What we build

One portfolio. Four ways to see, speak and stay secure.

C Software's solutions cover the full mission lifecycle — from encrypted communications on the ground, to covert tooling, to a shared command view, to the infrastructure underneath. All 13 apps sit within the NOMAD Programme.

NOMAD

One portfolio. Thirteen mission-ready apps.

NOMAD is C Software's portfolio of secure, interoperable apps for operator communications, covert tooling, situational awareness and platform infrastructure — built to be deployed together or standalone, on-premise or in the cloud.

PortfolioNOMAD — 13 apps across 4 capability groups

01

Core problem NOMAD solves

Most operational technology stacks grew one procurement at a time. NOMAD exists to fix what that leaves behind.

Fragmented situational awareness across teams

Legacy systems operate in silos that cannot deliver a complete picture.

Slow decision cycles

Command units rely on legacy tools, causing delays in coordination.

Operational complexity

Modern technology has become complex to onboard and deploy, overwhelming operators.

Security vulnerabilities

Existing platforms often fall short of modern cyber security standards.


02

Thirteen apps, four capability groups

Every NOMAD app is built and supported the same way — modern ciphers, independent vulnerability assessment, and standard patching and maintenance — so teams can mix and match without inheriting inconsistent security postures.

Who we serve

Purpose-built for the missions that can't fail

From the battlespace to the control room, C Software's technology is built for organisations who need to communicate securely, see clearly and respond fast — whatever the environment.

01

Defence and National Security

Land, maritime and air forces need to communicate and coordinate without giving away their position — and share a common picture with coalition partners running different systems.

▹

The challenge

Denied, degraded, intermittent or limited (DDIL) networks; the need for coalition interoperability; and the risk of signature and interception in contested environments.

▹

How we help

IMR's encrypted comms and Obfuscation's traffic privacy, paired with GeoStorm and Apex's shared situational picture and Babel's interoperability with coalition standards including TAK.

Discuss a defence and national security requirement →

02

Law Enforcement

Police, ambulance and fire & rescue services need to see where their people and vehicles are, communicate instantly, and coordinate with partner agencies during major incidents.

▹

The challenge

Multi-agency incidents where every second and every accurate location matters, often with different systems in use across each responding organisation.

▹

How we help

GeoMapper and Overwatch give commanders a live, shared view of officers and vehicles, CheckMate protects lone responders with automatic check-in alarms, and IMR keeps every team talking on secure channels.

Discuss a law enforcement requirement →

03

Critical National Infrastructure

Energy, utilities, transport and telecoms operators need to monitor remote and dispersed sites, coordinate field teams, and respond quickly when something goes wrong.

▹

The challenge

Geographically dispersed, high-value sites; field engineers working alone or in remote locations; and a growing need to demonstrate resilience against physical and cyber threats.

▹

How we help

CheckMate protects lone field engineers, VideoLink and Reacher extend visibility and control over remote assets, and Gecko's mission VPN secures connectivity back to the control room.
