Why Mesh Rider

Mesh Rider is the communications architecture behind Doodle Labs radios, designed to keep autonomous systems, vehicles, sensors and operators connected as missions move across range, terrain and changing spectrum.

Platform

Built for autonomy in motion

Flexible architecture

Reconfigurable RF architecture

Mesh Rider’s patented RF front end supports a broad range of frequencies on a common modem architecture, with independent mixers, synthesizers and closed-loop power control for each channel. That gives OEMs more flexibility to meet different spectrum and mission requirements without redesigning the comms stack.

Waveform

Waveform built for private networks

Mesh Rider builds on mature 802.11, COFDM and IP networking, then adapts them for mobile, mission-critical networks with narrower channel options, tuned power and sensitivity, and a low-latency path for command-and-control traffic.

Electronic warfare resilience

Link assurance delivers EW resilience across the stack

Mesh Rider combines spectrum awareness, RF adaptation and mesh routing so the network can respond as interference, topology and link conditions change. Additional capabilities such as Sense EW and Dual Radio extend that resilience for more contested environments.

Dynamic

Built to evolve

Mesh Rider is designed for the dynamic mission profiles and integration requirements of unmanned systems OEMs. As mission parameters and objectives change, our platform architecture continuously evolves to meet our partners’ changing needs.

Mesh routing

Self-forming, self-healing mesh routing

Mesh Rider radios form a network without relying on fixed communications infrastructure.

As drones, vehicles and operators move, leave range or rejoin, the mesh automatically finds available paths and redirects traffic.

That allows the network topology to change with the mission instead of forcing the mission to operate around the network.

Software + integration

Software that actively manages the link

Mesh Rider delivers a coordinated stack across radio hardware, networking and software.

Software monitors link conditions, optimizes network behavior and prioritizes command-and-control traffic as conditions change.

Published interfaces also let OEMs bring network data and control directly into their own mission and autonomy systems.

Built for defense programs

Mesh Rider is designed around the procurement and security requirements common to defense and autonomous systems programs.

The portfolio is NDAA Section 889 compliant and Blue UAS Framework approved, with AES-256 encryption and a design intended to remain non-ITAR.

That gives OEMs a communications platform built to move from integration and evaluation into larger defense programs without creating a separate compliance path.
