Harvest launches defence partnership with AST Group & Guerrilla Technologies to provide seamless connectivity.

Harvest Technology Group (Harvest), a renowned provider of secure, high-quality video and data transmission solutions, The AST Group (AST), a global leader in satellite communications services, and Guerrilla Technologies (Guerrilla), a pioneer in autonomous technology and robotics, today announce their strategic partnership. Together, they aim to deliver a future-proof connectivity backbone for all-domain connected operations in the defence sector.

This ground-breaking collaboration will harness the strengths of Harvest’s Nodestream technology, AST’s global satellite connectivity network, and Guerrilla’s innovative robotics to empower defence operations with the Internet of Military Things (IoMT). IoMT refers to the network of interconnected devices, sensors, and platforms capable of collecting, processing, and sharing data for heightened situational awareness, command and control, and operational effectiveness.

Paul Guilfoyle, Harvest’s Chief Executive Officer, emphasized the growing role of data in modern military operations. “Military success hinges on how forces use data to enhance awareness, control, effectiveness, resilience, and deterrence,” Guilfoyle stated. “Fast, reliable, and secure connections allow defence to leverage advanced technologies, reducing risks to personnel, augmenting human performance, and increasing efficiency across domains.”

While Harvest, AST, and Guerrilla have individually collaborated with military organizations, they recognize that combining their expertise creates a winning formula for future-proof connectivity.

“Nodestream offers military-grade security, 384-bit encrypted connections, and high-quality video, audio, and data transmission without the need for significant bandwidth,” Paul Guilfoyle continued. “It’s perfect for defence forces to securely access, share, and analyse large packets of real-time data from disparate sources, enabling critical life-saving decisions and rapid strategic movements.”

James De Vroome, Vice President AST Asia Pacific highlighted the reliability and security of their global satellite connectivity network, which provides scalable communication services for military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), logistics, and emergency response. The network can transmit large volumes of data, voice, and video across different domains, levels, and locations, withstanding cyberattacks, jamming, and other disruptions.

Guerrilla integrates the network, technology, and robotics into bespoke defence applications and interfaces, delivering end-to-end rapidly deployable solutions that are resilient, sustainable, and uninterrupted in achieving mission success and safety.

Key Benefits of the Tripartite Connectivity Backbone include:

Enhanced Situational Awareness: Access, share, and analyse data from multiple sources for a comprehensive understanding of the operational environment and adversary’s intentions and capabilities.
Improved Command and Control: Facilitate effective communication across different domains, levels, and locations to coordinate actions, synchronize operations, and execute missions efficiently.
Increased Operational Effectiveness: Leverage advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and immersive technologies to augment human performance, reduce risks, and enhance efficiency in various domains.
Greater Resilience and Deterrence: Withstand and recover from cyberattacks, jamming, and network disruptions, while demonstrating superior capabilities and readiness to deter and counter adversary actions.
Extraction of Valuable Insights: Analyse data from diverse sources, such as social media, satellite imagery, and sensors, to support decision-making, intelligence analysis, and threat detection.

The applications of this connectivity extend beyond defence to sectors including offshore asset inspection and security, environmental monitoring, coastal surveillance, oil spill response, and search and rescue.

This announcement underscores Harvest’s growing presence in the global defence sector, with significant deals in 2023, including a partnership with a major Five-Eyes defence customer and a European Union Defence Force.

Harvest launches defence partnership with AST Group & Guerrilla Technologies at MilCIS 2023

We are pleased to be exhibiting at the upcoming Military Communications and Information Systems (MilCIS) 2023 conference and expo in Canberra.

MilCIS is Australia’s premier conference dedicated to the latest advancements in military communications and information systems.

We are excited to showcase our solutions alongside partners Applied Satellite Technology (AST) Group and Guerrilla Technologies. Together we provide proven and trusted end-to-end technology solutions for defence and industry, ensuring resilient communications to support defence teams in some of the most remote and isolated environments.

Government, security, and military personnel often operate in remote austere environments where information sharing is critical to mission success and the safety of people and assets. Coordinating teams over land, sea and air requires secure reliable integrated communications across available networks. Uncrewed and autonomous systems have seen a significant rise within defence, offering a range of advantages including increased safety, reduced risk to personnel and enhanced efficiency in various military operations. This partnership enables the benefits of all three companies’ offerings combined to improve safety, reliability, and efficiency.

Applications extend to other sectors including offshore asset inspection and security (e.g., wind farms, platforms), environmental monitoring, coastal surveillance, oil spill response, and search and rescue.

AST is an independent full-service communications integrator, providing the maritime, energy and government sectors with reliable hybrid end-to-end remote connectivity solutions. Together AST and Harvest can add value and improve the capabilities of solutions to better service customers by optimising available network bandwidth. Guerrilla Technologies is an emerging provider of autonomous technology and robotics with innovative applications in the defence sector. By combining our network optimised live streaming capability with AST Group’s remote communication systems and Guerrilla Technologies’ bespoke autonomous assets, the three companies deliver complete solutions for defence applications including vessel, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), and uncrewed system deployments.

Through partnership Harvest, AST and Guerrilla Technologies have united to deliver a comprehensive suite of seamless connectivity solutions tailored to the evolving needs of industry and the defence sector.

With a growing presence in the international defence sector, our solutions are proven and trusted by international and Five-Eyes defence customers.

Visit us at MilCIS in Canberra between November 14-16 2023, to learn more. Find us at stand F26-28 to discover how our partnership can deliver solutions for safe, secure, seamless and successful operations.

Together with AST Group and Guerrilla Technologies, Harvest looks forward to shaping the future of military communications and information systems. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of the next generation of defence technology.
