We can put you in contact with the MoD Personnel who supervised these projects. This will only be arranged where we qualify the relevance of your interest. Such introductions will only be made to other MoD employees.

MoD, Charybdis Phase 1.

We are one of the companies which was awarded a contract to research technologies to detect hostile submarines. We worked with ten PhD Research Professors, from four different UK Universities and two small manufacturing firms.

At our final presentation to the Submarine Delivery Agency, we included (in person) eight of our PhD Researchers at the meeting and two remotely. That meeting then involved some detailed, topics which enabled us to demonstrate the depth and breadth of practical experience that our PhD Research Professors had, specifically aligned to underwater technology.

We also included (in person) our underwater vehicle manufacturing company, who explained how they would manufacture our designed underwater vehicle.

Although (not required as part of Charybdis Phase 1), we developed a VLF Radio to TRL 4, which has a substantial data throughput (even underwater), small antenna and (later as part of a Dstl Funded Marine Project) we added automated directional alignment and tracking capability.

MoD, Secure Communications between UAV’s, UUV’s and USV’s.

The MoD funded us to develop a TRL 6 Project, whose capabilities are similar to a combined; BAE NetVIPR™ , BAE Trinity™ and OpNet.

We developed and built this to TRL 6 in six months. At the end of the project we were invited to demonstrate it at the combined QinetiQ and Dstl Wireless Event, and later to the Senior Royal Corps of Signals Management Team, from NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) at Imjin Barracks.

We named our solution LYNX and it allows us to communicate between Uncrewed Vehicles back to LYNX or they can securely communicate directly to “in-service” communication systems.

At the same time as this project, we developed a Dstl SAPIENT Interface, which we successfully demonstrated to the Chair of the Dstl SAPIENT Panel, 18 months ahead of the QinetiQ officially funded upgrade to include Protobuf. This could be important where it is planned to interface with USA assets.

MoD, Dstl. A Marine Specific project to design and build an Automatic Troposcatter Alignment & Tracking System.

We delivered this project in four months. It was tested using “in service” Troposcatter radios, and Dstl shared the Final Project Report with the US Department of Defense.

Troposcatter can have long range capability and high data throughput, but the “Tropo-Scatter Effect” is negatively influenced in a marine environment, because ships, helicopters, planes will move. As they move, the Troposcatter dishes lose optimum signal path lock, and the communication link fails.

Our project designed and built to TRL 4, an automated mounting system, which was interfaced to and tested with “in service” Troposcatter radios.

We demonstrated how we could move the dishes, such that they initially could “find or locate” the distant Troposcatter dish, and then maintain optimum radio lock, when one or both Dishes are moving.

This technology could be used with mini Troposcatter Dishes on our UUV's, USV's and UAV's. Or we could use our Specially Developed VLF Radio System, to maintain communication. Note. Remembering that our TRL 4, VLF Radio System, has a high data throughput, a small & directional antenna, and operates underwater.
