Key facts

Sensor stack (company-stated)

Combines millimeter-wave radar, camera and acoustic sensors, standalone or as a mesh, for micro UAS and larger targets in all weather, 24 hours a day.

Detection claim (company-stated)

Detects, tracks and classifies drones from about USD 50 quadcopters to autonomous swarms, separating drones, birds and clutter in real time on onboard compute.

Deployment modes (company-stated)

Airport perimeters and approach paths, critical-infrastructure meshes with tamper-resistant edge hardware, and rapid-deploy vehicle mounts for defense.

Team (company-stated)

CEO Dr Matthew Moore (St Andrews, millimeter-wave radar), CTO Dr Thomas Doherty (Oxford) and COO Dr Jordina Frances de Mas (St Andrews).

Backers (company-stated)

NATO DIANA, UKDI-DASA, the Royal Academy of Engineering and Y Combinator.
