ROME, N.Y. — The PRISM Lab at ANDRO Computational Solutions LLC has launched a new pilot program, featuring the Team Awareness Kit (TAK), with the Village of Frankfort as part of an initiative to provide municipalities with technology to improve community safety. TAK, developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in cooperation with companies including ANDRO, is a software suite that bridges the gap between defense and civilian applications. The tool can improve team communication across smartphones, radios, and computers. Features include georeferenced imagery and communication tools, a unified situational-awareness system, and life-safety networking when communication infrastructure may fail. The pilot program introduces ANDRO’s PRISMTAK, a peer-to-peer networking protocol that allows users to manage data using mesh-networking hardware to ensure communication in any situation. “At ANDRO, we are deeply committed to advancing technologies that serve both defense and civilian needs,” ANDRO Chief Information Engineer Tim Woods said in a statement. “The TAK pilot in Frankfort represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide innovative solutions for community safety and operational excellence. We are excited to see the impact of PRISMTAK and its potential to transform communication and safety protocols.” ANDRO says it develops technology solutions in wireless communications and artificial intelligence that serve defense and civilian applications.
