NGC2 transport follow-on: integration with newly awarded apps
Persistent Systems | Govt | EXISTING POSITION | Source research 11 October 2026
Dated evidence
Persistent already received $121.5M NGC2 prototype orders; Oct 2026 Army applications scaling creates adjacent integration needs.
Potential technical fit
Wave Relay may require new APIs, gateway features or operational interoperability with NGC2 apps; not a new Army customer introduction.
Relevant contact and routing
Persistent’s existing Army CPE C3N customer and company BD Jon Patrick named Feb 2026.
Concrete next steps
Target a distinct funded bridge effort between new apps and existing MANET transport, with formal Army change requirements.
Reasons not to pursue yet
Existing relationship and competitor integration process; major novelty risk.
Additional verification needed
verify exact product model/specs; identify engineering decision maker through sourced current record; establish if the work package is actually open; find fresh government/prime primary sources; corroborate integration pathway, competing incumbents and the contact route. If any gate fails, hold the brief.
