Founded 2022 by ex-IAF engineers. Each protected site uses 6 networked Dumbo sensors for sound-triangulation; tested to 2 km detection range with accurate bearing. November 2025 contract for 180 systems for VIP/high-security sites rolling out through 2026. $1.5M pre-seed from Fresh Defense Fund and ICI Fund. Claims ~1/10th the cost of legacy approaches. Also developing quieter UAS propellers and an acoustic-aware mission-planning tool (Waveguide).
