About MatrixSpace
MatrixSpace builds low-power radar nodes that can be deployed individually or combined into a distributed sensing network. Its 360 Radar and Expeditionary products perform local detection and tracking of small aircraft, drones, vehicles and people, while Fusion 360 adds Remote ID and optical sensors to improve identification and cue cameras toward radar tracks.
AiCloud links fixed, mobile and temporary sites into one operating picture, with configurable alert zones, track history and classifications for friendly, potential and confirmed threats. Processing at the edge reduces backhaul requirements and allows systems to continue operating where connectivity is limited; cloud services then aggregate data across wider areas. The architecture supports airspace awareness, counter-UAS, perimeter security and ground monitoring for defence, public-safety and commercial operators, with portable configurations designed for deployment in minutes.
