Doodle Labs, a leading provider of wireless communication solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with drone manufacturers supplying the Ukraine defense forces. By equipping them with the cutting-edge Helix Mesh Rider Radio, Doodle Labs aims to address the critical challenges faced by the Ukrainian UAS industry, enabling greater operational efficiency and resilience against adversarial threats. 

Ukrainian defense forces have long struggled with the formidable challenges posed by Russian interference and the demanding terrain conditions. Russian forces have frequently employed jamming techniques to disarm and down drones, posing a significant threat to national security.  

Varied and unpredictable terrain further exacerbates the complexities of UAS operations. Additionally, the shortage of component suppliers with extended lead times has impeded the industry’s ability to keep up with the growing demand for essential equipment.

Doodle Labs’ Helix Mesh Rider Radio represents a groundbreaking solution that directly addresses these challenges. With its advanced mesh networking capabilities and robust design, the Helix Mesh Rider Radio ensures reliable and secure communications between drones, ground control stations, and other networked devices. By establishing a resilient wireless network, the Ukrainian defense forces can now operate UAS in the face of Russian jamming techniques with significantly reduced vulnerabilities.

The Helix Mesh Rider Radio was developed in part with sponsorship from the US Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit for the Blue UAS program. The radio employs state-of-the-art technology, including validated FIPS 140-3-level encryption and patented band-switching capabilities, enabling secure and reliable communication in the face of jamming attempts. Its advanced mesh networking capabilities ensure seamless connectivity, even in demanding and unpredictable environments. UAVs deployed in Ukraine with Mesh Rider Radio onboard gain tactical teams enhanced situational awareness, extended operational range, and unparalleled resilience against hostile interferences. 

The radio’s exceptional range and throughput enable seamless long-distance communications, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity across vast areas of operation. Doodle Labs’ dedication to timely delivery ensures that Ukrainian drone manufacturers have access to critical equipment without delays. 

“We are thrilled to support the Ukrainian defense forces and their drone manufacturers with our Helix Mesh Rider Radio,” said Ashish Parikh, VP Business Development for Doodle Labs. “Our state-of-the-art wireless communication solution is designed to empower UAS operations, enhancing their capabilities while providing robust resilience against adversarial threats. We believe that our partnership will contribute significantly to the national security objectives of Ukraine.” 

Doodle Labs remains committed to innovation and excellence in wireless communication technologies. By collaborating with Ukrainian drone manufacturers, the company reaffirms its mission to enable advanced UAS capabilities and safeguard critical operations.
