UAV-based Airborne-to-Ground 4G/5G Comms

5G technology has boosted cellular networks, facilitated modern emergency support for first responders, and is in the process of helping transform the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) capabilities and wireless connectivity.

For the past few years now, the DoD has been working with companies such as Verizon, Omni-Response, and Cornet Technology on pilots to add airborne-to-ground 5G connectivity to aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This initiative will leverage command and control platforms and applications to provide mission critical assets and personnel management.
