Introduction to SAFEDROP

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has chosen BANC3, Inc., a pacesetter in advanced C4ISR and defense product innovation, to develop SAFEDROP, a next-generation augmented/mixed reality (AR/MR) and computer vision (CV) product. This revolutionary system is designed to empower non-expert Soldiers to rig equipment and cargo for aerial delivery missions.

What is SAFEDROP?

The SAFEDROP system, built on BANC3’s proprietary AR RealEye App platform, provides a completely integrated, software-driven experience. It addresses a critical personnel shortage in Army Parachute Rigger roles by equipping Soldiers with wearable AR/CV devices that provide real-time rigging instructions, computer vision-based error detection, and distant expert support.

Key Features of SAFEDROP

The SAFEDROP system offers several key features, including:

• Real-time computer vision feedback for precise rigging verification, minimizing errors and ensuring safety.
• Seamless two-way communication for immediate access to distant expert assistance, providing crucial support when needed.
• Clear and intuitive, step-by-step augmented reality overlays that guide soldiers through each rigging task, simplifying complex procedures.

How SAFEDROP Works

The SAFEDROP kit is designed for optimal efficiency and mobility. It includes BANC3’s advanced wearable headsets, Tracker Anchor Point (TAP) markers for accurate equipment localization, and a compact On-Prem Server (OPS) featuring a comprehensive Content Management System (CMS). This integrated approach streamlines the complete rigging process, improving each speed and accuracy.

Benefits of SAFEDROP

SAFEDROP will redefine how the Army prepares for critical aerial deliveries, dramatically improving safety, operational efficiency, and manpower optimization through integrating cutting-edge AR/CV technology. This DoD award solidifies BANC3’s position as a number one provider of AI/ML, AR/MR, and autonomous systems to U.S. defense agencies.
