SECURITY & DEFENCE
Chemical awareness for high-risk environments
Persistent, distributed chemical sensing for defence, security, and critical infrastructure protection.
The Challenge
Security and defence operations increasingly require rapid detection of airborne threats — from hazardous chemicals to environmental anomalies. Existing detection systems are often bulky, power-hungry, and limited in coverage, leaving critical gaps in environmental awareness across distributed operating theatres.
The Opportunity
Ultra-low-power, highly stable sensors can be deployed at scale across perimeters, facilities, and mobile assets — creating a persistent chemical sensing network that operates continuously without the maintenance burden of legacy systems. This enables earlier threat detection and faster response.
OUR CAPABILITY
Persistent Chemical Surveillance
Altered Carbon’s ultra-low-power sensing technology enables persistent, distributed monitoring in environments where reliability, accuracy, and scale are critical.
Multiple applications are already under investigation with partners across defence, security, and critical-infrastructure sectors. Our graphene-based sensors offer the stability and endurance required for long-duration deployments in demanding conditions.
