Lidar + Radar + Camera

SAW wHet

Counter-UAS, the way an owl hunts.

What it is

One unit. Three sensors. Total awareness.

The SAWWHET (pronounced "wet", like the Northern Saw-whet owl) is an all-in-one perception module that fuses optical, radio and LiDAR data into a single picture of what's moving around you.

Built for the edge, it pairs a millimeter-accurate Lidar scanner with a wide-field Radar array and a high-sensitivity Camera, so it sees through darkness, weather, and clutter.

Whether you need to count people through a crowd or detect and classify a drone approaching your perimeter, wHet delivers a reliable, low-latency threat picture — in a package small enough to mount anywhere.

Radar reaches far. Lidar defines exact shape. The camera confirms identity. Together they never blink.

Capabilities

Three senses, fused into one verdict.

Each sensor covers the others' blind spots. Fusion logic weighs Radar range, Lidar shape, and Camera classification to produce a single, confident track.

Long-range

Radar

24/7 wide-area detection through fog, rain and darkness. Pinpoints incoming drones and people at long range, independent of light.

Precision

Lidar

Millimetre-accurate 3D point clouds build an exact shape and size of every target — so a bird is never confused with a quadcopter.

Identification

Camera

High-sensitivity optical sensor confirms identity with AI classification and provides the evidence you need to act with confidence.

01

People counter-UAS

Track and count people through crowds, perimeters and restricted zones — turning raw sensor feeds into a live operational picture.

02

Counter-UAS

Detect, classify and localise hostile drones automatically, then cue mitigation — the small owl silently hunting its prey.

The Predator Story

“This small owl may look cute, but it's, in fact, a fierce predator!”

The Northern Saw-whet owl is one of the smallest owls in North America — barely bigger than a robin. It looks gentle, almost harmless.

But at night it hunts with devastating efficiency: near-silent flight, incredible hearing, and precise, decisive strikes in total darkness.

That's exactly how the SAWWHET works. Small enough to mount anywhere. Quiet enough to be invisible. Precise enough to take decisive action the moment it matters.
