Core Capabilities
Vendor-neutral, requirements-driven support across consulting, training, integration, testing, and development — organized around how organizations actually field and sustain technology.
Operational Consulting
Subject-matter expertise where tactical operations, training, communications, and emerging technology intersect.
- Operational requirements development
- Capability-gap analysis
- End-user workflow assessment
- Tactical technology evaluation
- Exercise and demonstration support
- Scenario and curriculum development
- Range and field-integration support
- Independent vendor and product assessment
JTAC, Fires & Air-Ground Integration
Operationally informed support for organizations developing, evaluating, or delivering JTAC, fires, and air-ground integration capabilities.
- JTAC instruction and training support
- Close air support training advisory
- Fires integration workflows
- Range-control and exercise support
- Scenario development
- Training-system evaluation
- Tactical communications integration
- End-user feedback and operational analysis
TAK & Tactical Systems Integration
Connecting people, sensors, platforms, and information through practical TAK-enabled workflows and interoperable systems.
- ATAK and TAK ecosystem consulting
- Cursor-on-Target workflow development
- Tactical data-sharing concepts
- Sensor and platform integration
- Communications and network integration
- Operator-interface evaluation
- Field testing and user validation
- Offline, degraded, and disconnected workflow planning
- Data collection, synchronization, and dissemination concepts
Custom UAS & COTS Integration
Support for small unmanned capabilities built around defined customer requirements rather than a fixed product catalog.
- Commercial off-the-shelf component evaluation
- Small UAS and FPV system integration
- Build, operate, maintain, and repair instruction
- Sensor and LiDAR integration
- VTOL development for small reconnaissance teams
- Ground-control and operator-interface evaluation
- TAK and tactical-network integration
- Field testing and configuration refinement
- Sustainment and lifecycle planning
- Prototype and proof-of-concept support
PNT & Degraded-Navigation Development
Evaluation of technologies and operational concepts intended to improve navigation, positioning, and situational awareness when conventional sources are limited, unreliable, or unavailable.
- PNT architecture consulting
- GNSS-degraded workflow development
- Alternative navigation technology assessment
- Sensor-integration planning
- Data-fusion and operator-display concepts
- Prototype development support
- Test planning and failure-mode evaluation
- Graceful-degradation and recovery planning
Technical Surveillance & Emerging Technology
Operationally informed evaluation and integration support for commercially available sensing, monitoring, communications, imaging, and data technologies.
- Commercial technology assessment
- Technical surveillance subject-matter expertise
- Sensor and imaging evaluation
- Communications and data-path planning
- Operational limitation analysis
- Field-expedient technology considerations
- Integration and training recommendations
- Research and demonstration support
Product Development & Prototyping
Helping technology developers and operational organizations move from an idea or capability gap toward a testable, supportable solution.
- Concept refinement
- Requirements translation
- Prototype integration
- Commercial component research
- Operator-informed design feedback
- Testing and evaluation planning
- Technical demonstrations
- Troubleshooting and configuration refinement
- Training and sustainment planning
- Partner and vendor evaluation
Commercial off-the-shelf does not mean randomly sourced equipment. It means deliberately selecting, integrating, testing, documenting, and supporting commercially available components against a defined operational requirement.
Vector 21 does not force every requirement into a pre-existing product. We help determine whether the right answer is a commercially available system, a new integration, a custom training solution, a prototype, or a combination of those approaches.
From Capability Gap to Fielded Solution
Vector 21 engagements begin with a direct discussion of the operational problem. From there, we determine whether the requirement calls for consultation, market research, system integration, custom training, prototype development, testing, or a combined effort.
Each formal engagement is defined through a written scope of work identifying objectives, deliverables, responsibilities, schedule, equipment assumptions, and acceptance criteria. This protects the customer, protects the development process, and keeps the work tied to an agreed end state.
