revolutionary SkyGuardian® remotely piloted aircraft system
(RPAS) that has been missionized using “bolt-on/bolt-off” maritime
sensors. SeaGuardian is designed to fly over the horizon via
satellite for over 30 hours (depending on configuration) in all
types of weather and safely integrate into civil airspace, enabling
joint forces and civil authorities to deliver real-time situational
awareness anywhere in the maritime domain—day or night. This
highly versatile maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft can
seamlessly integrate a centerline wide-area maritime radar, an
automatic identification system (AIS), electronic support measures,
and a self-contained anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission kit.
SeaGuardian not only integrates the most advanced maritime
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities,
but it is also the first RPAS in its class to enable real-time search
and patrol above and below the ocean’s surface.




Azalea™ is our programme to launch a multi-sensor, multi-role satellite system with powerful Radio Frequency (RF) capabilities into low Earth orbit. The system will gather a wide range of data and analyse it in-orbit, using on-board machine learning to deliver intelligence wherever it’s needed.
The technology provided by Azalea will enable us to deliver advanced Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities – boosting the UK’s ability to understand threats and hazards in, from and through space.
We are collaborating with and investing in the space ecosystem to develop Azalea, supplementing our in-house capability to create, launch and operate end-to-end space missions.
