Upcoming attractions of BVTK and Dark Pulse cross selling opportunities:
from Dark Pulse (Dennis) interview this week;
A: The relationship was created by our Co-CEO Dr. Thomas Cellucci. Tom was the first Chief Commercialization Officer in the U.S. Federal Governments Executive Branch, he was appointed the First Director of Research & Development Group at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He authored or co-authored over 156 articles on innovative public-private partnerships, nanotechnology, laser spectroscopy, vibration control, sales and marketing, and MEMS/MOEMS test and measurement. The agreement with Battelle for the analytical equipment/patented technologies for detecting trace amounts of explosives/ chemical warfare agents/illicit drugs—is considered the “Holy Grail” of global security.
The licensing agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) is through the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), a Department of Energy (DOE) lab. DarkPulse’s licensing agreement focuses on an apparatus for detecting trace-levels of explosives, chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and illicit drugs. Low-level detection of illicit substances, including explosives, narcotics and CWAs, remains a long-standing goal of modern instrument platforms. Such systems would enable detection of vapors to identify illicit drugs in cargo containers and other concealed conveyances. Additionally, ultra-low-level detection of CWAs could also allow identification of hazardous compounds at levels well below those considered safe for the general population. This is a primary concern of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Business development for years to come!

How NIST SP 171-800 impacts your business (look it up)
Q: My company is a subcontractor. Do I have to implement all of the controls of NIST SP 800-171?
A: Yes. Being in the “spirit of compliance” is non-compliance. Until you meet all requirements in full, you are not in compliance. You must address all 110 requirements in order to be considered compliant.
Q: What are the benefits of NIST SP 800-171 compliance?
A: Minimally, NIST SP 800-171 a set of good, solid IT best-practices to ensure your company is up to the current standards of strong cybersecurity. In the near-term, proving compliance will also be a competitive advantage for new defense contract bids — especially if others are dragging their feet on the implementation of their plans.
Q: What are the consequences of non-compliance?
A: You can lose your contract, award, or PO, or simply be ineligible to win new contracts. And if you are noncompliant and have a breach, your systems will be confiscated for months.
Q: Can compliance help me win new contracts?
A: Prime contractors are seeing their supply chains drastically reduced because their suppliers are not pursuing compliance. Many of your competitive subcontractors may drop out of the bidding process — creating a larger business opportunity for you.
