ZeroEyes has revealed a new collaboration with Ark Strategic to deliver an advanced 3D mapping solution aimed at enhancing situational awareness.
This innovative solution, currently in limited release, offers detailed, responsive mapping to help schools, law enforcement, and first responders operate with increased confidence during critical moments.
About Ark Strategic’s 3D mapping solution
Ark Strategic’s 3D mapping technology combines sophisticated aerial and interior mapping systems to provide users with exceptional operational intelligence. Using proprietary drones equipped with high-resolution sensors and unique flight profiles, the system captures detailed images of building exteriors. This data integrates directly into the Ark platform, providing security teams with a complete view of every building and its surroundings.
Internally, LIDAR technology and AI-driven point clouds generate interactive 3D maps in full colour. These maps allow users to easily identify and reach essential assets, such as Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and the location of security cameras.
Integration with ZeroEyes AI
By merging exterior and interior intelligence with ZeroEyes’ AI threat detection software, the solution enhances the ability of first responders to quickly locate critical assets and respond to threats with increased speed and precision. CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes, Mike Lahiff, stated, “Partnering with Ark Strategic to provide 3D mapping capabilities gives our customers and first responders a complete, real-time operational picture, inside and outside the building.”
This integrated approach combines AI-driven gun and knife detection, detailed 3D mapping, and the support of a 24/7 U.S.-based Operations Center, allowing for rapid and precise responses crucial in emergencies.
AI threat detection features
ZeroEyes integration uses AI to detect threats through existing security camerasThe ZeroEyes integration employs AI threat detection software that overlays existing digital security cameras. When a gun or knife is identified, images are promptly transmitted to the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the only U.S.-based, fully staffed operation centre of its kind, operated around the clock by trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans.
Upon confirming a threat, these experts quickly relay alerts and actionable information—such as visual descriptions, weapon type, and last known location—to security teams and law enforcement in as little as 3 to 5 seconds.
Operational efficiency
When a potential threat is detected at a location with 3D mapping, camera alerts are automatically linked to their precise map positions, streamlining navigation for responders. The cloud-based system means no local installation is necessary for law enforcement.
Annotated maps provide comprehensive details on camera positioning, fields of view, and other critical operational layers, enabling security teams to assess situations efficiently and make informed choices quickly.
Enhanced situational awareness
Daniel Hamm, CEO of Ark Strategic, emphasised the importance of accurate and accessible information, stating, “By partnering with ZeroEyes, we’re bringing highly detailed 3D mapping and real-time threat intelligence to give first responders and security teams a clearer, more actionable view of their environment.”
This development follows closely on the heels of ZeroEyes launching capabilities such as knife detection, real-time threat geolocation, and comprehensive analytics, reinforcing the company’s ambition to develop an integrated security solution that provides real-time alerts, operational awareness, and investigative insights.
ZeroEyes, creators of the pioneer AI-powered visual threat intelligence platform, announced a partnership with Ark Strategic to provide a 3D mapping solution.
Available in limited release, it delivers situational awareness at a level of detail and responsiveness far beyond traditional mapping solutions, empowering schools, law enforcement, and first responders to act with confidence in critical moments.
About Ark Strategic’s 3D mapping solution
Ark Strategic’s 3D mapping solution blends cutting-edge aerial and interior mapping technologies to deliver unparalleled operational intelligence for its customers. Proprietary drone systems, equipped with high-resolution sensors and custom flight profiles, capture precise imagery of a building’s exterior, which integrates seamlessly into the Ark platform, giving security teams complete situational awareness of every building, sight line, and exterior asset.
Inside, LIDAR and AI-powered point clouds create fully colorised, interactive 3D maps, enabling users to locate and navigate to critical assets, from Automated External Defibrillator (AEDs) to security camera locations, with ease.
Integration details
When integrating the exterior and interior intelligence with ZeroEyes AI threat detection software, the solution empowers first responders to quickly identify critical assets, enhance situational awareness, and respond to threats with greater speed and precision.
“Partnering with Ark Strategic to provide 3D mapping capabilities gives our customers and first responders a complete, real-time operational picture, inside and outside the building,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and cofounder of ZeroEyes. “By combining AI-based gun and knife detection, immersive 3D mapping, and our 24/7 U.S.-based Operations Center, we’re enabling faster, more precise responses when every second matters.”
AI threat detection software
The solution integrates with ZeroEyes’ AI threat detection software, which layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun or knife is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry's only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans.
If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, weapon type, and last known location — to security teams and law enforcement as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
How it works
When a detection occurs at a location mapped in 3D, each camera alert is automatically tied to its exact position on the map, enabling responders to navigate instantly to the area of concern. The system is entirely cloud-based, requiring no installation for local law enforcement.
Annotated maps display camera placement, fields of view, and potential blind spots, while operational layers and interactive measurements empower security teams to assess situations and make informed decisions quickly.
Situational awareness
“Situational awareness is only as strong as the accuracy and accessibility of the information behind it,” said Daniel Hamm, CEO, Ark Strategic.
“By partnering with ZeroEyes, we’re bringing highly detailed 3D mapping and real-time threat intelligence to give first responders and security teams a clearer, more actionable view of their environment. This integration ensures that when an incident occurs, teams aren’t just reacting; they’re navigating with precision, speed, and confidence.”
This news comes on the heels of ZeroEyes’ recent launch of knife detection, real time threat geolocation, and general analytics capabilities, further affirming the company's commitment to building out a comprehensive security “one-stop shop” that integrates real-time alerts, operational awareness, and investigative insights.
