A TAK company, built by TAK engineers.

Defense Development Solutions was founded in 2024 for the people who risk their lives to protect ours. We build TAK software that helps them see more, decide faster and come home safe, and we stand behind every line of code we ship and every team we work with.

Mission

Our purpose, your mission. We bring TAK and Android expertise to your team, from new integrations and plugin development to modernizing what you already field.

How we operate

Small team. Deep focus.

We're built like a squad, small, fast and effective. Everything we build comes back to one question. How do we bring them home?

01

Specialists, not generalists

TAK is our core. That focus means less ramp-up and fewer surprises on your program.

02

Engineers on every call

You talk to the people who write the code, from first scoping call to sustainment.

03

Built to be fielded

We judge our work by whether operators use it, not by whether it demos well.
