Beechat Network Systems will be participating in REPMUS 2026 under the NATO DIANA delegation, where we will demonstrate the Kaonic 1S platform in a live operational environment.
REPMUS is NATO’s flagship experimentation exercise for maritime unmanned systems and interoperability, organised in collaboration with the Portuguese Navy, bringing together defence, industry and research to validate emerging technologies against real operational scenarios and standards such as STANAG 4817.
At this year’s exercise, we will focus on a key challenge: maintaining a continuous Common Operational Picture when GNSS and infrastructure are no longer available.
Kaonic 1S will be demonstrated as a self-healing, infrastructure-free mesh network at squad level, enabling operators using ATAK to exchange data peer-to-peer and maintain situational awareness without satellite services or fixed networks.
We will also explore deployable relay nodes and integration of distributed sensors to extend connectivity across heterogeneous assets in contested environments.
As part of the NATO DIANA programme, we are bringing this capability into real operational scenarios where resilience, autonomy and interoperability are critical.
Looking forward to engaging with partners and end users on the ground.
