Trusted Mission Partner
In production today across special operations, conventional forces, federal law enforcement, and tactical signal programs. Customer names disclosed where authorized; otherwise generalized.
"MANTLE has been a fantastic tool for our on-site provisioners and has greatly expedited our ability to provision devices for the customer."
— FBI Critical Incident Response Group
What it solves
Four operational situations — drawn from real customer engagements across SOF, USAF, federal law enforcement, and Army programs — that the platform was designed to make routine. Customers and operations are generalized for public release.
Scenario · 01
A forward site loses connectivity. The team has spare hardware on hand — but no on-station SMEs, no internet, no enterprise reach-back. The same operators who run the mission have to rebuild the kit themselves, or wait.
What MANTLE makes possible: an operator plugs the spare hardware into a laptop, pulls a pre-staged build from cached playbooks, and the mission kit comes back online in minutes — fully configured, fully operational.
Scenario · 02
Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls. RHEL servers. TAK and RF distribution. Cloud reach-back for a shared common operating picture. The traditional path is hundreds of pages of configuration guides and an eight-person team over four days.
What MANTLE makes possible: the same complete stack stood up in minutes, executed by communicators with no prior platform experience.
Scenario · 03
A thousand-plus mission Android devices need to be in operators' hands by month-end — each validated, app-configured, security-hardened, and identical to the last. Manual staging would burn a staging team for weeks.
What MANTLE makes possible: bench-by-bench staging becomes a single repeatable workflow that scales across multiple sites, integrates with existing MDM and identity systems, and runs whether connected or disconnected.
Scenario · 04
A new release lands. Every fielded kit in the program needs to reflect it by start of business. The SMEs who built the original systems are working other priorities. Repeatability isn't a nice-to-have; it's the contract.
What MANTLE makes possible: zero-day automation. Builds and rebuilds on the same day software releases, against a validated baseline, across the full fleet — without flying experts to every site.
The Platform
MANTLE removes friction across the entire deployment lifecycle — from hardware-agnostic bare-metal provisioning to mobile device activation, centralized fleet management, and enterprise workflow orchestration.
The local execution engine for Day-0 and Day-1 activation. Automates infrastructure provisioning, OS rollout, and service-layer configuration to bring up mission-ready systems in minutes — even in disconnected, degraded, intermittent, or limited environments.
Extends the platform to end-user devices — mission phones and tablets configured beyond MDM enrollment to include OS settings, application installation, and deep operational configuration. Runs in connected or disconnected staging.
Centrally orchestrates reachable MANTLE deployments worldwide. Distributes assets, triggers automated provisioning, integrates with enterprise identity and MDM systems, and gives operators fleet-level visibility and governance.
Automates the enterprise and cloud workflows that gate every deployment — orchestrating access, approvals, PKI and certificate management, readiness validation, and dependency coordination before edge systems are ever touched.
Real-World Use Cases
Approved customer engagements with measured before-and-after outcomes. Numbers are taken directly from the MANTLE 2026 product slick.
A USAF organization used MANTLE to automate the deployment of a complex expeditionary comms system: Cisco routers / switches / firewalls (SIPR & NIPR), RHEL servers, TAK video / data distribution, and Azure reach-back for a shared COP.
Before MANTLE
After MANTLE
A US Army unit required rapid provisioning of 2,000+ Android devices with validated TAK, security, and mission app configurations. Traditional one-at-a-time staging was unsustainable for a small team with minimal experience during surge requirements.

What MANTLE Replaces
Every traditional edge deployment burns time across the same six layers. MANTLE collapses the middle four into a single guided workflow — leaving operators where they belong, on the mission.
Where It Runs
The same platform deploys across the surfaces your mission already uses. No re-tooling, no fork.
