Security & Force Protection

Layered protection for naval forces, ports and strategic maritime assets - from underwater intrusion detection to autonomous loitering and aerial overwatch.

All missions

Force protection away from home

A ship or submarine at anchor in a foreign or uncontrolled anchorage has no fixed sensor infrastructure to rely on. Divers, swimmer delivery vehicles and uncrewed underwater systems can approach from below the surface, often with little warning from conventional security measures. PointShield can be deployed directly from the unit to establish diver detection around it for the duration of the stay, and recovered when the unit sails. The capability travels with the platform rather than with the port.

Expand the security perimeter

Sentiq extends protection beyond fixed sensors. SQ autonomous platforms can patrol or investigate suspicious vessels, MarineNav ROVs can inspect hulls and underwater structures, and ORKA UAS with ORKA Dock can provide repeatable aerial overwatch from a fixed or mobile host. These layers are configured around the site and threat picture, giving security teams a flexible way to watch larger areas, investigate anomalies and maintain awareness without continuously committing additional personnel.
The Mission Chain

Sense✕Decide✕Act

Every maritime mission depends on the ability to sense the threat, decide with confidence and act at the right moment. Sentiq brings together sensors, platforms, communications, autonomy and command-and-control to create integrated capabilities across the complete mission loop.
Platforms and Products

Featured Capability

All Platforms + Products

SQ13 USV

A low-signature, four-metre USV combining covert persistence, autonomous control and a 200 kg payload for littoral missions.

SQ DDS

A fixed intruder detection sonar providing continuous, automatic protection of ports, naval bases, energy terminals and offshore platforms.

Mission Outcomes

Layered maritime protection

Combine underwater detection, autonomous patrol, aerial overwatch and close inspection around the specific geography and threat profile of the site.

Earlier threat awareness

Detect, classify and investigate activity in the approaches earlier, creating more time for security teams to understand the contact and protect the vessel, facility or infrastructure.

Flexible force multiplier

Use autonomous and remotely operated assets to widen surveillance, investigation coverage and persistence without requiring a proportional increase in security personnel or permanently committing valuable crewed platforms.

WHERE WE WORK

Mission Sets

All missions

Anti-Submarine Warfare

Detect, localise and maintain awareness of submerged platforms. Sentiq integrates autonomous platforms, underwater sensing and distributed surveillance to extend ASW coverage and strengthen the underwater threat picture.

Hydrography & Marine Survey

Chart the seabed and profile the water column without a crewed vessel. Sentiq configures survey-grade autonomous platforms for hydrographic charting, port bathymetry, offshore energy survey and marine scientific research.

Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance

Sense, and make sense of the maritime landscape. Sentiq combines autonomous surface, subsurface and airborne capability to extend surveillance, reduce exposure and accelerate decision-making.
