RMX's VAST™ Video Compression Platform Targets $3.1 Billion Counter-UAS Network Bottleneck

Event summary

  • RMX positions VAST™ as critical data backbone for next-gen Counter-UAS networks amid $3.1B DoW investment in FY2026.
  • VAST™ compresses video data by up to 50% while maintaining quality for real-time threat classification.
  • Platform supports multi-sensor integration across constrained tactical networks, including SATCOM and RF links.
  • Field-validated in military environments, VAST™ enables rapid deployment without infrastructure overhaul.
  • DoW's Drone Dominance Program ($1.1B) highlights growing need for bandwidth-efficient solutions in C-UAS operations.

The big picture

The U.S. military's $3.1B investment in Counter-UAS capabilities underscores the critical need for bandwidth-efficient solutions as drone threats evolve. RMX's VAST™ platform addresses a fundamental bottleneck in modern C-UAS architectures, enabling real-time sensor data transmission across constrained networks. The platform's software-first approach and compatibility with existing infrastructure position it as a key enabler for scaling C-UAS coverage without proportional increases in bandwidth costs.
