Monitor, Measure & Mitigate: Integrated Solutions for Geohazard Risk

Monitor, Measure & Mitigate: Integrated Solutions for Geohazard Risk

9/8/2025

Geohazards such as slope instability, erosion, settlement, or seepage pose ongoing risks to critical infrastructure. Roads, railways, pipelines, and utility corridors are especially vulnerable to these natural and human-influenced processes, which can evolve silently until sudden failure occurs. Traditional ground surveys provide only periodic... Read More >

Ensure Mission Success With the Deployable Tactical Analytics Kit (DTAK)

James Lewis

In today’s fast-evolving world, operational success hinges on real-time geospatial intelligence and data-driven decisions. Whether it’s responding to natural disasters, securing borders, or executing military operations, having the right tools to integrate and analyze data can mean the difference between success and failure. Enter the Deployable Tactical Analytics Kit (DTAK) – a game-changing solution designed to empower teams with unparalleled situational awareness and actionable intelligence.

 

What Is DTAK?

DTAK is a scalable, modular system that seamlessly integrates the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), advanced geospatial and video analytics, AI-driven insights, and live data streams. Built to adapt to small-scale missions or large, multi-agency operations, DTAK offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the challenges of dynamic environments.

Deployable Tactical Analytics Kit (DTAK) for real-time geospatial intelligence

Key Features of DTAK:

  • Live Data Integration: Combines geospatial and video data from drone, satellite, airborne, and ground-based sensors, with flood maps, troop movements, and more into a unified operational view.

  • Advanced AI Capabilities: AI-powered analytics for real-time anomaly detection, predictive modeling, resource allocation, and other applications.

  • Scalability & Flexibility: A modular design accommodates missions of any size, from single-team deployments to multi-agency coordination.

 

DTAK in Action – Real-World Applications:

 

Military Operations
DTAK can be used on the battlefield to provide real-time intelligence by integrating live drone footage and AI analysis for enhanced situational awareness.

Disaster Response
DTAK can be deployed to prioritize emergency response efforts during disasters. For example, during a hurricane it can combine flood maps with live drone footage, so first responders can quickly identify the hardest hit areas and deliver aid faster and more efficiently.

Border Security
Border protection teams can leverage DTAK to detect potential threats with AI flagged movement patterns along the border that enable authorities to rapidly deploy personnel and prevent illegal crossings.

 

Benefits of DTAK:

  • Real-Time Decision Making: Empower teams with live video feeds and AI insights for immediate, informed actions.

  • Resource Optimization: Focus personnel and equipment where they’re needed most.

  • Enhanced Situational Awareness: Combine multiple data streams for a unified, comprehensive operational view.

  • Improved Outcomes: From safeguarding lives during disasters to securing national borders, DTAK drives measurable success across diverse missions.

Unlock the Power of DTAK

DTAK represents a new era in operational intelligence, offering the tools and insights decision-makers need to stay agile in the face of evolving challenges.
