We enable platform builders to develop tomorrow’s defence autonomy within today’s limitations

Deployable computer vision software that gives drone platforms and detection systems the autonomy to see, navigate and act. Continuously shaped by operational feedback from the most demanding environments.

Front-Line Proven Drone Platform-Agnostic Cost-Effective Scalable

Engineering Philosophy

Precision First.
Not AI-First.

We build autonomous systems on precise mathematical thinking, not AI branding. We make perception work in the real world.

Our foundation is 3D vision, spatial geometry, and classical computer vision. Computer vision gives us a direct, geometric understanding of the physical world. That means operators work with systems whose behaviour they can anticipate, verify, and trust under pressure. We use machine learning where it measurably improves an outcome, and everything else stays explainable, verifiable, and robust. Every capability is validated in active operational environments before we call it ready.

Intercept Capability

Detect. Track. Guide.

Onboard autonomy software that closes the loop from detection to terminal guidance. A threat enters the airspace, is detected and tracked, and the intercepting platform executes terminal guidance.

How We Build

A Layered System, Not a Point Solution

Modern drone threats are fast, low-cost, and deployed in numbers that exploit gaps between isolated tools. Defence cannot rely on a single sensor or a single countermeasure.

From Detection Through Navigation to Response

Each capability is designed to work independently and to integrate with the rest. The system scales with what you need. Deploy incrementally. Start with a single capability and expand your defensive layer as operational requirements evolve.

Our software runs on constrained edge hardware and integrates across platforms without vendor lock-in. Each capability works independently. Together, they form a layered defensive ecosystem that platform partners can adopt at their own pace.

Chain Home Pathfinder Intercept Ecosystem

Core Capabilities

Multiple Capabilities. One Defensive Ecosystem.

01 — CHAIN HOME

Persistent Awareness Across the Entire Airspace

A distributed early-warning detection capability using low-cost visual and thermal sensors paired with 3D computer vision. Designed to be easily replaceable, creating an asymmetric cost per sensor for the other side. Nodes run standalone or as a network, scaling from single-point protection to wide-area coverage across complex terrain and dense urban environments. Multiple overlapping perspectives reduce blind spots against small drones hiding in clutter, flying low, or approaching along unexpected vectors.

  • Fully passive sensing. Targets never know they have been detected. No RF emissions, invisible to RF-homing threats, and immune to jamming
  • Each detection includes 3D position and direction of travel
  • Direct integration with interceptor platforms and response systems
  • Attritable by design

02 — PATHFINDER

Stable Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments

Pathfinder gives aerial platforms accurate positioning using visual odometry and terrain recognition. No GNSS signal required. Unlike downward-looking approaches, Pathfinder uses sideways-facing vision, which is faster to match and more reliable across varying altitudes and terrain types. The system builds its own position from what it sees and how it moves, and stays stable over time, even in unfamiliar terrain.

  • Visual odometry and terrain-relative positioning
  • No dependency on GNSS or external signals
  • Platform-agnostic, compatible across aerial platform types
  • Reliable for high speed low-altitude flying

03 — INTERCEPT

Air-to-Air Terminal Guidance at Platform Level

Onboard autonomy software that gives drone platforms the capability to detect, track, and perform terminal guidance against airborne threats. Long-range camera-based detection enables early target acquisition. Intercept runs at the platform level, with or without C2 infrastructure, and reduces the training required for effective drone interception.

  • Onboard detect-track-guide loop on edge hardware
  • Operates at platform level, with optional C2 cueing integration
  • Validated in active operational conditions
  • Reduces operator training time by automating the hardest steps in the engagement loop

The Ecosystem

Each Capability Reinforces the Others

Chain Home detects. Pathfinder navigates. Intercept acts. Detection data cues the interceptor, navigation keeps it on course without GNSS, and terminal guidance closes the engagement. Together they form a connected defensive loop. Adopt individually, expand when ready.

Chain Home Pathfinder Intercept

Built for Degraded Environments

Engineered for contested, unpredictable conditions. Validated in the field.

3D Vision & Spatial Geometry

Depth estimation, terrain recognition, and geometric reasoning that deliver superhuman precision no matter the environment.

Tracking & Autonomy at the Edge

Detection, navigation, engagement. Multiple capabilities, one connected system.

AI Only Where It Matters

Machine learning applied selectively. Every critical path stays explainable, verifiable, and reliable. Our precision does not depend on data-rich conditions. Computer vision and geometry generalise to the front line and run on low-cost edge hardware.

Horizon

From the Front Line to Critical Infrastructure

We build and validate our technology in the most demanding operational conditions. Reliability is our baseline. What we learn in deployment feeds directly back into the product. Our goal is to carry that front-line discipline into civilian and critical infrastructure domains.

People

The Team Behind It

Computer vision, aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, and 3D graphics, all under one roof. The breadth is deliberate. It lets us build capabilities that no single discipline could produce, and it means we develop our own expertise rather than borrowing it.
