The Indoor Lab, a leader in LiDAR-based perception and real-time operational intelligence, announced a strategic partnership with MARTAC Tactical Systems, the premier developer of Unmanned Surface Vehicles. Together, the companies will deliver a next-generation surveillance solution designed to enhance the U.S. government's ability to proactively protect and secure its borders.
The new system leverages the “Best of” capabilities from The Indoor Lab’s Overwatch™ Perception Platform paired with MARTAC’s state-of-the-art autonomous maritime surveillance vessels. This integrated solution will provide the U.S. government with advanced detection, tracking, and interdiction capabilities, enabling authorities to locate and monitor illegal crossings — on land and water — before they occur.
"This partnership marks a significant advancement in securing our nation’s borders," said Patrick Blattner, CEO of The Indoor Lab. "By combining Overwatch’s real-time behavioral detection with MARTAC’s world-class unmanned systems, we are delivering the next evolution of persistent, autonomous border surveillance — providing the U.S. government a proactive advantage against emerging threats."
The system’s architecture is designed for autonomous activation: as threats are detected by The Indoor Lab’s Overwatch™ platform, MARTAC’s unmanned vessels are autonomously deployed to intercept, monitor, and transmit actionable intelligence back to command centers — reducing response times and operational risk.
MARTAC Tactical Systems COO Matt Smith added, "Partnering with The Indoor Lab brings together two of the most innovative surveillance technologies available today. Together, we are redefining border security, delivering unmatched situational awareness and operational flexibility for government agencies."
