A modern, affordable, resilient radio for secure dismounted situational awareness and communications in contested environments.
The Shadowcat radio keeps you hidden in plain sight with advanced RF technology that is less detectable and susceptible to interference and jamming attempts by adversaries.
Unlike typical large, brick style tactical radios, the Shadowcat weighs just 0.23 kilograms and is the size of a commercial smartphone. The radio is simple, easy-to-use, and can transmit data, voice, and real-time high-definition video. It is interoperable with existing Bowman ComBAT Infrastructure and Platform (BCIP) networks and equipment and is available in both handheld and vehicle-mounted configurations.
