Introducing PATCH

The Future of Tactical Communication

Invented by a US Navy SEAL and a Johns Hopkins engineer, PATCH is a waterproof wearable that creates an encrypted off-grid network for texting, GPS, and remote wellness checks.


PATCH uses Velcro to easily attach to your gear and charges wirelessly — just like a smartphone.

PATCH: The Future of Tactical Tracking and Communication - Off-Grid Texting, Activity Monitor, Location Tracker & GPS with End-to-End Encryption

With radio signals that hide in the background and designed to look like a US flag patch, PATCH is the future of tactical communication.

Why PATCH

No Cell, WiFi or Satellite Needed

PATCH is completely off-grid. PATCH devices mesh directly with each other so you can stay connected, even in the most remote locations. And there are no service or messaging fees—just connect and go.

100% Private & Encrypted

All of your data is wiped when you close the PATCH app on your phone. PATCH also uses AES-256 end-to-end encryption, the same level of protection used by elite government agencies.

Keep Your Team Safe

PATCH automatically monitors the location and activity of people in your network, so you can keep tabs on your team mates, even if they can't message you.

Designed & Made in the USA

PATCH is 100% made in the USA, helping to keep our economy strong and keep good jobs inside our borders. When you buy American made products, you insist on a higher standard.

Navy SEAL Finds New Way to Serve

By Roper Team • 18 Dec, 2023
It’s daybreak in Austin, and retired US Navy SEAL Dana De Coster’s day has begun. His days start differently now—instead of leading an assault on a target in Iraq, he is now shooting a video on how to use PATCH, a new device that he co-invented to help people stay connected in remote, off-grid environments. In between shots, he and his wife Shayla take turns looking after their daughter, Bryn. “Serving my country as a Navy SEAL was what I dreamed of as a kid, so it was difficult to follow up on my dream career. Like many veterans, my transition out of active duty after 20 years of service was a time of soul-searching. How could I find a new, meaningful path as a civilian?”
