MISSION

WHY ADAPTIV?

Adapt (verb): “to change something to suit a new purpose or situation, or to adjust oneself to new conditions. This applies to objects, systems, or works.”

At ADAPTIV DEFENSE, we exist for you, the professional end user. Our mission is to design, develop, and deliver equipment that earns its place in the field. Every component, every detail, every test is built with one goal: to make you more capable, more adaptable, more effective.

We don’t chase trends. We chase performance. Through research, collaboration, and real-world testing, we create solutions that stand up to the mission — not the marketing.

Environments change. Situations evolve. Circumstances shift.

And when they do, only the prepared adapt well. That’s why we build with intent — to equip those who are ready to endure, to innovate, to overcome. From product development to training, from field feedback to final form, our purpose is to support those who know what it takes.

We don’t just build products. We build capability.

For those who move first. Who adapt fastest. Who stay relentless.

RELENTLESS AMBITION

Our motto is "relentless ambition". Ambition may begin with a strong desire, but it must be followed up with relentless hard work, discipline, and determination. Actions speak louder than words, and our team is committed to delivering results.

WHO WE ARE

ADAPTIV DEFENSE is a company powered by Botkin Enterprises, the parent company owned by Lucas Botkin in Middle Tennessee. The company is comprised of a dedicated team of product developers, media creators, competitive shooters, and former military and law enforcement professionals. Utilizing our own experience and knowledge, while collaborating alongside high-level end-users throughout the defense space, we provide the products, training, and education to deliver results no matter what the need may be.
