The prototype
The current proof-of-concept airframe — the platform every clip above was flown on. A compact sensing-and-guidance payload carried by a small drone.
Guardian is a radar-guided interceptor built to find a hostile drone and close the distance autonomously. This is what it looks like from the air.
Small drones have become a real and growing threat — to airports, to critical sites, to people on the ground. Guardian's purpose is simple: spot an uncooperative drone early, track it, and intercept it before it reaches what it's aiming for. One system that handles detection and response together.
Guardian is an early proof of concept. The core idea has been taken off the whiteboard and into the air: a working prototype is flying real interception tests today. What you'll see below is captured from those flights — not a render, not a simulation.
The first clip is the raw chase — Guardian's-eye view of an interception run. The second pairs that same flight with its live detection feed, so you can watch the target being held and closed on in real time.

The same core ability — sense what's in the air and act on it — serves two distinct worlds.
Helping autonomous and long-range drones sense obstacles and other aircraft, and steer clear of them — including in conditions where cameras struggle.
Giving a protected platform or site the means to detect an approaching hostile drone and respond — where lawful and authorised.
