Debuting at ILA Berlin 2026, NEMACS, Rohde & Schwarz’ new directional, multi‑link combat‑cloud solution, delivers secure, high‑throughput connectivity for crewed‑uncrewed teaming across all domains.

Rohde & Schwarz has been showcasing its latest breakthrough, the Networked Multipoint Array Communications System (NEMACS), at the ILA Berlin Air Show 2026: A fully networked multi-link combat cloud solution that connects crewed and uncrewed assets across air, land, sea and space while protecting the data stream from detection and interception.

In a world where autonomous and uncrewed platforms alongside crewed assets are becoming the backbone of modern combat, NEMACS delivers an ultra‑secure, ultra‑high‑capacity link that keeps every platform connected, even when the adversary is flooding the spectrum with jamming.

Built around a powerful Communication Management Suite and a family of directional data links spanning C‑Band, KuBand and SATCOM, NEMACS from Rohde & Schwarz creates a resilient, multi‑link mesh that can be routed around interference, stays invisible to hostile sensors (low‑probability‑of‑detection – LPD, and low‑probability‑of‑interception - LPI, ), and guarantees real‑time data flow across air, land, sea and space. The result is a true combat cloud where crewed and uncrewed aircraft, naval ships and ground forces exchange sensor feeds, targeting data and commands without a single point of failure.

Imagine a naval vessel spotting a high‑value target in a heavily jammed corridor. NEMACS instantly streams high‑resolution radar video to a nearby fighter, which then blends the picture with feeds from several UAVs, locks on, and coordinates a strike with a UCAV—all through the same stealthy link. After the engagement, relay drones keep the data highway open for battle‑damage assessment, sending crystal‑clear video back to both the aircraft and the ship. Faster decisions, higher survivability, mission success—no matter how contested the airwaves.

“The launch of NEMACS at ILA 2026 demonstrates our commitment to providing the armed forces of today and tomorrow with a communication backbone that is as agile and resilient as the platforms it connects,” said Andreas Domann, Vice President of Multi‑Domain Communications at Rohde & Schwarz. “By fusing directional technology with a flexible, multi‑domain architecture, we enable commanders to make faster, better‑informed decisions, even when the spectrum is under attack.”

In the operational environment, crewed‑uncrewed teaming is no longer optional, it is essential,” he continued. “Rohde & Schwarz’ solution gives the confidence that data links will survive the most aggressive electromagnetic‑attack environments, keeping assets coordinated and missions on schedule.”
