Drone detection for every platoon

Cata Strato is a dual-use company building electro-optical systems with on-board AI that find, classify and track drones and other objects for defence and critical infrastructure.

Lightweight // Battery-powered // Quick setup

Platoons see drones when it's already too late.

Cheap drones do most of the killing now, and the units getting hit are the ones with nothing to see them coming. A rifle platoon gets a radio scanner that goes deaf the moment a drone flies on fibre-optic or Starlink.

Long-wave infrared and radar can catch those drones, but they weigh too much and cost too much to hand down to a platoon, so they stay at battalion level.

Day & night vision, at a fraction of the cost

patent pending // EP26178964

We pulse two infrared wavelengths and pair them with a normal camera. By day that is three images stacked on the same view, by night two. That comparison gives the on-board computer the object's range and position, and tells roughly what it is made of.

Computer decides on the device, so a soldier does not have to be an operator.

Our patent-pending method does this without the cost of radar or passive infrared.

Applications

Track system on a tripod

Land forces

Cover a platoon or a fixed position that has nothing today.

Track system mounted on a UAS

UAS, UGV and other systems

Mount on a UAS or a UGV to move with the unit or become part of the product.

Perimeter camera angled upward above a razor-wire fence

Civilian sites

Guard a perimeter, a prison, a port, an airport or a power plant.

Easy to integrate

Open API

Tracks, bearings and ranges out over a documented interface.

Standard mounts

Tripod, mast, vehicle plate or a bracket of your own.

Any power source

Battery on patrol, vehicle power on the move, mains at a fixed site.

Built to NATO standards

Sends detections into ATAK, TAK and your C2 over SAPIENT and STANAG

Before you ask

What happens when they jam you?

Nothing. The decision is made on the device, so there is no link to cut. Jam the area and it keeps tracking.

What about drones on fibre-optic or Starlink?

Those are the ones we are built for. An RF scanner goes deaf the moment a drone stops transmitting; we are looking, not listening.

Does it need a trained operator?

No. The computer makes the call and hands out a target. A soldier does not have to interpret a waterfall display.
