Europe's Drone Crisis is Accelerating

Airspace violations increased 4× in 2025. Critical infrastructure remains unprotected. EU regulations now mandate action.

Airport Disruptions in 2025

36 airspace violations in 10 months of 2025. Copenhagen shutdown: 20,000 passengers stranded. Each incident costs €4–10M.

CER Directive Sectors

EU Directive 2022/2557 mandates physical detection for energy, transport, water, health, and digital infrastructure. Deadline: mid-2027.

< 5%
Civilian Detection Gap

Less than 5% of European critical infrastructure has drone detection. Military systems cost €1–10M+. No affordable civilian solution existed — until now.

Not a Sensor.
An Infrastructure Platform.

CAPS is a modular robotic ground-air system that deploys mobile, autonomous monitoring infrastructure — anywhere, in minutes.

Passive RF / SIGINT
Detects drone signals without emitting. No spectrum licensing required across the EU. 37+ drone type fingerprint library built from real conflict data.
Acoustic Array
8-microphone MEMS array detects, classifies, and locates drone motor signatures up to 1,000 m. MFCC + CNN classification at the edge.
Optical EO/IR
YOLOv8 AI-powered visual detection and tracking at 47+ fps on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. Daylight and thermal imaging — effective day and night.
UGV Mobile Base
Self-contained ground platform providing power, computing, communications, and rapid deployment. Drives to position — no advance site preparation.
Tethered UAV
24/7 aerial surveillance at 150 m AGL. Cable-powered for continuous uptime — no battery swaps, no duty-cycle interruptions. Extended radio horizon.
Edge Compute
NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin (275 TOPS). All AI inference and sensor fusion runs locally. No cloud dependency. Works in disconnected and contested environments.

Multi-Sensor Fusion at the Edge

Three independent detection layers confirm threats with military-grade accuracy at civilian-grade cost.

01
DETECT
Independent Sensor Detection

RF, acoustic, and optical sensors independently scan for drone signatures. Each runs its own AI model on the edge — no single sensor is a single point of failure.

02
CORRELATE
Cross-Modal Fusion

The fusion engine correlates detections across sensors: bearing match, time correlation, confidence boosting. Two or more sensors confirming the same track = confirmed threat.

03
RESPOND
Alert & Report

Confirmed threats generate instant alerts, full track history, and automated CER Directive compliance reports. All data stays local — GDPR privacy-by-design.

Tethered UAV at 150 m.
Cable-powered. 24/7.

The CAPS UAV is permanently tethered to the UGV by a power-over-tether cable. Continuous power and data — no battery swaps, no duty-cycle interruptions. At 150 m AGL the sensor suite has unobstructed line of sight over buildings, trees, and terrain.

All optical and thermal video, acoustic beamforming output, and RF detection events flow down the tether to the Jetson for local fusion, then to the CAPS dashboard.

DEPLOYMENT IN UNDER 15 MINUTES
01
Arrive on site
Drive the UGV to the deployment position. No advance site preparation, cabling, or RF survey required.
02
Power up
Start the system. Jetson boots, all sensors self-test, AISAR Mesh radio joins the local network.
03
Tethered UAV ascent
The UAV climbs to 150 m AGL on a power-over-tether cable. No battery swaps — continuous 24/7 operation.
04
Fully operational
All three sensors active within 15 minutes. Track data streams to the CAPS dashboard in real time.

The Integration Gap No One Has Filled

No competitor offers integrated passive-RF, acoustic, tethered-UAV, UGV, and edge-computing in one civilian platform.

Infrastructure-First

Competitors sell sensors that need existing infrastructure. CAPS IS the infrastructure. A self-contained node that drives to location, deploys, and operates.

Passive-by-Default

Zero RF emissions means zero spectrum licensing, zero regulatory delays, and immediate deployment across all 27 EU member states.

Combat-Tested Intelligence

Our team developed systems for the Ukrainian military during the most drone-intensive conflict in history. No lab can replicate this data.

Edge Autonomy

All processing happens locally. No cloud dependency. Works in disaster zones, disconnected environments, and EW-contested areas.
