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.
