Picogrid
Adding high-performance Expeditionary C2 Nodes that run AI inference, video processing, and sensor fusion directly at the tactical edge.
The product
Legion integration software, Orion command-and-control software, and rugged Expeditionary C2 Nodes that connect sensors, drones, vehicles, and mission applications. The new ECN HX series adds substantially more local AI compute so units can process drone video and sensor data without relying on reachback connectivity.
The thesis
Modern forces often buy capable sensors and effectors that cannot share data quickly. Picogrid targets that integration bottleneck without requiring customers to replace every existing vendor system.
How it runs
Productized hardware-software integration platform deployed by forward engineers, with APIs and edge nodes that onboard third-party systems into existing command architectures.
How it earns
Inferred: government software, hardware, integration, deployment, and support awards, plus vendor ecosystem partnerships. Public releases identify awards and deployments but do not disclose a complete pricing model.
Why it wins
The ECN HX series combines Picogrid's vendor-neutral integration layer with 7.5 times the AI compute of its standard ECN line. It lets deployed units run heavier inference and sensor-processing workloads locally while preserving the rapid setup and common data flow already demonstrated across multi-vendor Army systems.

Picogrid integrated more than 20 systems into command-and-control applications in a few days using Legion. The architecture connected sensors and Army command systems across company, battalion, and brigade echelons through Expeditionary C2 Nodes at three locations. Scarlet Dragon 26-3 tested the network against 50- and 100-drone swarms.
