National Guard to include Legion and EchoGuard radar integration in Northern Strike 2025, following other deployments across multiple locations worldwide.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Picogrid announced an integration with Echodyne, a leader in advanced radar systems for base defense, ISR, and counter-UAS. By joining Picogrid's partner ecosystem, high fidelity data from Echodyne radars will be readily available to any customer of Legion, the company's API-first data platform unifying disparate elements into a secure, common operating picture. Echodyne's EchoGuard radar is immediately available in Legion, with EchoShield available later this year.
Modern threats—such as small drones, glide bombs, and ground intruders—are increasingly difficult to detect with traditional sensors, especially in low-visibility conditions or complex terrain. EchoGuard, Echodyne's most compact radar, solves this challenge by detecting, tracking, classifying, and directing effectors against a wide range of threats—including drones, vehicles, and personnel—at ranges well beyond traditional optical sensors.
"Our military and commercial customers use Legion with Echodyne radars in more and more contexts. Our delivered the integrated capability at global locations ranging from the Pacific to Europe," said Jake Jeffries, Partnership Lead at Picogrid.
Next, military partners will see EchoGuard operating within the Legion environment during Northern Strike 2025 at the National All-Domain Warfighting Center (NADWC), following other successful deployments at Scarlet Dragon, USSOCOM Technical Experiment, and permanent operating locations.
At Northern Strike, Legion will serve as the mission middleware—ingesting, processing, and distributing EchoGuard radar data in real time to any connected system, such as the Android Tactical Assault Kit. The integration supports live threat visualization, automated tasking, and multi-sensor fusion, providing military operators with a better view of the battlespace.
"Echodyne is always ready to support faster adoption of our high fidelity radar data into systems of systems," said Jeff Phillips, VP DOD & IC Solutions at Echodyne. "Legion is a secure, flexible, extensible architecture that gives the military customer more options for mission success."
Picogrid is working hard to keep pace with demand for partner integrations. A limited number of Q3 onboarding slots remain—interested companies can apply here.
