Bastion’s Pathfinder scout prototypes entered a partner training unit’s evaluation syllabus in September 2021, focusing on low silhouette, remote weapon station drills, and silent-watch endurance.
Crews logged dash-speed runs, mine-blast seat comfort notes, and BMS node reliability—feedback that reshaped the 2022–2025 prototype iterations now listed in the catalog.
Bastion field engineers embedded with the unit for six weeks, practicing the company’s early habit of “fix on the range, not in the brochure.”
The trials also tested Clarity mast kits and early LinkGrid radios—showing how Bastion already wanted sensors and C2 to travel with the hull.
