Rajant Demonstrates Adaptive Multi-Band Mesh Networking at U.S. Army Project Convergence Capstone 6

Rajant Corporation recently announced its participation in Project Convergence Capstone 6 (PC-C6), a 10-day U.S. Army event held at Fort Irwin, California. PC-C6 brought together approximately 10,000 participants from across the Joint force, multinational allies and partners, and industry to experiment with emerging technologies in complex, realistic scenarios. The event focused on the continued validation of the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control architecture at division scale.

Working with the DEVCOM C5ISR Center during the experimentation, Rajant's technologies directly supported the 11 Armored Cavalry Regiment (Blackhorse) with its Mesh-Over-Everything approach. This utilized the wireless FE1 Peregrine BreadCrumb® radio operating in L-, S-, and C-bands, a third-party V-band system, and 5G. Rajant’s InstaMesh® protocol dynamically handled switching between bands and waveforms on a packet-by-packet basis without user intervention. Transmit power was also adjusted dynamically for improved low probability of intercept (LPI) and low probability of detection (LPD), while enhanced electronic-warfare handling was enabled.

Rajant also demonstrated its SLP-1025 SlipStream software-defined networking solution, extending the mesh over third-party 5G modems and linking it with the tactical network. David Acker, Vice President of Technology at Rajant, stated that PC-C6 is the exact environment where adaptive networking should be exercised alongside other technologies. He emphasized that the value of Mesh-Over-Everything lies not in any single radio or band, but in the ability to bring those paths together and allow InstaMesh to manage them packet-by-packet without user intervention.
