Distributed sensing and resilient communications.
One architecture philosophy across the portfolio: rapid deployment, graceful degradation, and integration into existing command-and-control ecosystems.
Distributed acoustic detection network
Networked acoustic sensor nodes mounted on existing infrastructure deliver persistent, wide-area detection of low-flying threats — including small UAS — at a fraction of the cost-per-covered-kilometre of conventional radar layers.
- Infrastructure-mounted nodes for rapid, wide-area rollout
- Complements radar and EO layers in integrated air defence
- Delivered through established systems integrators
Modular interconnected sonar mesh
Compact, battery-powered sonar nodes deployed directly from a vessel form a self-organising underwater detection mesh — purpose-built for port and harbour protection against submarine, diver, and uncrewed underwater threats.
- Vessel-droppable nodes; minutes to deploy, not months
- Mesh communication protocol layered over standard sonar
- Focused on the harbour-scale mission
Connected asset tracking
A rugged, modular IoT device that attaches to vehicles, supply crates, and fuel stocks to provide real-time tracking, condition monitoring, and secure data sharing over low-power networks — turning logistics visibility from an audit exercise into a live operational picture.
- COTS sensors over LoRa and cellular backhaul
- Hardware-first: a tag that works before a platform that promises
- Reduces losses and shortens resupply decision cycles
Tactical mesh networking
An encrypted, self-healing mesh communication layer built on commercial networking technologies and carried by low-cost aerial nodes — delivered as an integration-ready component for platforms and systems that need connectivity in contested or austere environments.
- Export-friendly component tier for allied drone and sensor programmes
- Designed for compatibility with legacy military communications
- The connective tissue across our sensing product lines
Passive sensing from existing infrastructure
The national telecommunications estate already fills the sky with radio energy. We are developing a sovereign sensing layer that puts that existing infrastructure to work detecting and tracking low-altitude threats — without building a parallel network of dedicated radars, and without dependence on any single network operator.
- Leverages infrastructure the nation has already built — a fraction of the capital cost of dedicated sensor networks
- Operator-independent by design: a sovereign capability, not a carrier service
- Software-led: classification, tracking, and fusion that turn raw reflections into an operational picture
