Deployable Drone Detection.
Zero Emissions. Zero Licensing.
CAPS is a modular ground-air platform for passive drone detection and critical infrastructure monitoring. No radar emissions. No spectrum licenses. Deploys in minutes, operates autonomously at the edge. Built with combat-tested expertise from Ukraine.
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, digital infrastructure. Deadline: mid-2027.
Civilian Detection Gap
Less than 5% of European critical infrastructure has drone detection. Military systems cost €1–10M+. No affordable civilian solution.
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 Module
Detects drone signals without emitting. No licensing required across the EU.
Acoustic Array
Microphone arrays detect, classify, and locate drone motor signatures.
Optical EO/IR
YOLOv8 AI-powered visual detection and tracking at 47+ fps.
UGV Mobile Base
Self-contained ground platform: power, computing, comms, rapid deployment.
Tethered UAV
24/7 aerial surveillance at 150m altitude. Cable-powered. Extended radio horizon.
Real-Time Operational Awareness
One dashboard. Every sensor. Every threat. Full CER compliance reporting.
Full situational awareness with threat tracking
Complete platform health monitoring
Automated CER Directive compliance reporting
Multi-Sensor Fusion at the Edge
Three independent detection layers confirm threats with military-grade accuracy at civilian-grade cost.
DETECT
Independent Sensor Detection
RF, acoustic, and optical sensors independently scan for drone signatures. Each runs its own AI model on the edge.
CORRELATE
Cross-Modal Fusion
The fusion engine correlates detections across sensors: bearing match, time correlation, confidence boosting. 2+ sensors = confirmed threat.
RESPOND
Alert & Report
Confirmed threats generate instant alerts, track history, and CER Directive compliance reports. All data stays local.
€3–5 Billion European Market by 2030
Mandatory EU regulations, record drone incidents, and unprecedented funding create explosive demand.

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 contested areas.
Built by Engineers Who've Seen the Battlefield
Our team combines hardware engineering, AI/ML expertise, and real-world combat system experience from Ukraine.
