Built for shifting ground conditions.
Whether an environment is shaped by urban structures or severe natural terrain, ground personnel face the same fundamental problem: abstract plans break down without real-time intelligence. Here is how Velda is designed to operate across those environments.
Complex Urban & Structural Incidents
In dense built environments, visibility breaks down immediately. Ground personnel face blind corners, multi-story structures, crowds, and conflicting reports without a shared view of where teammates, hazards, or non-lethal containment options are positioned.
- Combines municipal/governmental building data, utility layouts, and live personnel markers into a 3D-aware terrain and structure map.
- Highlights viable approach corridors, line-of-sight exposures, and safe perimeter boundaries in real time.
- Guides coordinated non-lethal deployment so teams can isolate hazards and de-escalate without guesswork.
Replaces fragmented radio descriptions with a shared, real-time operational picture—allowing ground personnel to implement plans calmly and resolve incidents with non-lethal precision.
Natural Disasters, Wildland & Severe Terrain Operations
Fires, floods, landslides, and severe weather reshape the terrain by the minute. Pre-printed maps and static GIS layers fail to show which roads are cut off, where ground crews are isolated, or how environmental hazards are moving.
- Fuses topographic elevation models, weather/sensor feeds, and public infrastructure status to model hazard spread.
- Tracks ground crew load, movement speed, and route viability across steep or flooded terrain.
- Automatically recalculates safe extraction and supply corridors when primary routes degrade.
Gives field leaders and ground crews continuous awareness of both the terrain and their people—preventing encirclement and keeping response plans grounded in current reality.
Remote & Infrastructure-Denied Field Operations
Software that depends entirely on cloud connectivity fails when ground personnel need it most—inside heavy structures, in remote valleys, or after storm and power grid damage.
- Runs a lightweight local RTI core directly on field tablets and vehicle/pack edge nodes.
- Synchronizes personnel positions, sensor alerts, and plan updates peer-to-peer over available local radio or mesh links.
- Seamlessly reconciles data with headquarters once backhaul connectivity is restored.
Ensures ground personnel never lose their map, their threat assessments, or their team positions when operating beyond cellular reach.
