▎EW Mesh
Tactical Scalable Mobile Ad-Hoc Network/ TSM
Persistent Systems waveform optimized for high-density, mobile mesh at the tactical edge.
Definition
TSM is a proprietary MIMO mesh waveform fielded on Persistent Systems Wave Relay radios. It is widely deployed across U.S. SOF, the Marine Corps, and allied formations because it scales to hundreds of nodes per subnet, recovers quickly from link loss, and supports simultaneous voice, video, and data. TSM is representative of the modern class of commercial-derived tactical mesh waveforms that have largely displaced legacy SRW and HNW for short-range C2.
