TacMesh-Bubble is the next evolution in robotic edge-processing payloads, featuring dual integrated tactical mesh radios on the NVIDIA Orin NX platform. Connect two radios from the same manufacturer — such as S-Band and C-Band bubbles — or mix radios from different manufacturers including any combination of Silvus, Trellisware, Persistent Systems, Domo Tactical, or Doodle Labs. With native ATAK integration, TacMesh-Bubble provides seamless Cursor-on-Target data sharing across the entire tactical network.

Benefits
- Dual radios provide redundancy and simultaneous multi-band operations
- Mix-and-match radio manufacturers to match mission requirements
- Allows teleoperated control over the mesh network for superior range — operator can be miles away
- Operators and vehicles form a secure, private, isolated network that can be instantly deployed in any environment
- Powered by robot platform
- Supports commercial payloads including Lidar, Radiation/Chemical Detectors, IR Cameras with ability to produce overlayed 3D renderings in real-time
- Ability to run containerized applications for third-party inspection algorithms such as object or anomaly detection
- Designed for expandability to support emerging ground vehicles and sensors
Power
- Input Power: 12V
- Peak power consumption: 130W
- 10W Persistent Systems Wave Relay Radio — 61W
- 10W Silvus Streamcaster Radio — 24W
- NVIDIA Orin NX GPU at Max Load — 20W
- Leica BLK Lidar — 25W
- Radio values are instantaneous power draw at Peak Transmit; average consumption (duty cycle dependent) is much lower
- Any other radio combination will result in lower power consumption
