Motorola Solutions announced on December 9 2025 that its Silvus Technologies division’s StreamCaster 4400 Enhanced (SC4400E) radio has been certified by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit and added to the Blue UAS Framework and the AUVSI Green UAS Cleared Components list, qualifying the device for use in secure unmanned aircraft system operations.
The SC4400E is a mobile ad‑hoc network (MANET) radio that uses Silvus’s proprietary Mobile Networked MIMO waveform to create a scalable mesh network. The system can link hundreds of nodes—including drones, ground radios, and other devices—to stream high‑bandwidth video, voice, and sensor data back to command. Certification in the Blue UAS Framework confirms that the radio meets stringent cybersecurity, supply‑chain, and NDAA compliance requirements for military use.
This regulatory approval expands Silvus’s integration into Motorola’s Mission Critical Networks portfolio and opens a new revenue channel in the defense market, a key growth area for the company. The certification signals that Motorola can now offer a fully compliant, high‑performance networking solution for UAS missions, positioning it to win future DoD contracts and to serve commercial drone operators that require Green UAS certification.
Motorola’s acquisition of Silvus for $4.4 billion closed on August 6 2025, and the company has highlighted the SC4400E certification as a milestone in overcoming integration challenges. In its Q3 2025 earnings, Motorola reported revenue of $3.0 billion, up 8% year‑over‑year, and non‑GAAP earnings per share of $4.06, surpassing analyst expectations. CEO Greg Brown emphasized that the acquisition “underscores our unwavering conviction that technology is the bedrock for protecting communities, securing borders and defending against today’s ever‑evolving threats.”
The addition of the SC4400E to the Green UAS Cleared Components list also broadens Motorola’s reach into the commercial drone market, where cybersecurity and supply‑chain compliance are increasingly critical. The certification positions Motorola to capture a share of the growing demand for secure, high‑bandwidth communication solutions in both defense and commercial sectors.
