About MAGIC Series
MAGIC is Notch Technologies’ first deployable family of software-defined metamaterial radio-frequency systems. The architecture combines engineered materials, embedded control and electronic beam adaptation to shape the antenna response without relying on a conventional mechanically steered dish.
The platform is intended for drones, robots, vehicles and other size-, weight- and power-constrained systems that must maintain communications or sensing performance while moving. Software control allows the radio-frequency behaviour to be reconfigured around changing orientation, interference and mission requirements. MAGIC remains an early product family moving from development into application-specific integration programmes.
