WISER Systems provides best-in-class location and tracking solutions for nearly any industry, setting, or use case. WISER has won multiple awards and serves various entities within the United States Department of Defense.
WISER delivers robust, reliable positioning and timing data using a unique combination of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology and WISER’s patented tracking technology. Initially developed with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, WISER’s system delivers persistent localization even in tough environments including indoors, underground, and in GPS-obstructed areas.
Defense Applications
Because the WISER System generates real-time location data at a highly precise level, it has countless uses in defense, including:
- Logistics and inventory improvements in military warehouses
- Safety and security applications in military bases
- Location-based operational insights for military depots or other settings
Defense benefits
- Ability to deliver real-time location data to standard-issue end-user devices (EUDs)
- Size, weight, and power (SWaP2) optimization
- Wholly U.S. owned and operated company
- Hardware manufactured in North America
Past Performance
WISER’s past performance in defense includes contracts with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and U.S. Navy. WISER has also provided real-time location solutions for multiple civilian agencies in the U.S. Government as well as three leading aerospace / defense contractors. Furthermore, WISER has participated in many DoD-sponsored field trials and closed demonstrations at U.S. Army, Air Force, and Naval bases as well as joint command operations such as Trident Spectre.
In 2023, WISER won a two year SBIR Phase II with SOCOM to deliver a field-ready prototype with GPS-free tracking, enhancing situational awareness and communications in comms-denied environments. In 2021, the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic awarded WISER a location technology category prize in the Palmetto Tech Bridge Challenge. In 2018 WISER RRLT won Phase I, II, and III awards in the U.S. Army’s first ever xTechSearch competition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Past performance includes contracts with the U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy, plus multiple civilian U.S. Government agencies and three leading aerospace and defense contractors. WISER has also taken part in DoD-sponsored field trials and closed demonstrations, including joint command operations such as Trident Spectre.
Yes. WISER delivers robust positioning and timing data using ultra-wideband combined with its patented tracking technology, giving persistent localization indoors, underground, and in GPS-obstructed areas. Reliable operation requires neither GPS nor existing wireless networks, and it functions around metal and munitions, out of sight, and around barriers.
In 2023 WISER won a two-year SBIR Phase II with SOCOM for a field-ready prototype with GPS-free tracking in comms-denied environments. In 2021 NIWC Atlantic awarded a location technology prize in the Palmetto Tech Bridge Challenge, and in 2018 RRLT won Phases I, II, and III in the Army’s first xTechSearch.
Yes. WISER is a wholly U.S. owned and operated company and its hardware is manufactured in North America. The system was initially developed with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and its components are SWaP2 optimized for size, weight, and power.
Because the system generates real-time location data at a highly precise level, uses include logistics and inventory improvements in military warehouses, safety and security applications on military bases, and location-based operational insights for depots and other settings. Data reaches standard-issue end-user devices personnel already carry.
