Persistent Systems has spent over a decade developing purpose-built communications solutions for uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) of all sizes, delivering reliable datalinks, command and control (C2), video transmission, and edge computing, even in congested or contested environments.
The company’s UAS team combines integration engineers, mechanical designers, product specialists, and former operators, leveraging real-world experience and partnerships with leading manufacturers such as Shield AI, Lockheed Martin, and Insitu. These collaborators form part of the Wave Relay® Ecosystem, unified by Persistent’s Wave Relay® Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET).
The company’s UAS offering comprises three core elements: Data Link, Ground Control Station (GCS), and Controller/Remote Video Terminal (RVT). Its Blue UAS Certified Wave Relay® MANET enables long-range, interference-resistant connectivity with low-SWaP integration, swarm coordination, and Cloud Relay™ technology for Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) operations via SATCOM, Starlink, or cellular networks.
Persistent’s GCS options, wearable, land-based, maritime, and over-the-horizon, provide mission flexibility and high-throughput links up to 130 miles. The Android-based MPU5 with Rugged Display & Controller consolidates flight control, video, and data sharing into a single interface. Together, these solutions deliver global, resilient communications and enhanced situational awareness, empowering UAS operators to succeed in critical missions.
