Challenge :

A coastal surveillance technology provider developed an autonomous, solar-powered aerial platform designed for persistent maritime monitoring. While the system offered excellent endurance and modular sensor capacity, it faced potential EU dual-use export restrictions and lacked formal compliance protocols for sales outside allied markets.

Sector: Maritime ISR / Environmental Monitoring
‍Package: FIELDPROOF-L Premium

Process :

Tactical Readiness Evaluation (5×20 scoring) → 76/100

Export & Compliance Review → Identified EU Dual-Use Category 10 classification for thermal imaging components.

Result :

Secured required EU export license for thermal imaging payloads.
Implemented internal sanctions and end-user screening policy.
Identify failure points before field demos or fundraising
Risk rating reduced from Medium to Low.

Impact :

Cleared for procurement listing with EU coastal security agencies and positioned for allied market expansion.

Real questions. Tactical answers.

FIND YOUR ANSWERS

What exactly is RedForge?

Redforges is a tactical evaluation and compliance intelligence firm for defense and dual-use innovation. We assess technologies for mission readiness, legal and export compliance, and procurement viability, delivering the clarity decision-makers need to invest, deploy, and scale with confidence.

Who is this for?

We work with defense startups, dual-use innovators, venture capital firms, and procurement agencies. Whether you’re a small team entering the market or an established supplier expanding internationally, our evaluations are designed to meet your needs.

How is this different from a regular consultancy?

Typical consultancies focus on either technical validation or legal compliance. Redforges is the only firm combining both into a single, unified framework — FIELDPROOF — giving you tactical insight and compliance intelligence in one deliverable.

Why is your team anonymous?

Many of our specialists are active or former members of defense, intelligence, or compliance agencies. We operate discreetly to protect their identities and your confidentiality, while ensuring evaluations benefit from genuine operational and regulatory expertise.

What kind of results do you deliver?

You receive a detailed FIELDPROOF Report (15–40 pages depending on package) including readiness scores, risk ratings, and a step-by-step improvement plan. This report is investor-ready, procurement-ready, and built to accelerate market entry.

What does it cost?

Our packages start from €3,000 for FIELDPROOF Standard, from €10,000 for FIELDPROOF+ with Red Team simulations, and On Demand for FIELDPROOF-L Premium (tactical + legal/export compliance).

Do you work with early-stage startups or only funded ones?

We work with both. Early-stage startups benefit from identifying compliance and operational gaps before seeking investment, while funded companies use FIELDPROOF to validate market readiness and meet procurement requirements.

What does FIELDPROOF include?

FIELDPROOF combines tactical readiness scoring with legal/export compliance analysis. Depending on the package, it covers mission fit, operational risk, dual-use potential, IP status, export controls, sanctions checks, and procurement alignment.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. Our compliance assessments cover NATO, EU, US, and other allied markets. We adapt each evaluation to your target regions and applicable regulations.
