The Wave Relay MANET

The Wave Relay MANET is a dynamic routing algorithm that delivers reliable, fast, and highly scalable connectivity – the heart and soul of Persistent’s networking devices.

Our technology transforms UAVs, UGVs, cameras, sensors, and people into a global fabric of connectivity to stream uninterrupted audio, video, and data even in difficult urban, subterranean, mountainous, or maritime environments.

With a single device, warfighters and first responders get real-time knowledge to make the informed, split-second decisions necessary to complete their mission and return safely.

In Part 2, the team moves into the FINEX—bringing together everything established during the workup and employing it across the full mission. MPU5s provide the mobile ad hoc network at the tactical edge, while Cloud Relay connects distributed elements across cellular, satellite, and terrestrial infrastructure. Live video from inside the shoot house, drone ISR, team locations, and mission data are all shared across the force in real time. The result isn’t just more information. It’s getting the right information to the people who need it while the mission is unfolding.

In this episode of Max Gain, Persistent Systems supported a Forge Concepts full mission profile at Gryphon Group by connecting personnel, sensors, live video, and command-and-control systems across three separate locations. The architecture combined multiple MPU5s with two Starlink gateways and cellular gateways operating across AT&T and Verizon. Wave Relay created the self-forming, self-healing local MANET, while Cloud Relay extended the network beyond line of sight across the available cellular, satellite, and terrestrial connections. This isn’t a traditional primary-and-backup system waiting for one connection to fail. The network continuously evaluates every available route and uses the most optimal path at that moment. Any gateway can provide an exit, allowing traffic to move across the cleanest available path as network conditions change. During the event, live shoot-house video and drone ISR feeds moved across the network into a shared real-time mapping and mission-planning display. Personnel operating from different locations were able to access the same video, position data, and operational information as the scenario developed. The full mission profile demonstrated network throughput, gateway diversity, beyond-line-of-sight connectivity, live video distribution, and interoperability under realistic conditions. It also allowed Forge Concepts to establish SOPs, conduct dry runs, and use live-streamed operations for immediate training feedback. Not backup. Not failover. Continuous path optimization across one network.

Picking up where the last MFF equipment infil video left off. After jumping in dirt bikes, Boston Dynamics’ Spot, and the rest of the equipment, the team stayed in Arizona for a few more days of training. This time, Hailey joined them for her first tandem skydive and got a slightly different introduction to the Wave Relay network. We also included more of the live helmet cam feed in this video. The video feeds were encoded and transmitted by MPU5s over the network, from the guys in the air to the team on the ground in real time. The point wasn’t just to stream a skydive. It was another opportunity to show how the network stays connected under heavier bandwidth applications while people, equipment, and robotic systems are all in motion. Hailey got her first tandem. We got another chance to test the network. Everyone went home with all of their equipment. #WaveRelay #PersistentSystems #MFF #MOHOC #manet For more info on the Wave Relay® MANET, check us out at https://bit.ly/1FiPrO6 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2UXaBg7 Follow Us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/36B7K5E Follow Us on Linkedin: http://bit.ly/2N7vwd Follow Us on X: http://bit.ly/2BBW4PI Skydive AZ with Lujan | MAX GAIN

Green light, Go. Military Free-Fall as an infiltration capability requires night time proficiency. Dispersed stack, low visibility, unknown and unmarked DZ. Communication is vital. The MPU5 and ATAK help bridge those gaps in communication providing the end-user operator information and clarity in periods of darkness. . Position awareness isn’t just a “nice-to-have” at 0200. It’s what helps ensure the linkup happens at the right place, on time. . Darkness changes the jump. It doesn’t change the network. Same reliability any time, any place, any altitude. . Full Episode in the Max Gain Playlist. Night-Time Military Free-Fall Infil | MAX GAIN Highlights

​@ForwardObservations brought us to Eloy, Arizona, for a specialized tandem equipment course built around the SG-7 and other Paratec systems designed to carry specialized and non-standard tandem loads in freefall. Throughout the course, jumpers worked through the full process of integrating, rigging and flying equipment that you don't normally see leave an aircraft. The loads changed from jump to jump and included K9s, electric dirt bikes—including a massive @stark_future VARG—oversized equipment cases and @BostonDynamics Spot. Paratec SG-7, G-Loc, K9F and SLG-113 systems were used across the different configurations. All of the equipment harnesses and parachute systems used for the heavy tandem loads were Paratec. Legion Airborne—the military side of Firebird—parachute systems were also used throughout the course. The training covered equipment integration, aircraft exits, freefall, deployment, canopy flight and landing with specialized tandem loads during day and nighttime HAHO operations. Scotty Wood with 702 Solutions also now holds the title for being the first to tandem in an unmanned quadruped. We were there to provide the Wave Relay network supporting the course. The equipment changed from jump to jump. The requirement to keep the air and ground elements connected didn’t. Watch till the end for a surprise appearance. More on that later.
