Endurance
Weeks at sea, not hours. Autonomy removes the crew constraint that limits how long a watch can be held.
Capabilities
Sense, decide, act — with a human accountable at every step.
Four tightly-coupled lines of effort that turn endurance, sensors and AI into a single operating picture a commander can trust.
- 01
Autonomous platforms
Uncrewed surface and underwater vessels that accept a tasking order and carry it out: plan a passage, transit, hold station, react to traffic and weather, and recover — without needing a person on the stick. Autonomy is layered, so behaviour degrades safely if a sensor or link drops out.
- 02
Resilient positioning, navigation & timing (PNT)
Satellite navigation is the first thing an adversary attacks. Our platforms fuse inertial measurement, acoustic positioning, depth and seabed terrain models, and dead-reckoning to hold an accurate fix when GNSS is jammed, spoofed, or unavailable at depth. Position is a calculated, cross-checked estimate — never a single point of failure.
- 03
Sensor fusion & on-board intelligence
Acoustic, radio-frequency and electro-optical feeds are fused at the edge into ranked, classified contacts. The platform decides what is worth a satellite uplink and what can wait, so it stays useful on a thin, contested link and an operator ashore receives decisions rather than terabytes.
- 04
Early warning & the targeting web
Individual platforms are nodes in a wider network. We connect sensors, analysts and effectors into a shared picture so that a detection in one place can cue a response somewhere else — the “sensor-to-decider” chain the Integrated Force is built around.
- 05
Sovereign defence AI
A UK-hosted language model and supporting tooling, trained for defence and run inside accredited environments. It supports briefing, logistics and doctrine work, and shows its sources so outputs can be checked and owned. See Defence AI.
- 06
Manufacture & sustainment
We assemble and support platforms in the UK, with a supply chain mapped for resilience. Sovereign manufacture is not a slogan — it is how a fleet stays at sea when global logistics are under strain.
How it fits together
One picture, four contributions.
No single capability wins on its own. The value is in the loop: a platform that can stay out, a navigation solution that survives jamming, fusion that ranks what matters, and AI that helps a person decide.
Resilience
The system keeps working when the link is thin, the satellites are denied and the weather is against it.
Tempo
Edge processing shortens the gap between a contact appearing and a commander acting on it.
Accountability
Every autonomous action is logged, explainable and reversible, with a named human in authority.
