  • Picogrid integrated a Hoverfly Spectre tethered drone with its Legion platform during the Scarlet Dragon exercise.
  • The Hoverfly Spectre provided continuous aerial sensing from 200 feet while Legion connected the sensor feed into a broader operational picture.
  • The demonstration showed persistent low-altitude sensing for threat detection using a tethered UAS and unmanned-systems command platform.

Picogrid builds hardware and software infrastructure for integrating mission-critical systems across defense, government, and industrial environments. Its Legion software, Orion command-and-control interface, and Expeditionary C2 Nodes connect sensors, drones, unmanned platforms, field hardware, and operator workflows into unified mission networks.
