Member Spotlight: Elsight

March 2, 2026

Elsight delivers secure, resilient connectivity solutions that enable reliable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone and autonomous operations in complex and contested environments. Its Halo platform aggregates multiple communication links into a single bonded data pipeline to support continuous command and control and real-time data transmission.

Value of Elsight’s AUVSI Membership

Co-founder and CTO of Elsight, Roee Kashi, says AUVSI membership provides direct access to the global unmanned systems ecosystem, including regulators, integrators, operators, and OEMs. The organization values the opportunity to build strategic partnerships, increase industry visibility, and stay closely aligned with evolving standards and regulatory developments impacting BVLOS and autonomous operations.

“Membership in AUVSI is attractive to Elsight because it provides direct access to the global unmanned systems ecosystem: regulators, integrators, operators, and OEMs,” Kashi says. “It enables strategic partnerships, regulatory influence, industry visibility, and exposure to emerging standards and markets in BVLOS, drones, and autonomous operations, accelerating business development and technology adoption.”

Exciting Industry Developments

Elsight sees the large-scale enablement of fully autonomous BVLOS operations as one of the most significant developments shaping the industry. Advances in connectivity, artificial intelligence, and regulatory maturity are converging to expand unmanned operations beyond isolated pilot programs and into scalable commercial and defense ecosystems.

As communication networks become more resilient through multi-link bonding across cellular, satellite, and RF pathways, drones and autonomous platforms will be positioned to operate safely at scale in logistics, emergency response, infrastructure inspection, and smart city environments.

Industry Challenges

For defense applications in particular, Elsight identifies resilient, secure, and assured connectivity in contested and degraded environments as a critical challenge. Defense operations must assume jamming, spoofing, cyber intrusion, spectrum congestion, and infrastructure denial as baseline conditions.

Unmanned systems are increasingly central to intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, logistics, and multi-domain operations. Their effectiveness depends on uninterrupted command and control, real-time data transmission, and coordinated autonomy across distributed assets. Aggregating and dynamically managing multiple communication pathways while maintaining low latency and encryption integrity is essential to sustaining mission continuity in these environments.

Elsight’s Role in the Industry’s Future

Elsight is focused on solving one of the unmanned industry’s most fundamental requirements: secure, resilient, real-time connectivity that enables reliable BVLOS and autonomous operations in complex or contested settings.

“At the core of this impact is Elsight’s Halo connectivity platform, which uses proprietary multi-link bonding technology to aggregate and intelligently manage multiple communication channels into a single, secure pipeline,” Kashi says. “This dramatically increases uptime, reduces disconnect risk dramatically, and supports critical command and control and high-bandwidth data transmission for drones and other unmanned vehicles.”

This capability supports manufacturers and operators seeking regulatory certifications for BVLOS operations while expanding missions across defense, public safety, logistics, inspection, and other autonomous applications worldwide.

Building Public Trust

Elsight contributes to public trust by enabling safer, more transparent, and more reliable unmanned operations, particularly in public safety, infrastructure inspection, logistics, and defense environments. By minimizing connectivity dropouts and latency, the company helps reduce the likelihood of unpredictable drone behavior, supports persistent command and control and ensures precise data collection.

Its technology also enables robust telemetry and real-time data feeds, which can be shared with mission supervisors and relevant authorities to enhance situational awareness and accountability during operations.
