Engagements

The situation, the work,
and what changed.

Every project below is described without the client's name, product or identifying detail. What is left is the part that is useful to you: what was wrong, and what it took to fix it.

Police & fire · Defence

A secure industrial platform, in production inside a year

Situation
One manufacturer dominated the market, and for police, fire and defence users that was a procurement problem rather than a technical one — data security was a top-level requirement, and the dominant platform could not satisfy it. A European manufacturer set out to build the robust industrial alternative those agencies could actually buy.
What we did
We were lead designer on the platform, from first concept through to production. We drove the early concept iterations, the PCB and mechanical architecture, the approach to payload integration, the failure-mode testing, and the production planning behind it.
What changed
The first production-ready aircraft was complete in under a year. It is now in field deployment with firefighting, police and defence users.

Utilities

A platform certified for contact at 765 kV

Situation
A North American utility had conceptualised an aircraft that lands directly on live transmission conductors, and wanted it commercialised. A European manufacturer took the commercialisation contract, and we worked alongside them to lead the design.
What we did
We led the design across three successive versions. Each one tightened the same interlocking set of constraints: EMI response, PCB architecture, the general mechanical structure, and producibility — because on a live-line aircraft none of those can be solved on its own.
What changed
The platform is in commercial use, certified for contact with conductors at up to 765 kV.

RF & SATCOM

Antenna calibration from the air, deployed worldwide

Situation
An early-stage technology company had a vision for calibrating SATCOM antennas using unmanned aircraft. At that point it was a concept — the aircraft, the payload and the method all still had to be built.
What we did
We worked with the team from the initial concepts and prototypes onward, including the payload systems themselves — specifically the RF test-signal emission payload the whole method depends on.
What changed
The system was commercialised, and we worked with them on its global field deployment.

Sectors

Ten years of projects
in demanding environments.

Industrial unmanned systems, where the operating environment decides whether the design works.

RF & SATCOM

Aircraft built for satcom antenna calibration.

Police & fire

Field-deployed systems for emergency services.

Utilities

Live-line contact drones for transmission infrastructure.

Industrial

Inspection and survey where access is the hard part.

On confidentiality

We do not publish client names, logos or product detail. Almost every project we work on is unannounced when we are on it, and several stay that way for years — that is the nature of the work, and discretion is part of what clients are buying.

On a call we can speak to specifics under NDA, and where a client has agreed to it we can introduce you to them directly.

Twenty minutes,
straight to an engineer.

Bring a drawing, a board, a flight log or a plan, and we will get into the technical questions on your project. No discovery deck, no sales sequence — if we are not the right people we will say so on the call.
