What We Do

Rapid Prototyping

Department 13 specializes in the rapid development of low cost, low powered, covert sensors and systems. Depending on client requirements we research, design, prototype, and test our systems to fit unique and specialized needs within short timeframes. Department 13 focuses on working with our partners to transition prototypes and initial short run products to full scale manufacturing.

Software Solutions

Department 13’s engineers provide cutting edge software solution for mission critical operational requirements, specializing in embedded solutions for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), TTL (Tagging, Tracking, and Locating), and EW (Electronic Warfare) solutions. Department 13 also develops innovative mobile device solutions for clients from DOD, DOJ, DHS and local Law Enforcement.

Training & Consultancy

Department 13 provides world class consulting on demand for customers in our core technology expertise areas of EW, ISR, TTL, and Convergence devices. Department 13 customizes training to meet your specific needs. Our team has been contracted to design, develop, and teach courses for the US Government including data exploitation, digital forensics, hardware modification, and tactical electronic warfare courses.

How We’re Doing It

We currently focus on developing technologies in five operational areas:

  • Tagging Tracking and Locating (TTL): We provide cutting edge customizable TTL technology to our clients, enabling a level of covert observation never before possible.
  • Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR): Department 13 develops unique, low cost, highly adaptable ISR sensors.
  • Tactical Electronic Warfare/Information Operations (EW/IO): We provide extraordinary technologies for immediate field deployment.
  • Convergence Devices: We extend existing smart COTS technology capabilities and enable new capabilities of those devices that increase tactical toolsets and enhance the way operators execute missions.
  • Lightweight Security Enhanced Android OS: We developed MilDroid®, a lightweight security enhanced version of Android born out of a DARPA program. MilDroid enhances security by offering strong encryption, a built in firewall, restricted peripheral access, and more. MilDroid’s enhancements mitigate threats from Wireless/RF attacks, SMS attacks, Malware, Viruses, Web Based cyber-attacks, physical attacks, and even unintentional or accidental data loss. MilDroid does all this while offering the same Android user interface users expect while offering as good or better performance than normal Android installations.

Department 13 has the ideal blend of highly competent engineers, program managers, and former operators. We thoroughly understand any mission requirement set, and provide solutions that work to meet the needs of users in conventional, non-conventional, and asymetric environments.
