Coordinate Teams in Crisis & Conflict
Bareways is the offline-first crisis management platform that enables mission coordination, situational awareness, and secure peer-to-peer collaboration.
For TEAMS in the Field
Bareways supports military units, disaster response teams, private security, civil volunteers, and mixed organizations that must coordinate ad-hoc, across teams or institutions, when no single, unified system is available. It is designed for situations where existing tools do not interoperate, responsibilities overlap, or civil and state actors need a shared, temporary coordination layer without replacing their own systems.
Plan ROUTES, Mark AREAS, define Rendezvous Points
Teams can define routes, temporary rendezvous points, restricted zones, and areas of interest directly on the map. These elements remain available offline and can be updated collaboratively as conditions change.
Shared OPERATIONAL PICTURE
Each user shares their current location, planned route, progress along that route, and relevant observations with the team. Changes are synchronized intelligently so everyone sees the same plan—and deviations—without constant communication.
OFFLINE-FIRST, Sync When It’s Safe
All mission data—including maps, routes, and team positions—remains fully usable without continuous connectivity. Synchronization occurs opportunistically and only when users explicitly allow it or conditions permit.
SITUATION-AWARE & DECENTRALIZED
Bareways supports fully decentralized operation where devices communicate directly with each other, including modes that route traffic over anonymization networks such as Tor. When required, optional server-based modes enable central asset management, preparation, and coordination outside active operations.
SMART COORDINATION
The platform can suggest support or handovers based on team member availability, schedules, and proximity. Teams can coordinate people, vehicles, and other assets while maintaining a clear overview of responsibilities and timing.
Pattern Awareness and Assisted Analysis
Motion patterns and behavioral signals can be analyzed locally to highlight anomalies, bottlenecks, or emerging risks within the group. AI-supported analytics assist leaders by identifying deviations or threats without requiring centralized data aggregation.
Built to Handle LOSS, CAPTURE, and DISRUPTION
Lost or captured devices can be marked and cryptographically excluded using unit-level voting and revocation mechanisms. Panic modes, inactivity triggers, and automatic key destruction protect the team if a device is compromised.
SECURE Peer-to-Peer Communication
Critical updates are exchanged using end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer messaging without relying on live central servers during operations. Communication works over direct device connections, ad-hoc networks, or anonymized routing depending on the selected operating mode.
LOW-SIGNATURE Operation by Design
Users control when and how devices transmit, enabling silent operation when emissions pose a risk. The system avoids background chatter and minimizes transmission windows to reduce exposure.
Designed for TRUST, Not Dependency
Operational data stays under the control of the unit or organization, with no mandatory cloud backend or vendor lock-in. The platform is designed to remain useful even if infrastructure, policies, or external dependencies change.
Works on Existing Devices, Scales with You
Bareways runs on certified Android hardware, from everyday smartphones to ruggedized devices, without proprietary terminals. Teams can start small and scale across units and organizations without changing tools or workflows.
Get Started Quickly
Deploy in minutes, not months—without national-level procurement or infrastructure dependencies.
We are onboarding first teams to test and refine features and user interface through real-world use. The initial release is planned for summer 2026—reach out if you’d like to learn more or explore early access!
