LGS Innovations, Persistent Systems partner up
LGS Innovations has partnered with Persistent Systems to incorporate Persistent's Wave Relay mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) technology into LGS's portfolio of C4ISR, electronic warfare (EW) and cyber solutions, the company announced on 13 December.
LGS develops communications products, research and development and support services to create advanced solutions in wireless communications, signals processing and analysis, optical networking, photonics, cybersecurity, routing and switching, and spectrum management.
Incorporating Persistent's Wave Relay MANET solution will enable LGS systems to deliver reliable peer-to-peer wireless network connectivity to the last tactical mile – whether in airborne, ground or subterranean environments.
The agreement establishes Persistent's Wave Relay-based products as the preferred solution for LGS's MANET to connect signals intelligence, C4ISR, cyberspace operations and network assurance programmes.
Adrien Robenhymer, VP of business development, Persistent Systems, said: ‘Reducing timeframes for tactical EW operations increases effectiveness and reduces US force exposure, which is a win-win in dynamic situations.
‘Coordinated and distributed operations that put LGS's systems on the dynamic Wave Relay MANET demonstrate how multimodal systems (manned, unmanned) increase precision in hard-to-reach places more than ever before. Our partnership with LGS represents a continuation of our vision of MANET-enabled sensors and architectures into advanced network operations.’
