From developing, manufacturing and deploying state-of-the-art, radiation-hardened products for use in defence, space, intelligence, research and commercial missions to our first multi-sensing multi-satellite cluster that will deliver a more complete intelligence picture directly to end users, we have always been at the forefront of space technology.

Featured products and programmes

Azalea

Azalea™: Low Earth Orbit satellite cluster

Azalea™ is a cluster-based satellite system that will use a range of sensors to collect radar and radio frequency (RF) data, which will be analysed by machine learning algorithms using on-board edge processors to deliver derived insight and intelligence securely, anywhere in the world while still in orbit.

Laser-LIDAR Banner

Laser/LIDAR Instruments

Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and Laser Detection and Ranging (LADAR) remote sensing technology work best when you don’t have to wait for the data. Our LIDAR technology has been used on heritage programs like CALIPSO and now on new technologies that enable new scientific discoveries.
