Tactical Mobile Mesh Networking

A Self-Forming, Self-Healing MANET for Mission-Critical Operations

Modern missions unfold in environments where traditional communications fail, including dense cities, rugged terrain, industrial sites, and contested areas where infrastructure doesn’t exist or cannot be trusted.

Doodle Labs delivers a tactical mobile mesh networking solution engineered for these realities: a MANET that forms instantly, adapts continuously, and keeps teams, vehicles, and machines connected when it matters most.

Our Mesh Rider technology creates a resilient wireless network that moves with the mission, automatically rerouting and healing itself as the environment changes ensuring uninterrupted voice, video, data, and situational awareness across the entire operational footprint.

Built for the Unpredictable

Field operations rarely follow a script. Terrain shifts, obstacles appear, and line-of-sight degrades as teams maneuver. Unlike fixed or preconfigured radios, our MANET behaves like a living system:

• Nodes automatically discover and connect the moment they power on
• Routes are optimized continuously based on real-time link quality
• If a node drops or moves out of range, traffic instantly flows around it
• When a device returns, it reintegrates without manual setup

The result: a communications network that adapts at the speed of the mission, with no need for planning, tuning, or reconfiguration.

A Network That Scales with Your Mission

Whether connecting a small tactical team or a large, distributed fleet, the mesh expands organically:

• Dynamic mesh routing enables reliable performance across dense networks
• Each node acts as both an endpoint and a relay, extending range with every device added
• Voice, video, telemetry, sensor data, and robotics control all share the same resilient backbone

Multiple assets such as soldiers, drones, ground vehicles, sensors, and autonomous machines operate on one cohesive network with shared, real-time situational awareness.

Technical Architecture Designed for Reliability

Under the hood, the system uses a robust, distributed Layer-2 architecture:

• MAC-based ‘Layer 2’ routing eliminates the need for IP configuration
• 2×2 MIMO radios combine spatial diversity and multiplexing for both reliability and speed
• Dual Radio combines two OEM radios into a single, ultra-resilient datalink solution by using multiple frequencies simultaneously
• RSSI and SNR-driven decisions ensure efficient path selection across dynamic environments
• Multi-band support enables flexible spectrum use across global deployments
• Proprietary secure datalinks protect mission-critical information

This architecture ensures deterministic performance even in RF-challenged environments such as steel structures, urban , dense foliage, or urban terrain.

Self-Healing Connectivity in Contentious RF Environments

The mesh network continuously optimizes itself to overcome real-world RF challenges:

• Multipath reflections become usable signal paths, improving reliability
• Route adjustments occur automatically as nodes move
• Dynamic channel width adapts to interference and mission needs
• Automatic reconnection eliminates downtime when devices reappear
• High-gain omni, sector, and directional antenna options tailor performance to each platform

From fast-moving convoys to indoor robot fleets, communication remains stable, clear, and secure.

Unified Communications Across Platforms and Payloads

Our MANET supports a broad range of tactical and industrial applications:

• High-definition video from UAVs and sensors
• Vehicle-to-vehicle relays extending team range
• Real-time telemetry from autonomous machines
• Edge compute payloads such as radar, EW, ELINT, or vision
• Team communications sharing a common operating picture

No matter the mix of assets, everything connects across a single, resilient network — reducing equipment load, simplifying operations, and enhancing coordination.

Built for the contested environments

This solution has proven value across mission-critical sectors:

• Defense and tactical teams needing agile, infrastructure-free coordination
• Mining operations with autonomous trucks carrying thousands of sensors
• First responders navigating unpredictable, obstructed environments
• Warehouses and AMRs operating within steel structures that disrupt traditional radios
• Search and rescue missions where networks must form instantly on site
• Utilities where networks must operate within a steel jungle for oil & gas and Electric substations or need ruggedness for wind farms and offshore application

In every case, the common requirement is the same: a network that adapts as fast as the environment changes.

A Future-Proof Networking Backbone

The tactical mobile mesh solution is designed to grow with evolving missions:

• Modular hardware supports multiple bands in the same form factor
• Industry-standard interfaces enable easy integration with existing systems
• New nodes and new capabilities drop into the network with zero reconfiguration
• Scales across air, ground, and fixed assets with a unified architecture

As requirements expand, the mesh simply expands with them.
