WET BULB GLOBAL TEMPERATURE (WBGT): Extreme heat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the United States. Some workers are disproportionately impacted by this type of weather, including first responders, warfighters, and other outdoor workers. Blueforce, in partnership with Kestrel, has developed the WBGT Plugin for BlueforceTACTICAL, allowing any Android device to share heat information, but also provide workflows and notifications when an environment becomes unsafe.

About us
Blueforce Development Corporation is a packaged software company, headquartered and incorporated in Massachusetts, which has built a patent-pending software application and fusion platform that enables information sharing and decision support among people, systems, and machines using mobile, handheld, wireless devices. The v1.0 product was launched into market in September of 2010. Fundamentally, the software allows groups of people to rapidly form a secure workgroup using their mobile devices (e.g., embedded, SmartPhone, netbook, laptop) for collaboration, location-based services, situational awareness, and person-attached or unattended sensor sharing. The product was initially conceived and developed to fill a massive hole in the market: to enable information sharing and tactical decision support for our men and women working in defense, homeland security, counter-terrorism, law enforcement, and emergency response. These professionals serve on our streets and abroad in austere, denied, and chaotic environments where mission success and life safety hinges on information exchange. Blueforce software delivers this capability through our secure, extensible, and standards-based products and services using SmartPhones and devices they can carry in their pocket.

MOBILE DRONE C2: It's exciting to see the operational use of drones moving beyond pure overwatch and now into "ground truth" where a more precise understanding of the progression of an emergency is required, especially relating to escalation and increased hazards to responders. Through collaboration with Getac and Thunderbolt Solutions, Blueforce IoT, AI, and location services now enable dynamic resupply, operational sustainment, and supply chain feedback loops for public safety. BlueforceCOMMAND shown in image, on Getac A140, which doubles as a docked MDT, but also a highly mobile FULL FIDELITY command tablet (with full hotspot capabilities; not bound by Android UX or compute limitations).

STANDOFF IOT AND AI: Geopolitical and even transnational shaping of highly mobile and violent burglary rings has prompted a rapidly growing aspect of our business. And it isn't because burglary is anything new, but the introduction of tactics, weapons, and a non-concern per the "people" in targeted locations that makes it a most worrisome problem. Blueforce Development Corp. delivers fused IoT standoff detection before the location is breached.

WILCOX HYBRID PATRIOT 5510: Imagine for a moment, that you are a 22-year-old going into harm’s way.

Ground truth intelligence from your fellow team members can impact outcomes as you drive deeper into the environment because it directly impacts decisions. Blueforce Development Corp. plus Wilcox Industries soldier and responder systems provides a network-enabled reporting capability for tactical awareness, but now with longitudinal support that ensures maintenance and supply chain visibility for near-real time replenishment and maintenance.
