Securing the Maritime Domain — From the Tactical Edge to the Cloud.
Vision
Global Maritime Werx (GMW) is advancing a Zero Trust maritime ecosystem that unites mobile, edge, and cloud-native technologies to secure and modernize global maritime operations. Our integrated architecture safeguards data and operational systems while enabling real-time collaboration, analytics, and decision support for researchers, commercial fleets, and maritime forces, even in disconnected or contested environments. By enforcing continuous trust, encrypted data exchange, and interoperable scalability, GMW is building the foundation for resilient, cross-sector innovation and mission continuity across the world’s oceans
Mission
"Securing the Maritime Domain — From the Tactical Edge to the Cloud."
Why we exist
Dream it.
It all began with a desire to change how distributed maritime professionals discover and securely interact with locally provisioned software services, retrieve authoritative mission data, and leverage Machine Learning (ML) models while operating at the tactical edge.
Build it.
Proven Agile development methods and DevSecOps pipelines reduce software development lifecycles to the speed of relevance. Accelerating integration and delivery of innovative features like software-defined tactics, actionable data sets, and ML models, are what today’s fleet operators need.
Deploy it.
Fleet users know that software updates for legacy workstations can take years to release and distribute. Through our DevSecOps pipeline updates to our mobile apps and companion Tactical Edge services, along with refreshed mission-oriented data sets and refined ML models, take a fraction of that timeline.
“In future crises and conflicts, the side that adapts faster and demonstrates the greatest agility – to include rapidly updating and promulgating fielded software and AI models – is likely to gain a significant competitive advantage.
For the United States to retain its dominant position in the future – which is not a guaranteed outcome – the DOD needs a new design and architecture that will allow it to be far more flexible, scale on demand, and adapt dynamically to changing conditions.
The only way for the DOD to stay competitive in this new warfighting environment is to ensure that it uses the most potent weapon available: technology, and more specifically, software.”
Recognizing the challenges of modernizing legacy systems to meet emerging fleet needs, GMW adopted a “Tactical Edge First” strategy. This approach drives the development and deployment of Tactical Edge Mobile Apps, companion Zero Trust Edge Gateway (ZTEG) services, and globally scalable cloud capabilities.
While mobile apps have transformed how society connects and operates, mission-specific mobile applications for operational and tactical use are only now emerging. GMW’s forthcoming Cryptologic Electronic Warfare Support (CrEWS®) app represents our first Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) offering to the fleet.
Through programs such as CANES, distributed and containerized services are extending cloud-class computing capabilities to the operational edge. Yet, smaller, power-efficient Tactical Edge systems are still required for rapid deployment aboard fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft—or by warfighters in motion. GMW’s IoT-based Zero Trust Edge Gateways (ZTEGs) fill this critical gap, ensuring secure, resilient operations even in denied, degraded, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) environments.
Together, these Tactical Edge and Zero Trust capabilities converge within DoD-authorized Impact Level 5 and 6 (IL-5/IL-6) environments such as Cloud One, extending secure connectivity and mission synchronization from the edge to the enterprise cloud. This architecture enables distributed warfighters to operate with trusted data, enforce dynamic policy, and sustain decision superiority at scale and at the speed of relevance.
What we do
Software Engineering
We specialize in the research, design, development, testing, integration, and fielding of innovative Mobile Apps, Tactical Edge computing devices, and cloud-native infrastructure services.
Systems Integration
To reduce end-user workload our mobile apps integrate information updates provided by authoritative data sources. Additionally, our apps are capable of integrating organically collected content (data, or information) including geospatial and navigational information, mission planning files, and live sensor streams (think Tracks, Contacts, Still and Motion Video).
Training
Our founders have a significant amount of time at sea, in the air, at schoolhouses, and at fleet training commands. We leverage this experience as we work alongside those engaged in the development/refinement of companion training materials - we plan to have available through a touch of a button.
