Tactical Cloud allows operators to in- stantly deploy mission-specific service bun- dles through a user-friendly interface. This automation replaces time-consuming man- ual configurations, ensuring systems are up and running within moments - reducing IT support dependency and lowering the risk of human error under pressure. More than a deployment tool, Tactical Cloud provides edge-based data process- ing that captures and analyses ISR drone feeds, satellite imagery, and sensor data in real time. By delivering near-instant in- telligence directly to commanders, it en- hances situational awareness and shortens decision cycles in fast-evolving scenarios. Its scalable, modular architecture allows for rapid reconfiguration during missions, integrating new infrastructure or software capabilities as needs evolve. Combined with end-to-end encryption, live monitor- ing, and centralized management, Tacti- cal Cloud is a force multiplier - ensuring secure, agile, and adaptive battlefield IT capabilities.

A Proven NATO Partner and Global Industry Supplier Since 2010, Aliter Technologies has held security clearances with national authori- ties and NATO, enabling our participa- tion in over 30 NATO contracts to date. These include key programs such as eFIT (NCIA), Communications Gateway Shel- ters (NCIA), Alliance Ground Surveil- lance (NAGSMA). Our success is reflected in the trust of NATO agencies and major defense, telecom, and energy industry leaders worldwide - including Dell, Air- bus, BAE Systems, Ericsson, General Dy- namics, and Northrop Grumman. As a registered NATO supplier, Aliter's R&D- driven systems have proven their reliabil- ity in critical deployments in real missions with ISAF and NATO operations, where communications integrity can determine mission success. Ruggedized Technologies for Field Operations Our hardware is purpose-built to meet the harsh realities of military and criti- cal infrastructure operations. Designed and produced in-house, all equipment is rigorously tested to military standards (MIL-STD-810F, MIL-STD-461F, MIL- STD-1275) to ensure performance under conditions such as extreme temperature, vibration, humidity, electromagnetic inter- ference, and corrosive environments like salt fog. Our hardware portfolio includes: • Ruggedized routers, switches and tacti- cal servers • Power supplies and UPS-integrated power distribution units • Voice communication gateways • High-speed MANET radios All systems are passively cooled for en- hanced reliability across a wide range of operational environments. Aliter Technologies also provides deployable ICT modules for vehicle- mounted or standalone field use, built for seamless integration with modern cloud infrastructure. Our mobile capabilities in- clude Mobile Command Posts (MCPs) for small tactical teams and civilian crisis management centres, and the Virtual Mast (VIMA) - a 100-meter tethered drone so- lution designed to rapidly elevate sensors and communications nodes for enhanced situational awareness.
