Insights
Mobilicom secures strategic defense contract, expanding relationship with Israeli Tier-1 contractor and positioning for substantial international orders.
Mobilicom's latest design win with a major Israeli defense contractor represents a significant expansion of their product integration strategy. The selection of their Ground Control Stations (GCS) for Remote Control Weapons Systems (RCWS) builds upon an existing relationship where Mobilicom's SkyHopper datalinks were already integrated into other defense platforms.
The 10" Maxi Controller Pro has reached the critical final stage of field operational testing with the Israeli Ministry of Defense—a substantial validation milestone. This rugged tactical controller is specifically engineered to support drone and robot operations with various payloads in challenging environments, featuring real-time HD video capabilities and daylight-readable viewing.
This contract demonstrates several strategic advantages. First, it shows Mobilicom's ability to cross-sell additional product lines to different divisions within the same customer organization. Second, it validates their end-to-end solutions approach in the defense sector. Third, passing rigorous Israeli military testing would position the system favorably for international markets.
The progression pattern here is clear: successful testing leads to domestic deployment in Israel, followed by international sales opportunities. Defense contracts typically follow this model, with initial smaller orders potentially leading to substantial volume production. While specific financial details aren't disclosed, defense technology adoption frequently follows this pattern of testing-to-scale, with international sales representing the largest potential revenue stream.

The RCWS platform is expected to be sold and deployed in Israel and international markets with potential for large scale production orders
Palo Alto, California, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobilicom Limited (Nasdaq: MOB, MOBBW), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced that one of Israel’s largest defense contractors, and current Mobilicom Tier-1 customer, has selected the Company’s Ground Control Stations (GCS) to support its Remote Control Weapons Systems (RCWS). This design win marks a cross-sale and product expansion with the customer, which has already integrated Mobilicom’s SkyHopper datalinks into its other mission critical defense platforms.
Mobilicom’s rugged 10” Maxi Controller Pro is a tactical mobile controller/GCS designed to support drone and robot operations with various payloads. It is fully integrated with the Tier-1 customer’s RCWS, and currently in the final stage of field operational testing with the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
“The selection of our GCS underscores the strength of our long-standing partnership with this valued customer and the effectiveness of our end-to-end solutions strategy. This is another Mobilicom product line selected and sold into different divisions of this Israeli Tier-1 defense contractor. We believe that each design win is a critical building block toward high volume production scale orders from our customers around the globe,” said Oren Elkayam, Mobilicom’s CEO and Founder.
“Reaching the final field operational testing stage for this RCWS platform with the Israeli Ministry of Defense is a significant milestone. We expect the next step to be deployment of the systems in Israel, followed by potential for international sales. We look forward to scaling production should the system be formally adopted,” Elkayam concluded.
The 10” Maxi Controller Pro is designed to meet the highest standards and provide an effective solution in the most challenging and complex conditions. The Company believe that it is the perfect choice for air and ground missions due to the real-time HD video and broadband data content transmitting capabilities and daylight-readable viewing by single or multiple users simultaneously.
