Our mission is to provide Decision Solutions that adapt to the ever-changing landscape of technology and security. We endeavor to assist decision makers at all echelons of national security in making impactful outcomes that secure our democracy and drive human progress.
By developing cutting-edge solutions in this field, Draper delivers a decisive edge in understanding and adapting to complex environments. These technologies provide real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, enabling commanders to make swift and effective informed decisions. From monitoring enemy movements to identifying potential threats, battlespace awareness technologies serve as the cornerstone of modern warfare strategy, ensuring mission success and safeguarding lives.
Draper’s development of battlespace awareness technologies not only enhances operational efficiency but also strengthens national security. With adversaries constantly evolving their tactics and employing both conventional and unconventional warfare techniques, having a comprehensive understanding of the battlespace is crucial to maintain a competitive edge. Draper leverages user-centered design, advanced sensor systems, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, so military forces can anticipate and proactively mitigate emerging threats. Furthermore, our technologies foster interoperability among different branches of the military and coalition partners, enabling seamless coordination and collaboration in joint operations. In an era defined by rapid technological advancements and evolving security challenges, we understand prioritizing the development of battlespace awareness technologies is essential for staying ahead of the curve to ensure mission success in today's complex geopolitical landscape.
TAK is a specialized tool created to enhance situational awareness for military and first responder personnel. Draper was part of the initial development team for ATAK on Android devices, collaborating with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to design the software and establish its core functionalities. Our contributions extended to WinTak for Windows and the creation of WebTAK, a browser-based capability.
Enhanced Decision Support for Tactical Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Operations (EDS TACO) utilizes the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) platform, CBRN Plug-in and augmented reality (AR) technology to create an immersive training experience. This integrated system enables seamless communication and spatial awareness between AR and Android TAK interfaces without GPS – allowing for indoor tracking and monitoring. Instructors can create simulated scenarios by placing virtual reality sources and/or place live sources across a real environment for trainees to interact with, providing them with real-time sensor readings as they move throughout the space. Trainees view through the HoloLens II while instructors can track multiple trainees’ movements from a single ATAK interface.
By developing advanced capabilities across the kill chain, Draper can significantly reduce decision-making timelines and enhance operational tempo. From sensor integration and target acquisition to weapon deployment and damage assessment, Draper optimizes each phase of the kill chain enabling commanders to swiftly and decisively achieve mission. Moreover, enhanced kill chain’s efficiency minimizes collateral damage and maximizes the probability of mission success, ultimately saving lives and resources on the battlefield.
Investing in the optimization of kill chain timeline is not just about achieving tactical superiority but also about gaining a strategic advantage in today's evolving security landscape. By leveraging emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and networked systems, Draper provides military forces with automated processes, improved target recognition, and increased accuracy of engagements. This proactive approach to warfare enables commanders to maintain the initiative, disrupt adversary activities, and shape the battlespace according to their objectives. Furthermore, by integrating intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets seamlessly across the kill chain, Draper can deliver a holistic understanding of the operational environment, enabling enhanced situation awareness and more informed and effective decision-making at all levels. In an era defined by rapid technological advancements and peer adversaries, enhancing kill chain efficiency is paramount for maintaining military superiority and achieving mission success in today's complex and dynamic security environment.
By developing robust capabilities in this domain, Draper ensures our armed forces can effectively anticipate and adapt to emerging threats, ensuring mission success in a rapidly evolving global landscape. Adaptive Force Planning allows commanders to tailor their forces, resources, and tactics to specific mission requirements, optimizing the allocation of assets and maximizing operational effectiveness. From conducting rapid force deployments to adjusting operational plans in real-time, Draper empowers military leaders to maintain the initiative and outmaneuver adversaries with precision and agility.
Investing in Adaptive Force Planning capabilities is not just about responding reactively to immediate challenges but also about proactively shaping the battlespace according to strategic objectives. By providing advanced performance measurement and modeling and simulation tools, Draper aids military planners in assessing various scenarios, identifying potential risks, and devising flexible response strategies to mitigate threats effectively. Draper furthers our Adaptive Force Planning solutions by building in interoperability among different branches of the military and coalition partners to foster synergy and collaboration in joint operations, enabling seamless integration of capabilities across domains and mission sets. In an era characterized by uncertainty and complexity, Draper’s technologies serve as a force multiplier, empowering armed forces to maintain operational superiority and achieve mission success in the face of evolving security challenges.
