Leapfrog moments in Defence & National Security Shield

What we do01

Real Time Data Fusion Solutions

We enable defence and security organisations to integrate information from diverse sources—satellites, sensors, unmanned systems, communications networks, and open intelligence—into a single, coherent operational picture. By applying advanced algorithms, machine learning, and secure architectures, these solutions transform raw data into actionable intelligence at the speed of relevance. They enhance situational awareness, accelerate decision-making, and provide commanders with predictive insights critical for mission success in complex, contested, and multi-domain environments.

What we do02

Foundations for Mission-Critical Operations

We deliver expert capabilities for mission-critical applications, with the knowledge that in future battle techniques, having the right data architecture is more important than ever.

Digital Twins and Predictive Maintenance

What we do03

Digital Twins and Predictive Maintenance

We create virtual replicas of critical assets, enabling continuous monitoring and simulation of their performance, applying advanced analytics and machine learning to identify potential failures before they happen, improving operational readiness and reducing downtime, and cutting maintenance costs. This proactive approach enhances operational readiness, reduces unplanned downtime, and lowers lifecycle costs. By extending the durability of mission-critical systems, we ensure that fleets, platforms, and infrastructure remain available and effective when they are needed most.

What we do04

AI/ML for Decision Support

We deploy responsible AI and machine learning solutions that process complex threat landscapes, identify emerging risks, and recommend courses of action while maintaining human command authority and ensuring decisions remain within established rules of engagement. Command decision-making is enhanced through intelligent threat assessment, risk analysis, and operational planning support providing actionable intelligence. By applying predictive analytics to threat intelligence, operational patterns, and mission data we enable anticipation of adversary actions, mission risks, and optimise resource allocation for maximum operational effectiveness.
