Solutions Built for Dynamic,Intermittent Networks

IST delivers the software and simulation tools needed to operate with confidence in the most challenging environments — with programmable hardware in development to extend that capability further.

The Missing Layer

Distribution Intelligence for Networks That Can't Afford to Fail

Today's networks know how to move packets. They don't know how to complete missions.

The gap

Classic network architecture stops at moving data between nodes. It assumes connectivity will hold. In contested, intermittent, and hybrid environments, that assumption breaks — and missions stall.

The answer

Distribution Intelligence is the layer that was never built: software that keeps critical information moving until every intended destination receives what it needs.

  6. Physical

Above transport. Below applications. Built for autonomous, DDIL, terrestrial, NTN, and hybrid networks.

Distribution Intelligence — the missing layer linking applications to the network fabric across domains.

What it delivers

  • 01

    Mission Awareness

    Understands what information matters and where it must go.

  • 02

    Adaptive Distribution

    Changes delivery strategy as links appear, fail, or degrade.

  • 03

    Persistent Delivery

    Keeps information moving until every intended recipient receives it.

  • 04

    Cross-Network Intelligence

    Works across terrestrial, satellite, mesh, and hybrid environments.
