Current State vs.
Future State

Today, multi-domain command and control depends on centralized base stations and mandatory SATCOM links. When a link fails, the network fragments. PULSE replaces this with a distributed, self-healing mesh where every node communicates directly. SATCOM becomes optional.

Guaranteed Messaging
Without SATCOM

Today, distributed systems without servers crash at 20 nodes.

PULSE is a software microservice that guarantees message delivery — essential for distributed computing — across crewed, uncrewed, sensor, and dismount nodes in denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited bandwidth (DDIL) environments.

Two innovations make this possible. The NACK protocol — receivers signal only on missed messages — reduces network overhead by 95 to 99 percent. Beehive dynamic clustering groups nodes into self-healing colonies of 15 to 25, dropping scaling complexity from O(n²) to O(n).

PULSE runs on UDP/multicast. It deploys on the transport infrastructure already at the edge. Integration takes two to four weeks.

Defense
Multi-domain command and control for 1,000+ assets. Compatible with NGC2, TAK, Lattice, JBC-P, and C2FIX. Tested on commercial, public sector, and military radios.
ITS / V2X
Guaranteed vehicle-to-vehicle messaging without the latency penalty of cellular hub-and-spoke. Enables connected infrastructure for autonomous vehicles.
Software-Defined Vehicle
Replace kilometers of copper wiring with a self-healing wireless data mesh inside the vehicle. Faster than CAN bus. Redundant by design.
Edge Computing
Drone swarms, manufacturing, warehouse robotics. Guaranteed delivery at 142 frames per second under 30 to 80 percent burst jamming.
