Command, Communications & Sensing

Make Sure Your Crews Can Talk, Share What They See, and Act on the Same Picture—Ship-to-Ship and Ship-to-Shore

Tideborn Defense proves your communications, networks, and sensors work together before you depend on them. Our at-sea trials integrate radios, cameras, tracking systems, and data links into a common operational picture, then test it under real conditions with real crews to deliver documented performance data and actionable gap analysis. We configure vessels as networked nodes, run realistic scenarios that stress information flow, and measure what actually gets through when conditions matter. Every trial concludes with a scorecard: what worked, what failed, and specific recommendations for system improvements or training adjustments. You get evidence-based answers - not vendor promises about whether your teams can maintain decision advantage when distributed across maritime environments.

WHO THIS SERVES

Defense & Joint Force Commands

Units conducting distributed maritime operations, CJADC2 experiments, and coalition interoperability trials. We configure vessels as networked nodes that integrate C2 systems, ISR sensors, and communications architectures—then stress-test information flow under operational conditions that match contested maritime theaters.

Naval Special Warfare & Marine Forces

Special operations units executing over-the-horizon missions, maritime raids, and partner-force integration. Our trials prove that boarding teams see what the bridge sees, that commanders ashore can track the surface picture in real time, and that communications remain viable when operations stretch beyond visual range.

Defense Contractors & Integrators

Defense acquisition programs where advanced communications systems, sensor packages, and network architectures must perform beyond specifications. We subject technology to the operational stress, environmental interference, and integration complexity it will face in real deployments—not controlled laboratory environments where variables are managed and risk is minimized.

TEST & EVALUATION SUPPORT

Maritime proving grounds for communications systems, sensor packages, and network architectures. We provide the platform, safety infrastructure, range control, instrumentation plan, and data collection protocols necessary for credible TEVV. Every test delivers documented integration results, system interoperability validation, and performance data under realistic operational conditions packaged in formats your proposal teams can use and program managers can brief.

WHY IT WORKS

Every trial delivers actionable insights, measurable outcomes, and clear evidence your teams and systems are mission-ready—so leaders can make confident, informed decisions.

Proven Under Operational Conditions - Testing conducted on real vessels in actual maritime environments with operational crews. No simulation compromises, no laboratory abstractions, just systems performing (or failing) under the conditions they'll face in real deployments.

Documented Performance Data - Test results with timestamps, system logs, and performance metrics that prove capability or identify gaps. Programs deliver evidence you can use to validate requirements, justify funding, or support acquisition decisions.

Fast Iteration and Gap Closure - Identify what doesn't work in weeks, not months or years. Fix it, test it again, and prove the solution before deployment - when failure costs time and money, not lives and missions.
