Strike Map
Problems
Lack of shareable common operating pictures among NGOs, irregular forces, and other paramilitary organizations creates extreme coordination problems that lead to increased cost, risk, and lives lost.
Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence systems (“C4ISR”) used by governments to protect government users are classified systems and networks that are not shared.
Current solutions being used to coordinate high risk transit operations include but are not limited to Signal, Protonmail, GMAIL, and myriad other solutions with varying degrees of information security most of which are not reconciled to an actual map.
Current solutions do not take a map-first approach and were not designed to efficiently crowd-source current ground situation.
Solution
Strike Map enables people and organizations operating in dangerous places to source information from contributors both internal and external to their circle of trust, plot locations of data and objects on maps, enrich those plots with all sorts of other information, and decide who to share with.
Unlike other mapping applications, Strike Map was designed from the ground up to allow organizations to route plan least risk route planning in warzones and under-governed spaces.
Extreme emphasis is placed on attributes that allow the organization to either freely share or significantly restrict visibility on information and their route planning.
This is a very different way of designing a software application. We designed it the way an intelligence agency would need it to behave to support operators in the field rather than a social media application or business software.
