This strategic collaboration aims to provide advanced wireless networking capabilities to support the rapid deployment of reconnaissance capabilities for platoons.
Driving Innovation in the SRR Program
Teal Drones is one of the select vendors competing in the SRR Tranche 2, which the U.S. Army has confirmed as the final tranche of the SRR program. The winning vendor(s) will be responsible for delivering a rucksack-portable sUAS that offers platoons reliable and quickly deployable reconnaissance capabilities. By partnering with Doodle Labs, Teal Drones aims to equip its SRR prototype with state-of-the-art wireless networking capabilities that meet and exceed the Army’s requirements.
George Matus, Founder and CEO of Teal Drones, expressed confidence in the company’s ability to deliver a prototype that meets the Army’s stringent standards. He emphasized Teal’s commitment to leveraging the expertise of its technology partners, stating, “Our strategy revolves around collaborating with the best technology partners available, and Doodle Labs is an industry leader in wireless networking solutions.”
Empowering Secure and Long-Range Data Transmission
Doodle Labs specializes in producing industrial-grade wireless networking solutions, and its collaboration with Teal Drones marks another significant milestone. By integrating Doodle Labs’ Helix Mesh Rider Radio into Teal’s SRR prototype, the system will have the capability to transmit thermal imagery, AES-256 encrypted video, and other high-bandwidth data reliably back to a ground station located over three miles away. The Mesh Rider Radio, equipped with FIPS 140-3 certified encryption, ensures the protection of sensitive data and flight control functionality even in contested environments.
Ashish Parikh, Vice President of Business Development at Doodle Labs, expressed excitement about the integration of their technology into Teal’s SRR prototype. He emphasized the opportunity to demonstrate how Doodle Labs’ wireless networking solutions can deliver and safeguard critical data for warfighters.
