Mobilicom Wins $390,000 R&D Innovation Program to Develop Advanced Anti-Jamming Technology for Drones and Robotics
Palo Alto, California, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobilicom Limited (Nasdaq: MOB), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced it has been chosen and won a $390,000 R&D innovation program to develop Enhanced Electronic Warfare communications systems that protect uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) against advanced wideband jamming. Anti-jamming technology is a critically important unmet need as reflected in the Middle East and Ukraine conflicts where drones are widely used in the battlefield and electronic warfare can damage mission success. As part of the R&D program, Mobilicom is collaborating with a leading research university to develop and implement advanced anti-jamming methods, addressing challenges of increasing prevalence, including jamming scenarios caused by spectrum congestion in environments saturated with signals and by deliberate interference from adversaries. Upon full development, the new innovation would be offered as an upgrade to further fortify the Company's ICE software suite when embedded on its SkyHopper cognitive software defined radio (SDR) datalinks family of products. SkyHopper is one of Mobilicom's top-selling products and a critical system in UAVs manufactured by the world's leading defense contractors. SkyHopper products were recently added to the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit's (DIU) highly selective Blue UAS Framework, a short list of approved products for procurement for U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) programs. 'The need for resilient anti-jamming solutions is crucial to ensuring real-time mission continuity at minimal cost, without requiring significant modifications to existing UAVs and robotics,' stated Mobilicom VP of R&D and Co-Founder Yossi Segal. 'We believe this innovation will position Mobilicom and our ICE electronic warfare datalink cybersecurity at the cutting edge of technology.' Radio signal jamming has evolved significantly in recent years. Today, advanced jamming systems are available at low cost in the civilian market, while the military sector continues to see a growing variety of sophisticated jammers. Such jammers can be utilized for various purposes: Military – Disrupting operational activities, hijacking sensitive military equipment by adversaries, affecting supply lines and rescue operations, etc. Commercial – Disrupting missions and causing their failure, data theft, cargo theft, reputational damage, etc. Security and law enforcement – Criminals evading surveillance, activists avoiding detection, etc. About Mobilicom Mobilicom is a leading provider of cybersecure robust solutions for the rapidly growing defense and commercial drones and robotics market. Mobilicom's large portfolio of field-proven technologies includes cybersecurity, software, hardware, and professional services that power, connect, guide, and secure drones and robotics.

Israel to confiscate a thousand hectares of Palestinian land in West Bank
The Israeli army issued two edicts on 10 February to confiscate more than 10,000 dunums (1,000 hectares) of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. Referred to as 'temporary military decisions", the army is targeting 8,734 dunums in the Tubas areas and 2,394 dunums in several villages east of Ramallah. The text of the two orders stated that they were issued by Yossi Segal, the official responsible for government property and absentee property in the West Bank, to approve a temporary decision on government lands for the purpose of grazing. Recently, Israeli settlers have seized large areas of land in the West Bank under the pretext of grazing their livestock. To impose de facto control, they release cows and sheep into the plains and mountains, control them, and prevent Palestinians from reaching them. Pastoral settlement constitutes one of the most serious challenges to Palestinians looking to preserve their land. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Najeh Rustom, mayor of Kafr Malek, east of Ramallah, told Middle East Eye that he had received a decision to confiscate at least 1,500 dunams of the town's land. He explained that these lands were used by the local community, which had cultivated various crops on them before the Israeli army shut off access to the land following the Hamas-led 7 October attack and the subsequent war on Gaza. 'Little by little, we became unable to reach this area, which was also inhabited by dozens of Bedouin families, but the settlers expelled them from it months ago with their attacks,' Rustom said. One settler with some sheep and cows controls the area, as well as others in neighboring villages against which a confiscation order has been issued, such as Deir Jarir, Abu Falah, and al-Mughayer. The Israeli army has protected settlers during their incursion into these lands and prevented Palestinians from getting there. An official confiscation decision was recently issued, initially under the pretext of grazing, but it is believed that the reason will be changed to another, such as the conversion of lands into a nature reserve or military zone. 'The settlers deprived us of our grazing and agricultural areas. We used to depend on livestock for our livelihood, but now we only graze them between our homes and many were forced to sell them due to the lack of pastures despite the vast areas they own,' Rustom explained. Expanding settlers' control The Palestinians believe that these confiscation decisions are merely a prelude to an accelerated annexation process, which Israel seeks to complete this year. "Israel's decision to confiscate thousands of dunums comes as a continuation of its expansionist policies in this region, which has been subjected to a fierce settlement attack for years," activist Arif Daraghmeh, from Tubas, told MEE. 'Banality of evil': Artist turns Gaza settler dream into disturbing installation Read More » He said that 42 settlements and settlement outposts were now established in the Jordan Valley area, and that 83 percent of its area has come under Israeli control, whether in settlements, military areas, or pastoral areas. 'These lands, before a decision was issued to confiscate them, were closed to the Palestinians under various pretexts, and they meant complete control over the eastern regions of the northern Jordan Valley,' he said. Four pastoral settlement outposts were established by settlers over the past two years on these lands, which indicates that the Israeli army is in harmony with the settlers' desires to control any area. 'Israel handed over the settlement council in the West Bank to seize it without any deterrent. These lands will be a prelude to expanding the settlers' control over all of the Jordan Valley,' he said.
