We're building a global situational awareness network for the sky.

Our passive sensors detect, track and identify drones, aircraft and other objects. Networked together, they produce a real-time 3D picture of low-altitude airspace.

Most airspace is either poorly monitored or not monitored at all.

Commercial aviation is monitored through radar and transponders. Most drones and other low-altitude objects are not. Extending persistent coverage beyond major airports and military sites remains difficult and expensive.

Most low-altitude objects do not identify themselves

Drones and other objects can enter controlled or sensitive airspace without broadcasting their identity or position.

Existing coverage is expensive to extend

Conventional radar and RF systems can require fixed infrastructure, specialist installation and substantial budgets.

A detection is not situational awareness

Operators need identity, position, altitude, speed and direction—not simply a warning that something may be nearby.

We built a low-cost, off-grid sensor node that monitors local airspace 24/7.

It detects, tracks and identifies objects overhead, processes observations locally and can operate away from fixed power and connectivity.

Explore the hardware

Multiple nodes turn local detections into 3D trajectories in real time.

Each node contributes its local tracks. When two or more detect the same object, the network combines those views to calculate its position, altitude, speed and direction.

1

Local view

One node detects, tracks and classifies its own sky.

2

3D position

Two views resolve range, altitude and motion.

3+

Shared picture

Each added node improves coverage and confidence.

Where would you use FA Nodes?

Anywhere you need to monitor airspace and detect or track flying objects: airports, critical infrastructure, large-scale events, correctional facilities, and other large areas of land. Our system is low-cost and much simpler to deploy than conventional radar.
