NEW YORK, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Persistent
Systems, LLC ("Persistent") announced today that it has entered
into a five-year partnership with Raytheon Company (NYSE:
RTN). Raytheon will incorporate Persistent's Wave
Relay® MANET technology into Raytheon's family of
manned and unmanned systems and sensors, creating a true
battlefield network. Persistent is proud to have been selected as
Raytheon's MANET communication solution out of the many
commercially available MANET solutions.
"Over the next 5 years, the battlefield will experience a
transformational infusion of autonomy, collaborative behaviors,
swarming, and artificial intelligence. A scalable, dynamic,
peer-to-peer communication system with edge computing will provide
the foundation on which these technologies will be built," said
John Hobday, of Raytheon Advanced
Concepts.
Integration has already begun across a number of Raytheon
platforms. Persistent's Embedded Module is easy to integrate and
provides tremendous capability, enabling Raytheon to accelerate
their development efforts and to bring cutting-edge products to
market faster.
"Persistent's vision is to empower the soldier via the network.
The real winner today is the soldier on the ground. As industry
leaders, such as Raytheon, incorporate Wave Relay®
technology into their systems and sensors, the soldiers gain
massively increased capability without having to carry any
additional weight," said Herbert
Rubens, CEO of Persistent. "The advanced systems that
Raytheon is developing will improve situational awareness, protect
our soldiers, and make them more effective."
