► Strategic partnership between blackned GmbH and OMTAC Defence Solutions
Heimertingen, 02 August 2024 – The internationally successful military software manufacturer blackned from Heimertingen, Bavaria, has formed a strategic partnership with OMTAC Defense Solution from Dallas, Texas, to introduce the TACTICAL CORE software portfolio to the North American market. OMTAC Defense Solutions was founded by Vinco Inc., a successful provider of wireless services and solutions for 27 years, with the goal of providing the most innovative end-to-end solutions to North American armed forces and security organisations.
Steve Anderson, CEO of OMTAC, commented on the partnership: “The formation of OMTAC Defense Solution and the collaboration with blackned allows us to create unparalleled value for our customers. With blackned’s innovative TACTICAL CORE portfolio and our experience in designing and implementing complex communications solutions, we are able to bring the latest technologies and an open ecosystem to previously closed critical communications infrastructures.”
blackned is now working with OMTAC to demonstrate the functionality and security of TACTICAL CORE to North American armed forces. “Our digitalization solution creates a clear tactical superiority on the battlefield. OMTAC enriches our engagement by supporting our alliance partners in the North American market with customized solutions based on our TACTICAL CORE portfolio. This collaboration marks the beginning of a promising partnership,” says Joel Langenberg, CEO of blackned.
blackned is a international market pioneer for the digitalization of armed forces. In 2021, the company was commissioned by the German Armed Forces as part of the “Digitalization of Land-Based Operations” (D-LBO) program to provide a middleware service layer for an effective network that connects all units involved on the battlefield. The security of the data transmission was certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) with the “NATO Restricted” security label.
The cooperation between blackned and OMTAC Defense Solutions is based on mutual trust and a clear, common strategic direction. The combination of blackned as a successful software manufacturer in the European defense market and OMTAC Defense Solutions as an experienced American provider of solutions and services offers the best conditions for a successful partnership.
