Seven solutions that sense, govern, act and command
Sovereign software for defence, security and critical infrastructure. Each solution runs on its own. Together they cover the path from raw sensor data to a governed operational decision, with Consilium as the command layer.
Consilium
Command layer
Sense
Pulse Sentinel
Sensor health assurance
Govern
Harbour Guard
Policy-driven access
Analyse
Cognisight
AI video and sensor analytics
Share
ByteHarbour
Governed data sharing
Task
WayForge
Uncrewed mission planning
Connect layer
RibbonFlow
Decentralised service-mesh, no central hub
Early access
A modular command-and-control platform that connects sensors, platforms and operational systems into one governed view, with alerts, workflows and reporting. Integrates with what you already run.
View solution
Shows whether each sensor is working as it should and how much to trust its output. Faults, drift and degradation are flagged early and reported into Consilium.
View solution
Protects documents, camera feeds and chat with classification and access control, and preserves provenance as data moves between systems, organisations and domains.
View solution
AI analytics for video, sensor and intelligence data. Operators build detection workflows in Consilium, assign them to cameras and surface the events that need attention.
View solutionDynamic, policy-driven access control. Decisions reflect identity, device, location, time and mission, with granular, time-bound outcomes and a record behind each one.
View solutionMission planning, road-network planning and vehicle control for uncrewed systems, inside Consilium. A hardware-agnostic layer that connects platforms to the wider picture.
View solution
A decentralised service-mesh. Nodes announce services, discover what they need and exchange messages, with no central hub. Identity is checked per message at the Espanaro layer. Early access, with hardening in progress.
View solutionThe solution is not the starting point. The mission problem is. Espanaro selects, configures and integrates the right solution components based on the operational requirement.
Capability
Engineering that stands behind the software
Four capability lines support the integration, deployment and through-life operation of Espanaro solutions. The same teams are also available directly, for programmes that need specialist engineering.
Systems Engineering & Technical Architecture
Define, design and assure complex mission and enterprise systems from operational need through to implementation.
Supports
Consilium
ByteHarbour
Secure Data & Information Engineering
Engineer information so it can be governed, protected, exchanged and exploited securely across organisational and mission boundaries.
Supports
ByteHarbour
ConsiliumIntegration, Interoperability & Mission Systems
Make disparate platforms, sensors, applications and organisations operate as one coherent capability.
Supports
Consilium

Research & Innovation
Research & Innovation
Espanaro uses research and innovation to turn emerging operational needs into practical, testable and deployable capability.
Problem-led Innovation
We start with the operational problem, not the technology trend.
Rapid Experimentation
We build, test and trial quickly, and capture the evidence that informs procurement and deployment.
Route into the Solutions
Where research proves value, Espanaro matures it into the solutions.
Track Record
Proven Delivery in Complex Environments
Espanaro is built around practical delivery. Our work spans complex environments where systems must integrate, operators must trust the output, and customers need evidence that capability works.
Multi-sensor Integration
Experience integrating radar, fibre sensing, cameras, autonomous systems and operational data feeds.
Live Trial Environments
Support for field trials, demonstrations, operational validation and evidence capture.
Human-in-the-loop Control
Workflows designed around operator judgement, authority, auditability and accountable decision-making.
Secure Interoperability
Architectures that support controlled data sharing, policy enforcement and operational governance.
Edge & Deployed Operations
Capability designed for constrained, disconnected or low-bandwidth environments.
Mission-focused Delivery
A culture built around making capability work, not producing paperwork for its own sake.
Partner Ecosystem
Partnerships That Deliver Capability
Espanaro works with mission owners, technology providers and specialist partners to deliver the right operational outcome. We do not believe every answer has to be built in-house.
Mission Partners
Organisations who need operational capability delivered. Espanaro supports from requirement definition through to a fielded solution.
Integration Partners
Systems integrators and prime contractors who need specialist technical depth, solution components or delivery augmentation.
Technology Partners
Companies whose platforms, sensors or tools complement Espanaro's solutions and can be integrated into mission solutions.
Delivery Partners
SMEs and specialist firms who bring niche expertise, clearances or capacity to complement Espanaro-led delivery.
