Important results from the project
Objective: Operationalize our unique, civilian software for military use, as well as gain better insight into the defense market, such as special requirements that do not exist in the civilian sector. We can show that our software has great operational value through a very efficient way to provide position data for drone navigation without GNSS. The accelerator has, directly or indirectly, given us the opportunity for new projects towards the defense industry.
Expected long term effects
From the new projects and thus increased revenue, we can now hire more people to accelerate the technical development. We need more resources on the business side for several planned marketing activities. On the administrative side, we will spend time on export licenses and security classification. In the longer term, these projects will lead to us building a broad portfolio of software for the international market.
Approach and implementation
The approach was to get a clear picture of the needs and challenges of the armed forces and a broader network within the armed forces and the defense industry that leads to targeted development and productization. The conferences and meetings arranged within the project have been used to present our technology in an attractive way and to highlight the solutions we can offer. Technical development for adaptation and demonstrations has been done to better meet the needs of the market.
