Namatad Inc, spun out of the University of Washington, develops technology that connects on-scene first responders, law enforcement officers, and tactical teams with commanders to improve situational awareness during response operations. The primary product, FIREFLY, is a platform that integrates indoor location tracking, environmental sensing, and real-time analytics to increase situational awareness, operational visibility, and keep personnel safe. The platform consists of multiple wearable devices for both personnel and tools such as a ladder that enables location tracking without cellular service and provides data-driven information for response operations. In addition to response operations, the technology has applications for the military, offering on-demand PNT capabilities in GPS-denied areas and integrates with Android Tactical Assault & Team Awareness Kits (ATAK) enabled devices.
