Smith Myers Communications has today (Wednesday) announced plans to offer its ARTEMIS airborne cellular detection and geolocation system in a Modular Payload compliant configuration, enabling seamless plug-and-play integration with compatible unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other unmanned systems.
The new configuration is designed to align with the Modular Payload standard developed by the US Department of Defense to promote interoperability, flexibility, and rapid technology integration across defence systems. The capability will enable ARTEMIS to be deployed on a wider range of compatible platforms with minimal integration effort.
This enhancement will significantly expand deployment options for defence, security, emergency response and search-and-rescue organisations seeking to leverage proven cellular detection and geolocation capabilities. This will in turn help operators extend their operational reach, improve situational awareness, and reduce risk to personnel operating in hazardous, remote or otherwise inaccessible environments.
Andrew Munro, Managing Director of Smith Myers Communications, said: “Providing ARTEMIS in a Modular Payload compliant configuration will significantly broaden the ways organisations can deploy this critical capability. Operators will be able to integrate ARTEMIS more quickly and cost-effectively across a wider range of platforms, accelerating deployment while benefiting from the system’s proven ability to detect and geolocate mobile devices in support of mission-critical operations.”
The new offering reflects Smith Myers’ ongoing commitment to delivering interoperable, mission-ready technologies that help organisations locate people faster, make more informed decisions, and conduct operations more safely and effectively.
Visitors to APSCON 2026 can learn more about the new Modular Payload-compliant ARTEMIS configuration at Booth 726.
