About Squarehead Technology
Squarehead Technology develops microphone arrays and processing software for passive acoustic detection. Its systems use digital beamforming to separate sound by direction, locate sources and classify acoustic events. Cameras provide a visual reference, while edge processing turns the sound measurements into information for operators and connected systems.
Discovair serves drone detection and defence applications, including installations that cue other sensors. A 2026 software update adds a hemispheric operating mode that tracks targets in azimuth and elevation using one horizontally deployed sensor. The company also applies acoustic monitoring to industrial machinery and maritime operations, where changes in sound can indicate activity or anomalies. Squarehead supplies the sensing and analysis layer to users and integration partners; the passive arrays detect existing sound without transmitting a radar signal.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-05-23 - Product Launch - Squarehead launches Discovair 360° Hemispheric Mode
A horizontally deployed sensor creates a listening dome that detects and continuously tracks drones in azimuth and elevation. Squarehead said one sensor covers four times the area of directional mode, reducing the number of sensors and associated operating costs. The flat-mounted configuration requires no manual azimuth setup, defaults to true north and uses a compass for field orientation.

The installation places Squarehead microphone-array technology in the vessel's engine room. The system analyzes sound for machinery anomalies and sends monitoring data to a shore-based remote operations center. Reach Remote 1 is an uncrewed surface vessel used for subsea inspection, survey and intervention work.
