Excelerate Technology Secures ESA Contract for Robotic Security System at UK Critical Infrastructure Site
Excelerate Technology has been awarded a co-funded contract by the European Space Agency Business Applications and Space Solutions (ESA BASS) program. This contract is for the development and demonstration of an automated robotic response system designed for perimeter security at a critical national infrastructure site in the UK. The project, named Project Overview, aims to integrate satellite communications with ground and aerial robotics to enhance safety. When perimeter alarms are triggered, the system will deploy ground robots and aerial drones to investigate incidents rapidly. The system will utilize Excelerate’s resilient satellite and cellular connectivity to ensure continuous, real-time data transmission between robotic platforms and both on-site and remote security control centers, even in challenging operational environments. As part of the trial, Project Overview will incorporate the Nokia Drone Networks “drone-in-a-box” system, allowing aerial drones to launch autonomously for Beyond Visual Lin...
