Dutch Startup LiveDrop Accelerates NATO Growth with Strategic Partnership

Dutch startup and HSD partner LiveDrop, whose offline communication technology has been technically validated by the Dutch Ministry of Defence, is taking an important step in its international expansion. At NATO EDGE 2024, the innovation and technology event for NATO countries, LiveDrop ratified a cooperation agreement with the US-based Tactical Solutions Group, part of global company CDI Global.

LiveDrop has developed a patented line-of-sight communication protocol that enables data transmission without the use of radio frequencies. This unique technology provides a solution in situations where, for example, WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile networks or satellite communication are not available or allowed. With applications in both civilian and military sectors, the protocol offers advantages in terms of stealth, reliability and independence. A key example is safe and undetected communication with drones in critical environments.

The partnership with Tactical Solutions Group opens doors to markets in North and South America. As a specialist in technology solutions for special forces and intelligence agencies, Tactical Solutions Group plays a crucial role in the further adoption and scale-up of LiveDrop's technology within these sectors.

LiveDrop's solutions are currently being tested by several Defence components of NATO countries and are generating strong interest among special forces, intelligence services and other units. The cooperation with Tactical Solutions Group reinforces the strategic ambition to position LiveDrop as a global interoperability standard within NATO.
