At the forefront of national safety and security, the PRISM Lab at ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC is excited to announce the launch of an innovative pilot program featuring the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) in collaboration with the Village of Frankfort, NY. Led by Mayor Justin Smithson, this initiative is set to revolutionize community safety and empower local municipalities with cutting-edge technology originally developed for military applications and now repurposed for commercial use as part of a smart city pilot demonstration.
The TAK, developed by the Department of Defense in cooperation with companies that include ANDRO towards enhancing its features and capabilities, is a versatile software suite that bridges the gap between defense and civilian applications. This comprehensive tool improves team communication across smartphones, radios, and computers, offering a range of standout features for military and civilian public safety that include:
- Georeferenced Imagery and Communication Tools: TAK facilitates scalable operational planning, seamless data sharing, and enhanced visualization, enabling teams to coordinate effectively.
- Unified Situational Awareness System: Specifically tailored for law enforcement and public safety personnel, this system ensures that critical information is always accessible.
- Life-Safety Networking: In crisis situations where infrastructure may fail, TAK maintains essential communication channels, supporting disaster relief efforts and safeguarding communities.
The pilot program introduces ANDRO’s PRISMTAK, a groundbreaking intelligent peer-to-peer networking protocol that empowers users to manage their data using affordable mesh networking hardware. This ensures robust communication in any situation, enhancing both community safety and operational efficiency.
