Bringing Technology to the Fight

CTI Open Technologies



We leverage a variety of open software, hardware, and data management platforms to support our customers. We liberally share our Intellectual Property (IP) with our government and industry partners. This allows others to leverage and contribute back to a larger collaborative development community.

In addition to sharing our IP, we actively train government and third-party developers on open software as part of our series of rapid prototype development events.

Our team is constantly evaluating new technologies to add to our list of supported platforms in order to ensure that cutting-edge capabilities are accessible to our sponsors and their user communities. If a technology is truly open and accessible, we are always excited to add it to our arsenal.
