About Rajant Corporation
Rajant Corporation develops wireless mesh networking for mobile industrial, defence and public-safety operations. BreadCrumb radio nodes run the InstaMesh protocol, forming a peer-to-peer Kinetic Mesh network in which each node can maintain multiple simultaneous connections and reroute traffic as vehicles, robots and personnel move.
The architecture carries control, telemetry, video and sensor data without relying on a single fixed access point. Compact radios can be integrated into ground robots, aerial drones, autonomous vehicles and marine systems, while larger nodes extend coverage across mines, ports, energy sites and tactical areas. Rajant also supplies network-management, monitoring and antenna tools for designing and operating deployments.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-06-02 - Market Signal - Rajant selected as Phase 2 qualifier for Drone Dominance Program
Rajant was selected as a Phase 2 qualifier for the U.S. Department of Defense Drone Dominance Program. The programme is led by the Defense Innovation Unit with the Test Resource Management Center and focuses on attritable autonomous systems in contested environments. Rajant will continue developing and demonstrating Kinetic Mesh vehicle-to-vehicle communications for coordinated autonomous operations across air, land and sea.

Rajant launched its Kentucky Defense Manufacturing Innovation Hub expansion project in Morehead, Kentucky. At planned capacity, the facility will support high-volume production of Flying Cowbell tactical FPV drone systems and Unibell brushless motors. The expansion includes a planned 2,000-square-foot certified clean room for future aerospace and satellite assembly opportunities.
Source - 2026-05-21 - Partnership - Rajant Health and Chord Robotics expand Cowbell multi-domain autonomy platform
Rajant Health and Chord Robotics expanded their partnership to combine Cowbell distributed edge compute and networking with Chord's TEMPO collaborative-autonomy software. The integration supports one-to-many control of mixed autonomous fleets operating across air, land and sea. Flying Cowbell is designed to keep compute, applications and autonomy operating across mobile nodes when connectivity is intermittent or infrastructure is unavailable.
