Kaiku Systems

Low-cost drone detection.

We design detection systems for small uncrewed aircraft, built around a simple premise: watching the sky shouldn’t be prohibitively expensive.

What we do

We build systems that detect small drones and we design them to a price.

Field demo Output from our field demo cameras: the raw frame, the same signal once noise reduction has run, and the target left standing clear of the background.
Fusion platform The platform running today: bearings from three cameras fused into one track, with altitude, speed and confidence resolved as it moves.
  • Sensing

    Detection hardware designed for low unit cost, delivering top class performance.

  • Processing

    Software that turns raw sensor readings into clear, usable information.

  • Deployment

    Systems meant to be straightforward to install, operate, and maintain.

Approach

  • Cost is a constraint, not a compromise

    Affordability is part of the engineering brief from day one — not a discount applied at the end.

  • Simple over clever

    Fewer parts, fewer failure modes. We prefer designs that are easy to reason about and easy to repair.

  • Built for the field

    Equipment has to earn its keep where it is deployed — not only on the bench.
