Technology

Detect. Classify. Evade.
Autonomously.

Two products, one integrated stack. The brain that sees the threat, and the legs that move the satellite out of the way — with no human in the loop.

Buddy

The onboard AI engine.

A unified onboard AI engine — hardware-agnostic, updatable over the air. It makes autonomous decisions and delivers real-time intelligence from orbit. Flagship capability: it classifies threats before the ground even wakes up.

M01 — VisNav

Optical relative navigation

A COTS camera and edge visual AI isolate an approaching object against the starfield — range, 3D pose, and velocity vector, under 5 watts. No radar.

M02 — Pattern-of-Life

Anomaly detection

An orbital-mechanics filter tells passive debris from an adversarial inspector that is actively manoeuvring to match your orbit. It spots the difference instantly.

M03 — Panic Packet

Low-latency alert

A kilobyte-scale alert — threat class, range, vector, confidence — routed in seconds. No gigabytes of video, no ground round-trip.

Plasma

Water-plasma propulsion.
Safe to launch.

Water is the only propellant that is non-hazardous on launch and exists naturally across the solar system. It ships as standard cargo and refuels anywhere there is ice.

P1 — Electrolysis

Water to H₂/O₂

Water is split on-board into hydrogen and oxygen. No stored high-pressure gas, no toxic propellant.

P2 — Marx Generator

Plasma ionisation

A solid-state Marx generator ionises the gas into plasma thrust. Specific impulse in the 10,000–50,000 s range (vacuum).

P3 — 1U Form Factor

Fits any CubeSat

The whole system fits a 1U bay and scales by adding capacitor stages — same physics, any power level, from CubeSat to deep space.

The Combined System

The self-defending satellite.

No ground loop. No human in the chain. No competitor offers both the onboard AI and the safe propulsion layer in one stack.
