We aim to elevate every aspect of government by providing solutions at the speed of change. Elevate Government Solutions is a full-service technology solutions provider. Our experts have wide ranging experience supporting public sector agencies (Federal, State, and Local) and private sector entities in the creation, deployment and maintenance of critical solutions.

Weapons technical intelligence: the ability to derive intelligence from processes and capabilities that collect, exploit and analyze asymmetric threat weapons systems to enable materiel source, support to prosecution, force protection and targeting of threat networks.Weapons Technological Intelligence is a category of intelligence and a process derived from the forensic and technical collection and exploitation of IEDs, associated components, improvised weapons and other weapon systems. WTI produces four products: Force protection – Informs the warfighter of emerging threats; informs science, technology, research and development; validates threats for testing; and documents electronic, physical or event signatures. Targeting – Distributes knowledge; analyzes and predicts patterns; maps devices to a group or person; analyzes links and networks; and conducts all-source fusion. Sourcing – Identifies state or transnational sponsorships; tracks component movement; identifies manufacturing processes; and identifies network leadership financing. Support to prosecution – Matches individuals with a place, device, event, paraphernalia and/or weapon and compiles a forensic examination of latent prints, DNA, tool marks, assemble patterns and trace evidence.

Defeat Branch Chief and Integration Branch Chief.The Defeat the Device line of operation enhances freedom of maneuver and safe operations for coalition forces, focusing on providing defensive technologies to detect IEDs, neutralize them before they can be detonated or mitigate the effects of detonation. What makes JIEDDO truly unique is its rapid acquisition ability. Once a combatant commander requirement has been validated, JIEDDO can develop a solution and have it making a positive effect on the battlefield in as little as three-to-four months — 75 percent faster than the regular military acquisition process. JIEDDO consolidates the Department of Defense's three major decision-making processes (acquisition, future requirements and financial management) under one authority to streamline decisions and allocation of resources. This, coupled with flexible funding authorities provided by Congress, enables JIEDDO to respond rapidly to the warfighter, threat and situation.

Thus “Tan Soo Do” means the Korean classical martial art that was influenced by the T’ang method of martial art.
