Mission-Ready Compliance & Standards

BotBlox provides the digital backbone for secure, compliant defense architectures. We eliminate the supply chain risk associated with foreign-sourced COTS hardware.

NDAA Section 889 Compliant

All BotBlox "NDAA" and "USA" series modules are fully compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Our supply chain is vetted to ensure no banned components from covered entities (Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, etc.) are present in your signal path. We also make available the BoMs for our NDAA and USA made boards available to customers (after signing an non-disclosure agreement), so they can verify our claims.

Made in USA Options

For TAA compliance and sensitive programs requiring domestic manufacturing, we offer Country of Origin: USA variants of our core gigabit switches. Manufactured by us, BotBlox, in our Brooklyn-based lab, to meet Buy American Act requirements.

MIL-STD Readiness

Our Rugged Series is engineered to meet or exceed the following environmental standards when integrated into a suitable chassis:

  • MIL-STD-810G: Temperature, Vibration, and Shock.

  • MIL-STD-461G: EMI/EMC (Low noise floor for radio-silent operations).

  • MIL-STD-1275E: Surge protection for 28V military vehicle power systems.

The Tactical Advantage: SWaP-C

Modern warfare is defined by distributed lethality and smaller, cheaper unmanned assets. BotBlox enables the "Attritable ONE" concept by reducing the Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) of the network layer.

Feature Operational Benefit
1" Footprint Fits inside soldier-worn hubs, micro-drones, and smart munitions.
Passive Cooling No fans to fail in sandy or dusty environments (IP67 capable).
Fast Boot Time Switch logic initializes in <2 seconds for rapid system deployment.

Application Vectors

1. Soldier Systems (Nett Warrior)

Wearable C4I Hubs. Our unhoused modules are small enough to embed within tactical vests and battery packs, connecting End User Devices (EUDs), tactical radios, and bio-sensors without adding bulk to the soldier's loadout.

2. Loitering Munitions & UAS

Guidance & Telemetry. High-bandwidth gigabit pathways for real-time video processing on drones. Reliability verified for high-G launch shock.

3. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV)

Sensor Fusion. Aggregation of LIDAR, Radar, and thermal streams on robotic mules and disposal robots. Rugged connectors (Molex PicoClasp) withstand continuous terrain vibration.

Program Lifecycle Support

We understand that defense programs run for decades, not months. BotBlox is structured to support long-lifecycle Programs of Record.

  • Locked BOMs: We offer fixed Bill of Materials for production runs to ensure zero variation between lots.

  • Obsolescence Management: We provide 5+ year lifecycle guarantees and Last Time Buy (LTB) notifications.

  • Custom Carrier Boards: For Tier 1 integrators, we can license our reference designs or produce custom form-factor carrier boards to fit non-standard avionics bays.

Trusted by the Defense Industrial Base

BotBlox hardware is currently deployed in systems by leading Prime Contractors and DoD research labs.
