NAL Research & Blue Sky Network Solutions Successfully Demonstrate Situational Awareness & Video Capabilities at Arctic Warrior Experiment 2025
Deep in the rugged landscapes of Norway, a small rover makes its way through the snow. NAL Research’s SHOUT nano and QuickNav devices are attached, providing real-time position reporting while Blue Sky Network’s SkyLink® solution sits atop, enabling live video monitoring and the capacity for command and control (C2) of the vehicle. Inside a nearby building, side-by-side monitors display the video feed and the rover’s location through Blue Sky Network’s secure cloud-based portal, SkyRouter.
This demonstration was made possible by the Arctic Warrior Experiment, an event sponsored by both the Norwegian and U.S. Special Operations Commands allowing attendees to test the functionality of their products in harsh, remote environments.
Warfighter onlookers were impressed by the successful performance of NAL and Blue Sky Network’s cutting-edge satellite communications devices as they delivered uninterrupted live streaming and command & control (C2) capabilities for Rover Robotic’s Rover MITI.
“These results are a testament to the resiliency and reliability of our low size, weight, and power (SWaP) solutions,” said Eric Waters, Director of Aviation & UxS at NAL Research, who led the demo. “We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of innovation and providing customers with a complete offering for enhanced situational awareness.”
NAL’s QuickNav device was also integrated on BlueHalo’s quadcopter to further showcase its ability to provide affordable low latency tracking, video streaming, and C2 for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations.
When operating in isolated or uncrewed environments, NAL Research and Blue Sky Network offer a comprehensive portfolio of advanced, small form factor solutions to help users connect, track, and manage assets, and communicate from any location in the world.

MDSI partners with Integrity ISR, LSAS Tec, and NAL Research for multi-domain situational awareness
Aalborg, Denmark – January 22, 2025 – MDSI (EU & US) announced today collaboration partnerships with Integrity ISR, LSAS Tec, and NAL Research to pursue concept exploration and advanced development in multi-domain situational awareness. The partnership is initially focused on expanding Quantum Eye, MDSI EU’s multi-domain situational awareness platform, which is now providing critical ISR services for Greenland.
The new high-performance team consisting of MDSI, Integrity ISR, LSAS Tec, and NAL Research will bring a best of industry approach to enhancing Quantum Eye’s operational capability through the addition of a Digitally-Integrated-Operations Development Environment (DIODE) and a DIODE LAB. These new systems engineering core will enable participants to explore options for multi-domain awareness using the latest in modeling, simulation, analysis, and experimentation combined with rapid prototyping.
DIODE and DIODE LAB will blend the four critical elements of multi-domain awareness: teambuilding, mission calculus, digital mission engineering, and prototyping. Quantum Eye’s expert staP will assist participants in applying state-of-the-art modeling and simulation tools to develop prototypes and experiments. The prototypes and experiments will then be evaluated at Quantum Eye or the participants’ home location using DIODE LAB deployable mission centers.
“We are delighted to take our systems integrator experience from the IRSA Development Group (IDG) and ArcticX into this this exciting new venture,” said Christian Steinø, Chief Executive OPicer of MDSI. “In addition, collaborating with our new partners will enable the Quantum Eye clients to rapidly explore many alternatives to meet their multi-domain awareness needs with significantly less cost and risk.“
“The opportunity to provide authoritative data and training in a fully integrated environment is at the core of Integrity ISR capabilities,” said Danielle Storan, Chief Executive OPicer of Integrity ISR. “We are confident that Quantum Eye will be the commercial benchmark for multi-domain awareness, particularly in the Arctic, North Atlantic & Pacific, and Baltic Sea regions.”
“Connecting multiple users through resilient communications and navigation in contested environments is the focus of NAL Research,” said Robert Bills, Chief Executive OPicer of NAL Research. “Our contribution to Quantum Eye will be connectivity through the Iridium network, and other space-based, aerial, and terrestrial systems, using an affordable and accessible commercial architecture and proven edge systems.”
LSAS Tec, Chief Executive OPicer, Matthew Halferty, shared that “LSAS Tec has been instrumental in establishing capabilities like Quantum Eye in other locations with positive operational results. We look forward to supporting the entire team with proven architectures, advanced tools, and a network of providers that are truly world-class.”
