The Indoor Lab Partners with MARTAC Tactical Systems to Deliver Next-Generation Border Surveillance Solution for the U.S. Government
By combining Overwatch's real-time behavioral detection with MARTAC's world-class unmanned systems, we are delivering the next evolution of persistent, autonomous border surveillance

The new system leverages the 'Best of' capabilities from The Indoor Lab's Overwatch™ Perception Platform paired with MARTAC's state-of-the-art autonomous maritime surveillance vessels. This integrated solution will provide the U.S. government with advanced detection, tracking, and interdiction capabilities, enabling authorities to locate and monitor illegal crossings — on land and water — before they occur.
"This partnership marks a significant advancement in securing our nation's borders," said Patrick Blattner, CEO of The Indoor Lab. "By combining Overwatch's real-time behavioral detection with MARTAC's world-class unmanned systems, we are delivering the next evolution of persistent, autonomous border surveillance — providing the U.S. government a proactive advantage against emerging threats."
The system's architecture is designed for autonomous activation: as threats are detected by The Indoor Lab's Overwatch™ platform, MARTAC's unmanned vessels are autonomously deployed to intercept, monitor, and transmit actionable intelligence back to command centers — reducing response times and operational risk.
MARTAC Tactical Systems COO Matt Smith added, "Partnering with The Indoor Lab brings together two of the most innovative surveillance technologies available today. Together, we are redefining border security, delivering unmatched situational awareness and operational flexibility for government agencies."

New riverfront restaurant, Daisy's, opening soon near Brown's Island
Richmond will soon have a riverfront restaurant, neatly positioned between Brown's Island and the new amphitheater. Why it matters: The closest restaurant to both popular concert destinations is currently almost a mile walk, uphill. And until now, the only Richmond restaurant north of the James with a view of the river has been roughly three miles downstream at Rockett's Landing. Driving the news: Daisy's at Tredegar is in the works inside The Foundry at Historic Tredegar event space, as first reported by BizSense. The restaurant is from chef Matt Kirwan, who previously worked as executive chef at The Roosevelt and Grisette, and Rawleigh Easley, co-owner of Neighbor restaurant on Northside. Daisy's will be an all-day cafe open daily, serving up coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the morning, then salads, burgers, sandwiches and drinks in the afternoon and evening. Zoom in: The restaurant is taking over the portion of the Tredegar event space that until last year was a visitor's center for the National Park Service. The building is owned by NewMarket Corp., the Richmond-based chemical company that also owns the land where Allianz Amphitheater opened last month.

Scoop: Parker administration taps high-powered law firm to lobby Trump
The Parker administration is tapping a high-powered national law firm to lobby the Trump administration to support the mayor's "safer, greener, cleaner" agenda. Why it matters: Lobbying is a part of most cities' playbook, but maintaining working relationships with the president and federal lawmakers could prove especially crucial for Philadelphia, which relied on $2.2 billion in federal aid last year. Driving the news: Holland & Knight, a Florida-based law firm with a big footprint in Washington, D.C., has secured a new one-year, $150,000 contract with the city, city spokesperson Joe Grace tells Axios. The mayor's office publicly bid the contract earlier this year, saying it needs support and funding increases from the federal government to "assist the city in being the safest, cleanest, greenest city with economic opportunity for all." The contract description on the city's website stressed the need to foster "positive relationships with members of Congress and the president's administration, regardless of political affiliation." The big picture: Unlike her predecessor, Mayor Cherelle Parker has avoided publicly clashing with President Trump — a cautious strategy that has caused consternation among some advocates and residents who want the mayor to forcefully denounce Trump's policies. Between the lines: Parker doesn't appear to want to risk the city's overall future by criticizing the president on issues she can't directly influence, longtime political analyst Larry Ceisler tells Axios. Parker — who last month secured a $6.8 billion budget, raising city spending by nearly 7.5% from last year — "understands her lane as a mayor of Philadelphia," Ceisler says. "She is not getting distracted by all these other things that are going on around her." State of play: Holland & Knight has served as a consultant for several Philadelphiaadministrations over more than a decade, Grace says. The firm has already tallied at least $30,000 in the first quarter of 2025 to lobby for the city on issues ranging from affordable housing and homelessness to city waterregulation, per OpenSecrets. Philly spent $240,000 on lobbying under the Biden administration last year, with half of that amount going to Holland & Knight. What they're saying: Holland & Knight has been instrumental in facilitating conversations with "key contacts within federal government or other cities or municipalities," Grace says.
