UxS Situational Awareness

Threat Awareness for Critical Infrastructure.

You define the threat. We give you confidence.

PHALANX iZon gives security teams a passive, local, human-confirmed awareness layer for RF and acoustic signals-of-interest. It helps teams sense, cue, confirm, and document what happened before escalation decisions are made.

Low SWaP (size, weight, and power) and a rugged design give iZon tactical applicability at the "edge" and a modular open systems approach (MOSA) enables interoperability and supply chain resilience.

Passive sensingLocal correlationHuman-confirmed records
UAS Mission Gap

Security teams cannot defend against what they cannot see.

Most sites do not have a structured way to detect, cue, confirm, and preserve UAS-related incidents. Reports stay anecdotal. Screenshots, radio calls, and memory are not enough to support escalation, funding, or policy decisions.

Sense

Was there a possible UAS or signal anomaly?

Cue

Where should the team look?

Confirm

Who observed, acknowledged, or rejected it?

Document

What record supports escalation and incident-record creation?

Mitigation is downstream. The first requirement is to cue the operators: where to look, why it matters, and what record exists.
Approach

Awareness-first unlocks action.

Mitigation-first strategies are too narrow for many domestic critical-infrastructure and regulatory environments. Awareness-first solutions create the record that unlocks the next step.

Deploy the First Layer

COTS-based awareness cells priced under the friction line. Micro-purchase aligned. Modular. Rapidly deployable.

Create the Record

Sense → Cue → Confirm → Document. Operators receive where to look, why it matters, and what evidence exists.

Share Under Policy

Sites stay in control of their own records. Selected incident metadata can be shared with authorized neighbors when policy allows.

The strategy is "sense" density, human confirmation, and policy-controlled knowledge sharing.
The Kit

Counter drones AND cost asymmetry.

Low Cost, Low SWaP perimeter sensors and wearable + adaptable observer kits - pre-configured for data fusion and deployment out-of-the-box.

02 · The Hyper-enabled Security Guard

Mobile Observer Kit

Wearable detection and human-confirmation kit for field teams.

  • Designed for hands-free use
  • Mobile Remote ID detection
  • Extends the site sensor network
  • Supports human confirmation in the field
  • Connects with static Links and the Chain
  • Feeds the iZon evidence workflow
  • Sends and receives messages and commands from SOC

Product visuals are illustrative. Final hardware, software, and deployment configuration may vary by site and policy environment.

03 · Command

Multiple Links enable the "Chain"

SOC Overwatch fuses passive RF and acoustic detections from PHALANX Links with human observations from Mobile Observer Kits into a common operating picture for point defense. Actionable. Auditable.

SOC Overwatch
Fused, confirmed, and recorded.

Overwatch is the only place the full chain comes together — sensors, observers, confirmations, and the timeline of decisions. One pane of glass. Every action timestamped and reviewable.

Mesh Layer

From site awareness to area coordination.

PHALANX Link nodes watch fixed points. Mobile Observer Kits add human confirmation. The Local Chain turns local activity into a site record. When authorized sites participate, Chains can share selected metadata into a policy-controlled mesh.

Links create local coverage

Fixed passive sensors observe RF, Remote ID, acoustic, and local signal patterns around a defended area.

Observers confirm in the field

Mobile Observer Kits give cleared personnel a way to receive cues, check what is happening, and add human confirmation.

The Chain organizes the site

The Local Chain correlates site signals, observer input, and operating context without pushing raw local records outside the site.

The Mesh shares what matters

Participating Chains can share selected incident metadata so neighboring sites see relevant activity without surrendering local control.

Local records stay local. The mesh shares selected incident metadata, not raw surveillance.
Incident Record

The durable output is a human-confirmed record.

Every cue preserves what was observed, why it mattered, who confirmed it, and what evidence supports escalation.

Stakeholder Benefits
  • Operators know where to look and what was confirmed
  • Leadership and counsel know what was known, when, and by whom
  • Authorized responders receive a reviewable, evidence-ready record
  • Policy and funding teams see aggregated, de-identified threat patterns
iZon turns a cue into a reviewable case file. Software organizes the evidence. Humans confirm the record.

Who needs the first layer?

High-consequence physical sites with security responsibility, limited CUAS authorities, or lacking an affordable awareness layer.
