WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / December 3, 2024 / At this year's Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition, Disaster Tech's PRATUS platform aided in the safety and security of more than 40,000 attendees. Purpose-built to improve situational awareness and decision-making, PRATUS provided the AUSA security team with real-time insights to protect the conference, which attracted attendees from over 80 countries.

Retired General Robert Brown, AUSA President and CEO, highlighted the impact of PRATUS, stating: "Disaster Tech's innovative software saves lives! I take the security of the 40,000 attendees at our annual meeting seriously, and the PRATUS platform provides the innovative, added layer of protection that we've been missing.
