The Isaac Instruments platform with satellite communication now is approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) for use by motor carriers hauling military shipments that require enhanced surveillance capabilities.
The official Defense Transportation Tracking System (DTTS) certification for the Isaac platform was granted by DOD in mid-April, the company reported. It was achieved after Isaac met stringent requirements, including HERO certification for electromagnetic radiation, and undergoing other exhaustive testing.
“Isaac is honored to achieve this certification and considers it a tremendous privilege to be a trusted technology partner by the U.S. Department of Defense,” Jacques DeLarochelliere, Isaac CEO and co-founder, said in a news release. “Our team strives every day to help simplify trucking and develop innovative ways to make highways safer.”
Isaac offers in-cab technology that goes beyond typical electronic-logging devices (ELDs), delivering an all-in-one solution that includes software, in-cab tablet, charging dock, cameras, and integration needs. Isaac’s automated workflow minimizes screen clicks to update hours-of-service (HOS) logs, while the real-time, in-cab Isaac Coach feature is scientifically proven to increase both fuel efficiency and safety.
Only an elite group of motor carriers qualify for DTTS, which monitors DOD’s sensitive and hazardous materials shipments, including arms, ammunition, and explosives. The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) oversees the closed-loop tracking program, ensuring the security of these shipments and facilitating emergency response if required.
Two of the trucking fleets that are part of DTTS each conducted successful pilot projects using the Isaac platform as part of Isaac’s certification process, the company said.
“It takes tremendous sophistication for motor carriers and technology providers to serve the U.S. military and move these critical shipments,” said Sam Sussenguth, Isaac chief sales and marketing officer. “At Isaac, we know every shipment is critical for our clients. The ability to obtain DTTS certification highlights the expertise and reliability that Isaac can offer trucking fleets, regardless of what they are hauling.”
