Proxy_6 Labs was founded by two retired Marines who spent their careers watching communications become the weak link in distributed operations.

Kris McGar, Co-Founder. Retired USMC infantry officer and former Red Cell Team Lead at the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, where adversarial analysis kept pointing to the same vulnerability: communications. He has since supported EW and counter-UAS test and evaluation in the field.

Grant Myrick, Co-Founder. Retired USMC Master Sergeant and Communications Maintenance Marine who spent his final three years at Marine Forces Systems Command shaping future Marine Corps communications requirements.

Where P6 Mesh started. With a borrowed MANET radio and off-the-shelf parts, Kris built a two-node mesh-over-satellite link and flew a drone from shore, handing control mid-flight to a teammate aboard a vessel 60 miles offshore, then taking it back. P6 Mesh grew out of that test: resilient, self-contained communications for teams operating at the edge.
