms that lift sensors and radio relays high above the terrain — extending communications range and providing continuous surveillance without a satellite or aircraft.
03 / Capabilities
Low-level SDR & RF firmware for compact, field-deployable transceivers.
Frequency-hopping and anti-jam waveforms designed for contested spectrum.
End-to-end encrypted, self-healing mesh links between units in the field.
Ruggedised, low-power embedded modules built for battlefield conditions.
Elevated relay payloads that extend radio range far beyond ground line-of-sight.
Persistent surveillance from altitude with day/night electro-optical sensors.
04 / How it connects
Radios mesh between units, an aerostat lifts the link above the terrain, and the picture reaches command — with no fixed tower to take out.

05 / Principles
This is an early-stage R&D programme. We are an engineering team bringing the same production discipline behind our software to defence technology — for the people defending their country. 🇺🇦
Anti-jam, encrypted and mesh-redundant so there is no single point to take out.
Low power, rugged and simple to deploy by the people who actually use it.
Encryption and key management baked in from the silicon up, not bolted on.
06 / Questions
Two things: embedded radio systems — compact, anti-jam, encrypted transceivers and mesh networking — and aerostats, tethered aerial platforms that carry comms relays and sensors high above the terrain.
