Critical infrastructure and ports

Same stack — ports,
airfields, dams, water.

Autonomous protection and inspection for the asset classes that don't tolerate outages. Drone-in-a-box for fixed-site perimeter. AUDROS counter-UAS for the airspace. Halo Cloud AI for condition monitoring. Sovereign supply chain by design — zero components from China or sanctioned states.

Why CIP

The assets where a single failure makes the front page.

Critical-infrastructure protection sits at a different point on the risk curve than general commercial inspection. A missed defect in a substation insulator is a regional outage. An unauthorized UAV over an airfield is an hour- long traffic shutdown. A breach at a water-treatment plant or a port-perimeter incursion is a national-news event. The cost of being wrong is asymmetric.

The economic model that follows is simple: persistent autonomous coverage of the asset, paired with kinetic airspace protection for hostile UAVs, is significantly cheaper than the consequence of a single incident — and meaningfully cheaper than the labour-based alternative. The same drone-in-a-box hardware that runs at national scale on Germany's rail network, paired with the AUDROS c-UAS stack scored 98/100 by the European Defence Agency, runs the full perimeter + airspace job for a CIP operator at one indivisible engagement.

The data path stays sovereign by design — EU + US infrastructure only — which matters when the CIP operator in question is itself a regulated entity, a public authority, or a national-security-adjacent operation.

What it does

Four capability layers — one integrated deployment.

The CIP deployment isn't a perimeter system + a c-UAS system + an inspection system + a sovereign-data product. It's one integrated stack with four operating modes, all running on the same hardware and the same AI platform.

  • Persistent perimeter overwatch

    Autonomous drone-in-a-box deployed at the asset edge. Scheduled patrols plus on-demand response to alerts from ground sensors, radar, or dispatcher escalation. Operator sees anomalies — intrusion, unauthorized vehicles, fence breach — not raw video.

  • Counter-UAS airspace protection

    Pair the perimeter with AUDROS — our Eagle One net-capture interceptor. Hostile UAVs over a port, airfield, dam, or substation get caught intact for forensic review. Validated to 98/100 by the European Defence Agency on the CBRN counter-UAS programme.

  • AI condition monitoring

    Halo Cloud AI runs the same per-asset anomaly detection that found 95%+ of critical defects on Germany's rail network — re-pointed at conductors, insulators, dam joints, tank welds, water-treatment infrastructure. Inspection cadence matches the asset's actual risk profile, not a fixed calendar.

  • Sovereign data path

    Imagery, condition data, intrusion logs, telemetry stay on EU + US infrastructure. Zero components from China or sanctioned states. NDAA Section 848 compatible. Suitable for regulated CIP workloads where the data path is itself a procurement requirement.

Where it fits

Six CIP asset classes where the integrated stack maps one-for-one.

  • Ports and maritime terminals

    Container yard inventory, vessel inspection at berth, fence-line and waterfront perimeter, drone-borne security against airspace incursions. Where the cost of a missed contraband event or a 24-hour shutdown easily clears seven figures.

  • Airports and airfields

    Perimeter security against unauthorized incursions (human or UAV), runway / taxiway condition inspection, FOD (foreign-object debris) detection, lighting integrity. Plus counter-UAS — Eagle One interceptors for the airspace anomalies that historically shut runways for hours.

  • Dams, reservoirs, water utilities

    Spillway and joint inspection from above — finding hairline cracks and seepage before they become emergency events. Reservoir intake monitoring, intake screen integrity, water-treatment plant condition surveys. The asset class where catastrophic-failure cost dwarfs any other risk.

  • Telecom towers and data centers

    Tower-condition inspection (cable, antenna, structure) without the safety-climbing schedule and cost. Plus data-center perimeter and roof inspection — HVAC roof units, perimeter access points, parking-area security. Lights-out monitoring for the lights-out facilities.

  • Government facilities and embassies

    Sovereign-installation protection with NDAA Section 848-compatible hardware. Perimeter overwatch, vehicle-borne IED standoff, crowd-event support during state visits. The data path stays sovereign by design.

  • Petrochemical and industrial sites

    Refinery flare-stack monitoring, tank-farm thermal surveys, fence-line condition, leak detection via thermal + visible-spectrum imaging. Continuous coverage replaces the periodic helicopter survey at a fraction of the recurring cost.

Reference deployments

Three deployments behind the CIP stack.

The integrated CIP offering isn't speculative capability — each layer is anchored on a real, funded, deployed system in our portfolio.

  • Deutsche Bahn — proves the AI at national scale

    33,000-kilometre rail network. 95%+ per-fastener defect detection. 15-minute reports. Same Halo Cloud AI stack, same drone-in-a-box hardware — re-pointable across any per-asset anomaly-detection problem in critical infrastructure.

  • AUDROS — counter-UAS for CIP airspace

    Eagle One net-capture interceptor with CBRN response variant. Scored 98/100 by the European Defence Agency. The c-UAS layer your perimeter system needs as standard, not as an aftermarket add-on.

    See case study
  • Drone-in-a-box — the fixed-site hardware

    Robotic 2-minute battery swap inside the dock, 24/7 availability, edge + cloud compute split. The platform proven on Germany's national rail network, available today for fixed-site CIP deployments.
