Picogrid creates the hardware/software platform Legion for integrating military products from other companies—from drones to radars, sensors, and software. It combines information from various systems to integrate physical assets, optimize data, and connect to operational tools such as ATAK, Palantir's Maven intelligence system, and other platforms. The company also produces Helios, a portable expeditionary command and control node that provides the physical hardware infrastructure and edge computing to connect various field assets with each other and with Legion, and Portal, a more compact edge computing and networking node that fits in a backpack for dismounted operations. The company partners with giants like Northrop Grumman and startups including CHAOS Industries, CX2, radar maker Echodyne, Skydio, and Palantir.
