Smart bio-inspired sensors for space and defence

Safeguarding space via advanced sensing in orbit and on the ground.

More About Our Mission

A more demanding orbital environment

Space is an increasingly congested and contested environment, where ground-loops comms add latency and bandwidth remains a constraint.

A more capable response

The dynamic space environment means we need fast, low power, smart on-orbit systems that make space operations safer, more resilient, and efficient.

01 // APPROACH

We develop smart, event-based neuromorphic sensors and systems that are 10x more accurate, 100x faster, and require 100x less data.

02 // IMPACT

Systems that withstand contested and degraded environments - with automation, awareness, and resilience built in.

03 // VISION

We’re building a space and terrestrial environment that is transparent and attributable - supported by sensing that operators can trust.

Join the Mission

Whether you're a satellite operator, defence contractor, research partner - we're building the future of space domain awareness together.
