The result is full automation with minimal operator intervention, maximizing equipment performance and reliability. Moreover, the company offers continued support for equipment procurement, installation, calibration, and maintenance, guaranteeing consistent and dependable functionality of the counter-drone systems.

Bel Trading & Consulting Ltd’s anti-drone solutions have undergone extensive testing, proving their efficacy and practicality in real-world situations. As a testament to their reliability, these systems are already operational in numerous airports across Asia and Europe. In today’s aviation landscape, the deployment of such protective counter-drone systems is indispensable for any large civil airport, serving as a critical preventive measure for ensuring the safety of aircraft during takeoff and landing.

In a constant pursuit of innovation, Bel Trading & Consulting Ltd is further enhancing its anti-drone system to address the emerging threat of low-flying civilian drones near airports and air bases. The company aims to develop a flexible and versatile system, combining multiple methods, including interference with drone radio and GPS signals, to effectively divert or block the movement of unauthorized drones.

Bel Trading & Consulting Ltd values collaborative efforts and is committed to meeting customer preferences. Whether it involves supplying or procuring equipment to counter unauthorized drone flights or engaging in joint development of automatic systems, the company welcomes various forms of cooperation. Customer requirements and preferences are given utmost priority during the design, installation, and configuration of the counter-drone system. Through seamless collaboration, Bel Trading & Consulting Ltd ensures efficient completion of tasks within the planned budgetary framework.

Cyber security firm BITSCore successfully tested software algorithms on a sub-orbital rocket launch

BRISBANE, Queensland, Australia, 17-Nov-2021 — /EPR AEROSPACE NEWS/ — Australian cyber security company BITSCore has successfully tested two sets of software algorithms on a sub-orbital rocket launched in Queensland, Australia, just a week after testing them on the International Space Station.

The software will help providers to upgrade onboard satellite cyber security as they join the 5G network, and allow satellite customers to request “ride-share” tasking from satellite operators.

BITSCore CEO Dr David Hyland-Wood said the advent of 5G had brought home to the satellite industry the need for new cybersecurity measures to help guarantee their security.

“5G has been a wake-up call for satellite operators everywhere, as they come to understand the need for making sure their satellites, some of which may have been in space for several years, need cyber security assurance,” Dr Hyland-Wood said.

“In recent weeks we did some preliminary tests on the International Space station (ISS), and now we have tested in the harsh environment of a rocket launch,” he said.

“We put the software on a board as physical payload and tested our communications, using internet protocols to exercise our authorisation system.”

This latest SONAR mission (‘Snakes on a Rocket’, named after its Python programming language) test confirms the technology has reached Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL 6) – system prototype demonstration in a relevant environment.

Also tested in the Black Sky Aerospace rocket was an algorithm which will allow satellite customers to alert operators of task requirements, and operators to pick up those tasks in a ride-share arrangement.

The tasking might include earth observation, communications, navigation, surveillance or monitoring the weather.

The launch took place on one of Black Sky’s outback Queensland space launch sites. The flight reached speeds almost twice the speed of sound and altitude of almost 30,000 feet in about 10 seconds.

Dr Hyland-Wood said that following the successful ISS and rocket launch tests, the next step was to test them in a military exercise environment, followed by continued testing on the ISS.

BITSCore Pty Ltd (bits-core.com) is an Australian cybersecurity company providing unique and powerful distributed computing solutions utilising patented and patent-pending technologies. These include satellite command and control, provably secure data storage, and advanced command authorisation services. BITSCore is headquartered in Queensland and serves governments and corporations in countries allied with Australia.
