NOMAD

One secure operational picture

NOMAD is an ecosystem of secure capabilities designed to work together, carrying information from the operator at the tactical edge, through secure networking, to one shared operating picture at HQ. It also works with the systems you already run, on-premise or in the cloud.

The problem

What NOMAD is built to fix

Most operational technology stacks grew one procurement at a time. NOMAD exists to fix what that leaves behind.

  • Fragmented situational awareness

    Legacy systems operate in silos that cannot deliver a complete picture across teams.

  • Slow decision cycles

    Command units rely on legacy tools, causing delays in coordination.

  • Operational complexity

    Modern technology has become complex to onboard and deploy, overwhelming operators.

  • Security vulnerabilities

    Existing platforms often fall short of modern cyber security standards.

The portfolio

Three capability groups

Grouped by where they sit in an operation: with the operator in the field, on the secure link, and at command.

Tactical Edge

Capability for the operator on the ground.

  • IMR (IP Mobile Radio)

    Secure push-to-talk, instant messaging, encrypted voice channels and live location sharing in one place.

  • VideoLink

    Live video and audio streaming from an Android device, background-capable, publishing to any RTMP/RTMPS endpoint.

  • Vixen

    Extends your view of the operation to wherever your team needs it.

  • Reacher

    Keeps deployed equipment under your control, wherever it is.

  • GeoMapper

    An iOS and Android tracking client with live mapping, TAK/Traccar interop, and offline store-and-burst positioning.

  • Blackout In development

    Keeps equipment discreet when discretion matters.

  • CheckMate In development

    Mobile monitoring for lone and dispersed personnel. A missed check-in raises the alarm on its own.

Full capability details are shared in a briefing, under NDA.

Secure Networking

All communications must reach intended destinations securely, with origin and metadata protected against compromise or attribution, while remaining interoperable with trusted systems.

  • Obfuscation

    Global network infrastructure that obfuscates TCP/UDP traffic and disassociates client-server communication across the internet.

  • Gecko VPN

    A modern, lightweight WireGuard-based VPN with a minimal attack surface and modern encryption standards and ciphers.

  • Babel

    A tracking-protocol translation hub that takes in a range of tracking protocols and routes them to the client systems your teams already use.

  • Tile Server

    Self-hosted map tiles for any system that supports a remote tile server, so the operating picture keeps working with no external map dependency.

Situational Awareness

One shared operating picture.

  • Overwatch

    A web-based command and collaboration hub for secure messaging, tracking, geofencing and remote device control, with Video Wall, File Server, Secure VTC and Mapping modules.

  • Apex

    A web-hosted command server for situational awareness. Track, command and raise alarms on every device from the browser.

  • SecOps

    A cross-platform common operating picture with map, radar, AR and video views, with AI-assisted commanding and reporting.

Interoperability

Works with the systems you already run

NOMAD is designed to sit alongside your existing tools and partners' systems, not replace them. Data comes in from, and goes out to, the platforms your teams already use.

  • Tracking

    Protocol translation with Babel

    Takes in a range of tracking protocols and routes them to client systems including TAK, Traccar and Knowmadics.

  • Position sharing

    TAK and Traccar interop

    GeoMapper shares positions with TAK and Traccar, so coalition and partner teams see the same picture.

  • Video

    Standard streaming

    VideoLink publishes to any RTMP or RTMPS endpoint, including video platforms you already operate.

  • Networking

    Built on WireGuard

    Gecko uses the widely adopted WireGuard protocol, with a minimal attack surface and modern encryption standards and ciphers.

  • Deployment

    Your infrastructure or ours

    On-premise, in your own datacentre, or hosted on Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or Digital Ocean.

  • Platforms

    Every device in the operation

    Windows, Android and the web, from handsets in the field to the video wall at HQ.

Outcomes

What NOMAD delivers

  • Total situational awareness in real time

    One unified operational view, supporting voice, messaging, video, location sharing and file transfer.

  • Quicker, more accurate decisions

    Integrated capabilities reduce human error and speed up response, with automation alerts built in.

  • Operational efficiency

    A simple interface and unified data reduce operator burden and training time.

  • Accountable by default

    Detailed logging and reporting, so every action can be reviewed after the event.

The NOMAD ecosystem

Built to fit together

Each capability is designed with the others in mind. Together they behave as one system, not a collection of separate tools.

  • One flow of information

    Voice, messaging, video, location and alerts captured in the field are brought together in one operating picture at command.

  • A common signature and security baseline

    Obfuscation and Gecko protect traffic from the edge to HQ, so every capability inherits a common signature and security baseline.

  • Maps that stay under your control

    Tile Server supplies self-hosted maps to any system that supports a remote tile server, so the shared picture never depends on an outside provider.

  • Start with one, add the rest

    Each capability can be deployed on its own. Add more as your requirement grows, without re-engineering what is already in place.
