NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Persistent Systems,
LLC ("Persistent") announced today that General Dynamics Land
Systems ("GD"), a business unit of General Dynamics, has joined the
Wave Relay® Ecosystem.
GD will incorporate Persistent's Wave Relay® mobile ad hoc
network (MANET) technology into their Multi-Utility Tactical
Transport (MUTT) vehicle, an unmanned, controllerless small-unit
robotic follower. Integrated via the MPU5 smart radio, the Wave
Relay® MANET will be the data link for command and control, payload
control, and HD video streaming.
"Persistent is proud to have been selected as the datalink and
communications solution for General Dynamics Land Systems," said
Nick Naioti, Vice President of
Business Development for Persistent. "The communication link for
UGV's is critical to the warfighter, and the MPU5 will provide
General Dynamics Land Systems the range, throughput and expansion
capabilities they need for reliable C2 and future sensor
payloads."
The Wave Relay® Ecosystem is an alliance of industry-leading
companies using Wave Relay® MANET radios in their products.
GD's MUTT platform will work seamlessly with all other Wave Relay®
MANET-enabled products, connecting all warfighters to every system
and sensor on the network.
"We are confident in the MPU5's ability to support our products
and meet the needs of the warfighter in the field," says
Phil Cory, Director of Robotics for
General Dynamics Land Systems. "Incorporating the Wave Relay® MANET
technology into our system provides the end users with the trusted
connectivity they need no matter what the environment."
