Your hardware. A real mission need. Let’s team.

Varada Defense is supporting a Special Operations client with a need for PTZ camera systems and unattended ground sensors. We’re looking for hardware partners to team with us on this opportunity.

Our mission platforms are hardware-agnostic, so we’re open to any hardware company whose systems meet the client’s requirements.

Key requirements:
• Low size, weight, and power (SWaP)
• Ruggedized for worldwide deployment
• 110/240V AC and 10–36V DC power compatibility, including 5590/2590 military batteries
• 7-pin ODU power connector compatibility
• Thermal management, fault tolerance, and automated lens contamination mitigation where applicable

Ready to explore teaming? Please send:
• Technical data sheets detailing SWaP metrics
• Environmental ruggedization compliance documentation or test reports
• Verification of 7-pin ODU pinout compatibility and battery integration

We’re moving quickly. Contact Jeffrey Sarmiento at [email protected] with your capabilities and documentation.

Bold vision. Relentless determination. A new standard for defense technology.

Congratulations to our Founder and CEO, Tori Draude, on being named one of DCA Live’s 2026 NEW Power Women of DC Tech!

Since founding Varada Defense in 2019, Tori has challenged the status quo of defense technology with a conviction that the future of mission dominance demands more than incremental innovation. It demands fundamentally rethinking how technology is architected, deployed, and operationalized.

Under her leadership, Varada has developed a powerful portfolio of proprietary, software-defined platforms designed to transform how missions are enabled and executed, from enterprise to tactical edge, across the most complex and contested environments.

Her vision has never been about following where the industry is headed. It's about defining where it goes next.

This recognition celebrates the entrepreneurial courage, technical vision, and unwavering determination required to turn an ambitious idea into a company positioned to shape the future of national defense.

Congratulations to Tori and all of this year's honorees. Thank you to DCA Live and Doug Anderson for recognizing the women pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

The future isn't something we wait for. It's something we define.
