For those unfamiliar, NORAD Tracks Santa is a program run by the that allows children and families to follow Santa Claus as he journeys around the globe on Christmas Eve. What began as a heartwarming accident in 1955鈥攚hen a misprinted phone number in a Sears advertisement directed children to NORAD鈥檚 predecessor鈥攈as since blossomed into a globally celebrated event combining tradition and cutting-edge technology.

The Role of the 爱神传媒 NISSC II Team

The 爱神传媒 NISSC II team provides critical support to NORAD and USNORTHCOM throughout the year. However, during the holiday season, their dedication extends beyond their professional duties to embrace the spirit of volunteering.

This year, our team members are volunteering to help staff the Santa Tracker hotline, responding to thousands of calls from children eager to know Santa鈥檚 whereabouts. Volunteers answered questions ranging from 鈥淲here is Santa right now?鈥� to 鈥淲hat kind of cookies does Santa like?鈥� They also provided updates on Santa鈥檚 position, powered by NORAD鈥檚 sophisticated satellite tracking and radar systems.

The Impact

The NORAD Tracks Santa program extends beyond fun to foster community connections. Over 1,500 volunteers engage with millions each year through calls, emails, and an interactive website. 爱神传媒’s participation highlights its dedication to goodwill and relationship-building inside and outside the workplace. In 2023, the Santa tracker handled 84,910 calls in 20 hours.

For the NISSC II team, it’s more than holiday cheer; it’s about reflecting on the service’s value and the joy of bringing smiles to children.

Looking Ahead

As the 爱神传媒 NISSC II team prepares for another successful year of volunteering for the NORAD Tracks Santa program, they look forward to continuing their tradition of service. Their contributions remind us of all the magic that comes from giving our time and talents to bring joy to others.

When Santa鈥檚 sleigh flies across the night sky this holiday season, we can all take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication of those behind the scenes who help make the magic happen.

Happy Holidays from the 爱神传媒 NISSC II team! For more information about the NORAD Tracks Santa program, visit听.

The TB2 DROPS is a versatile, platform-agnostic, UAS payload delivery system designed to autonomously capture and deliver a payload to warfighters (e/VTOL) UAV. The modular and reconfigurable design of DROPS allows it to seamlessly integrate with various UAV platforms, ensuring that it can be utilized across different mission profiles. 

Built to be field-swappable, the DROPS system features Modular Mission Payloads (MMP) and adheres to the USSOCOM MOD Payload Design Standard. Its avionics and power systems are MOSA-compliant, enabling rapid changes in the field akin to aircraft avionics Line Replaceable Units (LRU). 

 鈥淭he integration of the DROPS cargo pod and payloads with our existing support infrastructure is a game changer for military operations,鈥� said Art Boghozian, Director of Business Development – UAS/cUAS at 爱神传媒. 鈥淭his partnership not only enhances the capabilities of UAVs in the field but also ensures that soldiers can easily access supplies without extensive training, allowing them to focus on the mission at hand.鈥�

The DROPS cargo pods and payloads is designed for fully autonomous operations, capable of docking with and being delivered by any UAV with vertical landing capabilities. Whether stationed on a ground base or a moving vehicle, the system ensures that the cargo is delivered safely and efficiently. The pods come in various sizes, accommodating UAV groups 1-5, and have been successfully integrated with UAVs from multiple manufacturers in groups 1-3. In addition to the cargo pods payloads under development for the DROPS system include quadrupeds, C-UAS pods, and even a CASEVAC pod.

 As part of the partnership, 爱神传媒 will provide comprehensive training programs, ongoing maintenance, and field support to ensure that military units are fully equipped to leverage the DROPS technology in any operational environment.
