DZMx + MA-DNX

Bringing Tactical Communications to Aviation

Purpose-built for aviation, the Flightcell DZMx integrates Iridium Managed Access-DNX (MA-DNX) to deliver secure beyond-line-of-sight tactical communications across the U.S. Space Force Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) ecosystem.

By extending mission connectivity beyond traditional line-of-sight and terrestrial communications networks, DZMx enables aviation assets to become active participants in a distributed operational network, supporting coordinated decision-making, force visibility, and mission command across air, ground, and command elements.

Why MA-DNX?

Modern operations demand more than voice communications. MA-DNX extends tactical communications to include:

  • Voice

  • Secure messaging

  • File transfer

  • Position Location Information (PLI)

  • Mission coordination

  • Shared situational awareness across geographically dispersed teams.

Integrated with the Flightcell DZMx, MA-DNX transforms aircraft into connected mission nodes, enabling commanders, operators, and deployed personnel to communicate, collaborate, and maintain a common operational picture across distributed operations.

Key DZMx + MA-DNX Benefits

Mission Command & Coordination

Enable secure voice, messaging, file transfer, and data exchange between aircraft, command centers, and deployed forces. Maintain mission continuity and improve coordination across joint, coalition, and distributed operations.

Secure Information Exchange

Share mission-critical messages, files, operational data, and Position Location Information (PLI) securely between air and ground assets. Dual-wrapped AES-256 encryption helps protect sensitive communications and supports operational security requirements.

PACE Communications

Support Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) communications strategies by leveraging satellite, cellular, and IP connectivity pathways. Maintain communications in contested, degraded, denied, or disconnected environments..

Shared Situational Awareness

Provide operators and commanders with real-time aircraft tracking, force visibility, and location sharing to enhance mission awareness and decision-making. Integration with the TAK ecosystem further supports the delivery of a common operational picture across air and ground forces.

Beyond-Line-of-Sight Connectivity

Leverage the global Iridium network to maintain resilient communications and operational connectivity where terrestrial infrastructure or line-of-sight communications are unavailable or unreliable.

Support for U.S Space Force EMSS Program

Flightcell DZMx supports communications and data exchange requirements within the U.S. Space Force Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) ecosystem, providing aviation operators with access to secure, globally available tactical communications capabilities.

Aviation-Optimised Tactical Communications

Unlike ground-focused tactical communications solutions, DZMx is purpose-built for airborne operations. Pilots and mission crews can access secure voice, messaging, tracking, and mission collaboration capabilities through a proven aviation communications platform designed for demanding operational environments.

Trusted Partnership

Flightcell and Iridium combine aviation expertise, resilient satellite connectivity, and next-generation tactical communications capabilities to deliver secure mission connectivity for defense, government, and public safety aviation operators.

Together, DZMx and MA-DNX enable aircraft to operate as connected mission nodes within the broader operational network, supporting mission command, shared situational awareness, and operational coordination across global operations.
