AeroVironment's unmanned ground vehicles to use Persistent
Systems mobile ad hoc network as preferred network for
platforms
NEW
YORK, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Persistent
Systems, LLC ("Persistent"), a leader in mobile ad hoc networking
(MANET), announced today that AeroVironment's unmanned ground
vehicles (UGV) business has joined Persistent's Wave Relay®
Ecosystem.
The Ecosystem is a growing industry alliance of unmanned
aircraft systems (UAS), UGVs, and sensor companies all utilizing
Persistent's Wave Relay® MANET as their preferred network
for command-and-control and communications functions.
"We are very excited to have AeroVironment's UGVs join the
Ecosystem," said Nick Naioti, Senior
VP for Business Development for Persistent Systems. "In building
the networked battlefield, we are providing the warfighter with
increased situational awareness while also reducing size, weight,
and power."
At the core of the Ecosystem, the Wave Relay® MANET
enables tactical teams to receive critical information from
unmanned systems and their sensors which facilitates improved
decision making, increasing both soldier safety and
effectiveness.
According to the agreement between the two companies, the
following UGVs will incorporate Persistent's MANET hardware:
- telemax™ EVO PRO;
- telemax™ EVO HYBRID;
- telemax™ EVO PLUS;
- tEODor™ EVO; and
- EVO Upgrade Kit.
These ruggedized, all-terrain UGVs perform a variety of
dangerous missions, including explosive ordnance disposal (EOD),
hazardous materials handling (HAZMAT) and chemical, biological,
radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threat assessment.
"Persistent has established itself in the market as a network
provider that delivers extended range, high throughput and
robustness against radio interference, all of which are critically
important to our customers' life-saving missions," said
Brian Young, AeroVironment vice
president and product line general manager for UGVs.
In addition, Wave Relay® MANET gives companies the
opportunity to move beyond simple point-to-point solutions and
build whole constellations of connected air and ground assets,
Naioti said.
