Fixed-wing planes were outfitted with modernized payload systems to serve as high-altitude communication relays. In deep valleys or dense jungles, ground rescue teams often lose radio contact with base stations. Fixed-wing assets orbiting high above the canopy "fixed" this by acting as a continuous digital bridge. 2. Advanced ISR Integration
