Node
Autonomous Remote Sensing

AWARENESS, WHERE YOU NEED IT.

NORD gives organisations persistent awareness of places they cannot continuously observe themselves.

Place it on an approach, perimeter, route, remote asset or critical site. NORD observes independently and alerts the operator when a customer-defined event occurs.

You don't add another screen to watch. You add another place you can see.

REMOTE AWARENESS

OBSERVATION WITHOUT PRESENCE.

NORD monitors approaches, routes, perimeters, remote assets and critical infrastructure without requiring continuous human presence.

One person can establish an additional observation point, then continue with other work. NORD keeps watch and reports when a configured event occurs.

SCALE

ONE NODE WATCHES AN APPROACH. A NETWORK WATCHES THE TERRAIN.

1 NODE
WATCH

One NORD creates an autonomous observation point over a trail, building, vehicle, position or likely approach. It observes while the operator does something else.

10 NODES
PROTECT

Multiple nodes create overlapping observation around a route, perimeter, worksite, temporary base or critical site. Events can be correlated between nodes to improve confidence and establish direction and movement.

100+ NODES
UNDERSTAND

At scale, isolated detections become terrain context. Observations across many nodes create a distributed picture of movement and activity over a wider operational area.

Adding nodes increases awareness without proportionally increasing operator workload.
DISTRIBUTED HARDWARE

DEPLOY MORE. SEE MORE.

DESIGNED TO SCALE, NOT TO BECOME A SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE.

01

DEPLOY MANY

Designed for distributed sensing.

02

LOSE ONE

Individual node loss does not collapse the network.

03

REPLACE QUICKLY

Standardized hardware rather than exquisite installations.

04

SCALE WITH THE OPERATION

More terrain can be covered by adding nodes.

DEPLOYMENT MOBILITY

THE SENSOR LINE MOVES WITH YOU.

At approximately one kilogram, NORD can be carried by one person in a backpack, deployed without prepared infrastructure and repositioned when the operation changes.

No external power. No cabling. No specialist installation team.

Place it. Activate it. Move on.

INTELLIGENCE LOGIC

QUIET UNTIL IT MATTERS.

NORD does not stream raw sensor data continuously. It processes locally. It interprets locally. It stores locally. It communicates when something relevant happens.

Diag_01
01
LOWER BANDWIDTHRelevant events rather than permanent raw video streams.
02
LOWER RF EXPOSUREReduced transmission time reduces the node's electronic footprint.
03
LOWER POWER CONSUMPTIONSensors and communications operate according to need rather than continuously at maximum load.
04
LOWER OPERATOR LOADOperators receive events rather than staring at empty screens.
05
LOCAL INDEPENDENCEThe node continues detecting and storing information when communications are degraded or unavailable.
SENSOR LOGIC

USE ONLY WHAT THE EVENT REQUIRES.

01
PASSIVE WATCH

A low-power event sensor monitors for meaningful change.

02
DETECTION

An event wakes the electro-optical sensing layer.

03
CONFIRMATION

Visual processing attempts to identify and classify the event.

04
ENVIRONMENTAL ESCALATION

Where conditions require it, infrared sensing can be activated.

05
CORROBORATION

Acoustic sensing adds another source of evidence.

06
OPTIONAL ACTIVE SENSING

Optional sensors such as radar can be integrated where operating requirements justify them.

DETECT → CONFIRM → CLASSIFY → REPORT
CUSTOMER CONFIGURATION

SAME NODE. DIFFERENT PRIORITY.

NORD's perception models can be configured around the events and entities each customer needs to detect. The physical sensing platform remains common while the operational definition of relevance changes. NORD does not determine what matters. The organisation deploying it does.

SOVEREIGN INTELLIGENCE

LOCAL MEANS LOCAL.

NORD's core sensing and inference capability runs locally on the node. It does not require permanent cloud connectivity to perform its observation task. We use open-source models and prioritize European technology and control.

HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION

BUILT FOR THE TERRAIN.

NORD is built to work unobtrusively in demanding environments. Its rugged outdoor casing is designed for mud, freezing rain, dark forests and remote sites.

NORD Ground
Variant 01

NORD Ground

Ground places sensing directly into the terrain. Optimized for seismic and close-proximity observation along trails, access routes, constrained passages and site approaches.

NORD Perch
Variant 02

NORD Perch

Perch elevates the observation point for wider visual and acoustic coverage over open terrain, borders, and facility perimeters.

Mesh Architecture

01
LOCAL DETECTION
Each NORD independently observes its immediate environment.
02
OVERLAPPING OBSERVATION
Nearby nodes provide multiple observations of terrain and events.
03
CORRELATION
Observations can be combined to improve confidence and establish movement, direction and context.
04
EVENT REPORTING
Relevant information is transmitted to the operational layer.
05
SHARED PICTURE
Operators see events across the terrain rather than managing individual sensor feeds.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION

ONE NODE BECOMES A NETWORK.

While a single NORD provides a valuable observation point, multiple nodes create a distributed sensing network. Detections move from the environment into the HELM Platform, giving operators a live shared picture without managing individual sensor feeds.
