LiveDrop

A Breakthrough in Electronic Warfare Resilience

In modern military operations, Electronic Warfare (EW) - including jamming, spoofing, and spectrum monitoring - poses significant threats to conventional radio and satellite communications. These systems are increasingly vulnerable to detection and interference.

The LiveDrop ATAK Plugin eliminates these vulnerabilities by enabling data transfer without emitting radio frequencies, making communications:

• Undetectable within the electromagnetic spectrum
• Unjammable, since there is no signal to disrupt
• Reliable, even in hostile EW environments

This capability allows military personnel to securely and covertly share sensitive information, such as geospatial data, imagery, and situational awareness, without risking exposure or disruption.

LiveDrop’s Improved Performance of 1Mb/s

LiveDrop specializes in secure offline data exchange independent of conventional communication channels. With the ATAK plugin launch, LiveDrop introduces an upgraded transfer speed of 1 Mb/s, matching the performance of widely used Bluetooth standards. From nearby person-to-person data sharing to long-range data sharing with cameras, LiveDrop offers disruptive solutions for operations where spectrum denial and electronic threats are prevalent.

Integrating LiveDrop with ATAK, a widely deployed platform for situational awareness and command & control, demonstrates its strategic potential in global defense operations. The ATAK plugin is also interoperable with LiveDrop-enabled solutions for mobile phones, laptops, and cameras, extending the secure data exchange ecosystem across multiple devices.

About ATAK Usage in Defence

ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) is a geospatial situational awareness and collaboration tool originally developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. It is actively used by the U.S. Department of Defense, including Army, Air Force, Special Operations, Homeland Security, and Department of Justice, as well as by numerous partner nations and agencies. Notably, ATAK has been adopted by the British Army as part of NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence. Other public global users include Lithuania, which integrates ATAK into its counterUAS systems. The Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) is a mobile, geospatial situational awareness platform used by military, law enforcement, and emergency response agencies worldwide. It enables users to share realtime information, make coordinated decisions, and manage operations with enhanced precision and security.
