Security for systems that sense, fly and orbit.
Drones, satellites and the networks that connect them are critical infrastructure, but they are easy to spoof, jam and intrude on. We build the detection and authentication layers that make them trustworthy.
Make every signal accountable.
We think security should start at the physical layer: the sound a drone makes, the radio signature of a transmitter, the behaviour of a network under stress. These signals are hard to fake, and they're available even when cryptography is missing, out of date or compromised.
Mars Labs turns that idea into products and services for operators of airspace, space and communication infrastructure.
Where we work
Acoustic drone detection & classification
Passive acoustic sensing that detects, locates and classifies UAVs, from ground-based perimeters to models that run onboard drones themselves.
Physical-layer satellite authentication
Authenticating satellite transmitters by the unique imperfections in their hardware and RF signals, to detect spoofing without touching the protocol.
Network resilience to attacks
Assessing, hardening and monitoring communication networks so they keep delivering under denial-of-service, intrusion and jamming.
How we work
Rigour
We measure, publish and make every claim verifiable.
Field-first
If it doesn't hold up in wind, noise and interference, it isn't done.
Discretion
Our customers protect sensitive assets. We treat their data the same way.
