LiveDrop, DTACT, JUMP AI and VYDAR combine technologies in the DDIL Mission Kit

An integrated sensor-to-effector chain designed to remain operational when traditional communications are disrupted

LiveDrop, DTACT, JUMP AI and VYDAR jointly present the DDIL Mission Kit, an integrated solution designed to maintain the sensor-to-effector chain when traditional transmission methods are unavailable, limited or disrupted.

The collaboration originated from the companies’ joint participation in the Innovation Challenge of the Dutch Ministry of Defence. Building on this experience, the four technology companies decided to integrate their complementary capabilities into a single operational chain.

From sensor to decision, even under DDIL conditions

Military operations are increasingly dependent on data, while the availability of traditional communication methods such as radio, mobile networks and SATCOM cannot be taken for granted under operational conditions. Jamming, limited bandwidth, EMCON measures or the absence of network coverage can disrupt the flow of information between sensors, command and control, and effectors.

The DDIL Mission Kit has been developed specifically to keep data moving through the operational chain under Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent and Limited (DDIL) conditions.

Sensor data can be processed and analyzed locally using Jump Edge's AI technology. This edge capability runs on European chipsets from VYDAR, enabling relevant data to be interpreted close to the sensor without depending on a continuous connection to central infrastructure.

When conventional transmission methods are unavailable or undesirable, selected data can be transferred via LiveDrop’s optical data protocol to DTACT’s data fusion foundation. Within this environment, information from different sources can be brought together and fused to support mission planning.

The chain also runs back to the edge

The strength of the DDIL Mission Kit lies not only in collecting and processing sensor data. The chain also works in the opposite direction.

New mission information, updates and updated AI models can be transferred back to the edge through the same route. This creates a closed information loop in which sensors, edge AI, data fusion and mission planning remain connected, even when conventional communications infrastructure is unavailable.

In this way, the DDIL Mission Kit helps units maintain situational awareness, make faster and better-informed decisions, and strengthen their information advantage over the adversary.

From sensor to edge, from edge to the data foundation, and from new insights back to the mission: one closed sensor-to-effector chain, designed for environments where connectivity cannot be taken for granted.
