Persistent Systems — Forterra autonomous fleet: Wave Relay MANET integrations
CALTRIO | PRIME INTELLIGENCE | Source research October 11, 2026
Research qualification
HYPOTHESIS — This is a potential fit, not a verified available subcontract or order.
Company capability
Wave Relay MANET MPU5, Cloud Relay, existing Army NGC2 and Air Force WaRTAK awards.
Dated public signal
Forterra MAUL and Rheinmetall sustainment teams building autonomous vehicles.
Company-specific technical fit
Wave Relay could bridge vehicle-to-controller tactical communications where longer-range/mesh is required, if incumbent radios are not committed.
People and appropriate contact route
Forterra AutoDrive communications lead or American Rheinmetall Project Sustainment RF architecture lead via official corporate route.
Concrete technical pursuit options
Ask exactly who supplies MANET transport and whether Wave Relay is already installed or evaluated.
What could disqualify the lead
Persistent may already be in ecosystem; no open subnet confirmed.
Research 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.
Public source references
Prepared from public information; engineering fit and purchase intent are not established.
