Ditto, a data platform company, has partnered with Performance Drone Works (PDW) to put its Propagate software on PDW's C100 Group 2 small Uncrewed Aircraft System (sUAS). The deal was announced on October 30, 2026. Propagate lets any commercial Android phone or tablet route a drone's sensor data across multiple tactical radio links. That task previously needed custom Android devices, which are costly and in short supply. Ditto demonstrated the software in an experiment run under the US Army's Program Manager UAS. A device received a drone's sensor payload over a radio link and routed it to a receiving application. "Propagate was built to unlock the scale of true COTS End User Devices," said Eric Hanft, Ditto's senior vice president of public sector.

Ditto, an Atlanta-based mobile database company, has named Matt Lohman chief commercial officer. He will lead sales, partnerships, and customer growth. Ditto's platform keeps apps running during internet outages. Its customers include Chick-fil-A and Delta Air Lines. The company has raised $136 million, including an $82 million Series B last year. It has about 30 employees in Atlanta, having moved its centre of gravity from San Francisco to the city's Eastside Beltline.
