Threat detection.
Deployable everywhere.

Stronghold AI builds AI-enabled sensing systems that detect drones and other fast-evolving threats in real time, across vehicles, forward positions and critical infrastructure.

AURA is deployed with operational units in Ukraine. LUMINA has been field-tested in Ukraine and demonstrated to European armed forces. Dual use by design. Affordable at scale.

| Our mission

Detection everywhere it is needed,
at a cost that scales.

Low-cost drones and other cheap threats are changing the economics of protection. Six-figure systems cannot cover every vehicle, base, border point or critical site. Stronghold AI builds affordable sensing systems that can be deployed where coverage is missing, giving operators more warning, more context and more ways to respond.

| THE PLATFORM

A reusable sensing platform. Product families built from it.

Stronghold AI combines multimodal sensing, edge AI and distributed networking into one deployable platform. It lets us configure systems for different ranges, signatures and deployment contexts without rebuilding from first principles. A vehicle can use compact last-layer protection. A naval, border or infrastructure site can use longer-range sensors on the same foundations.

MULTIMODAL AI

Sound, vision and RF, fused where the mission requires it

Multiple sensing pipelines cross-check detections and reduce reliance on any single signal. The platform is not dependent on RF emissions alone.

DISTRIBUTED AI

Edge inference. Local operation. Networked coordination.

Each node processes detections locally and can operate without cloud dependency. Networked together, nodes share alerts and context to form a wider sensing mesh.

Hardware agnostic

Commercial and specialist sensors configured to mission, range and budget.

Target agnostic

Modalities selected for the threat set, from RF-emitting drones to low-signature and RF-silent threats.

Network agnostic

Standalone, peer-to-peer or connected to customer networks. Local inference continues when disconnected.

Output agnostic

Alerts, tracks and triggers routed to operator displays, C2 systems or approved response workflows.

The product changes with the requirement. The platform does not. A convoy, UGV or checkpoint can use compact, low-cost sensing. A base, port, offshore site or naval requirement can use longer-range optics, RF and other sensor packages on the same software, edge-inference and integration layer.

| The product family

Product families built for the field.

AURA and LUMINA are the first public product families built on the Stronghold AI platform. AURA is deployed with operational units in Ukraine. LUMINA has been field-tested in Ukraine and demonstrated to European armed forces. Each product family can be configured for different ranges, sensors and deployment contexts as requirements evolve.

| AURA AR-1
First AURA configuration

AURA AR-1 listens and sees in noisy, moving environments. It uses edge AI to detect, classify and alert on close-range threats including RF-silent threats such as fibre-linked FPVs. Built for vehicle deployment, UGV integration and fixed-site protection, AURA gives operators a compact sensing layer where conventional systems are too costly, heavy or slow to deploy.

Last-layer threat detection for vehicles, UGVs and protected positions.

| LUMINA LM-1
First LUMINA configuration

Distributed RF sensing and video interception for drone-threat awareness.

LUMINA LM-1 watches the spectrum. It detects and classifies signals from 0.1 to 11.9 GHz, intercepts hostile analogue FPV video, and gives operators a live view of RF activity around protected sites, vehicles and tactical positions. Built for distributed deployment, LUMINA turns low-cost sensing nodes into a wider picture of the signal environment.

| Dual use

Dual use by design.

The same sensing platform that supports forward positions, vehicles and bases can protect power sites, ports, airports, prisons, data centres and other critical infrastructure. Stronghold AI systems process detections at the edge, can operate without cloud dependency, and support customer-controlled data handling. Defence use comes first. The same architecture scales to the civilian sites now facing military-grade threats.

Built in Europe to strengthen allied resilience across defence and critical infrastructure protection.

| Where we deploy

Built for contested environments. Configured for protected sites.

Defence

  • Sensing for allied forces, vehicles, bases, borders and forward positions.

  • Deployable as standalone nodes, vehicle-mounted systems or networked sensing layers, supporting operators where threats move faster than conventional protection can scale.

Government

  • Protection for transport hubs, public sites, borders, prisons and civic infrastructure.

  • Edge-processed detection and customer-controlled data handling for security teams that need capability without unnecessary dependency.

Industry

  • Threat awareness for energy assets, ports, pipelines, data centres, airports, stadiums and other high-value sites.

  • Configurable sensing packages for infrastructure operators facing drone, RF and perimeter threats.
