The operating system for the electromagnetic spectrum
PlatypOS is an operating system designed for all standard computers. When combined with a software-defined radio, it provides powerful, flexible and effective capabilities for visibility of the wireless signals all around us, as well as the ability to secure and maintain control of this invisible domain.
With PlatypOS, any military platform or civil infrastructure site can be equipped - or retrofitted - with advanced electromagnetic capabilities, including the ability to sense, classify, locate and act against unknown or hostile signal emitters.

PlatypOS detects and classifies drones, and locates both the drone and its operator. That includes drones that do not look like drones, such as one flying over a cellular link like any other phone on the network. It cues your effectors, and defeats the drone where you are authorised to.
The same node runs ESM, EMCON, EP, EA and deception by licence.
PlatypOS intercepts, classifies and geolocates radios, data links and radars, for force protection and targeting. It enhances the sensors you already field and turns them into one cohesive, distributed sensor, so PlatypOS-powered sensors are greater than the sum of their parts.
The same node runs counter-UAS, EMCON, EP, EA and deception by licence.
PlatypOS detects your own force’s emissions and shows how visible they make you to the enemy. It enforces the emission state you set, from receive-only to transmission blocked outright, with an emergency override.
The same node runs counter-UAS, ESM, EP, EA and deception by licence.
PlatypOS detects jamming and spoofing aimed at your force, including against satellite navigation, and locates the source, so your operators know what is being done to them and from where.
The same node runs counter-UAS, ESM, EMCON, EA and deception by licence.
PlatypOS jams hostile emitters and attacks their positioning and navigation. Electronic attack is an authorised mode on the node you already field, not a separate product, and it never transmits outside your rules of engagement.
The same node runs counter-UAS, ESM, EMCON, EP and deception by licence.
PlatypOS generates electromagnetic signatures that mislead enemy electronic support about where your force is and what it is made of.
The same node runs counter-UAS, ESM, EMCON, EP and EA by licence.
For airports, prisons, stadiums, ports, power plants and mines. PlatypOS detects and classifies drones, including those flying over a cellular link, locates the drone and its pilot, and alerts your security team before the aircraft is overhead.
The same node runs interference location, network monitoring, jamming and spoofing detection and mobile detection by licence.
For data centres, ports, airports, mines and ground stations. PlatypOS monitors the spectrum across your site, traces interference to its source, and finds the transmitters that should not be there, such as a phone carried into a phone-free control room.
The same node runs drone detection, network monitoring, jamming and spoofing detection and mobile detection by licence.
For mobile network operators and broadcasters. PlatypOS turns the towers and rooftops you already operate into a continuous sensor, locates illegal repeaters, unlicensed transmitters and jammers, and watches the satellite timing that keeps your network synchronised.
The same node runs drone detection, interference location, jamming and spoofing detection and mobile detection by licence.
For autonomous mine fleets, ports, shipping and airports. PlatypOS detects jamming and spoofing as it begins, tells an attack apart from an equipment fault, and locates the source.
The same node runs drone detection, interference location, network monitoring and mobile detection by licence.
For police. PlatypOS runs in a patrol car and detects, locates and monitors drones and transmitters while the car is on the move.
The same node runs drone detection, interference location, network monitoring and jamming and spoofing detection by licence.
Each PlatypOS node is multi-function and can swap tasks in the field instantly - including detection and classification, locating and prioritising possible threats, active learning, and offering a variety of options to operators for response and countermeasures.
PlatypOS nodes don’t have to rely on static and outdated threat libraries - they monitor the behaviour of emitters, and can detect threats, even when they’re hidden.
Sophisticated threats are capable of changing frequency, emission patterns, behaviour, and more. PlatypOS detects these threats, adapts to them, and counters them at light speed.
Total electromagnetic superiority.
Total electromagnetic security.
Contacts appear in ATAK, and in CivTAK, its civilian version, on the devices your team already carries. They see what the mesh has found on the map they already work from, so they can act on it straight away, with no extra screen to watch and no new system to learn.
Detections arrive in any SAPIENT-compatible C2 system, so commanders see the electromagnetic picture alongside everything else they track. PlatypOS joins the sensors you already rely on, with no separate console to staff and no new workflow to build around it.
PlatypOS runs on any hardware: whether on your existing vehicle compute, or on commercial components such as NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or rugged mini PCs with a software-defined radio.

No, PlatypOS is designed to operate even when no connection is available. However, if these are available, it will make use of them as configured by your organisation and/or the operator.
By default, nodes connect through a mesh that PlatypOS sets up and manages itself. They can also be configured to join any network you already run.
It sends what it finds in Cursor-on-Target and SAPIENT, so contacts appear in ATAK and in SAPIENT-compatible C2 systems. It feeds your common operating picture rather than competing with it.
It classifies emitters by how they behave instead of matching them against a stored list of signatures, so an emitter it has never seen is still identified, with no update to wait for.
No. Nodes never transmit outside the rules of engagement the operator sets. A node can be set to receive only, for a covert insertion or an urban mission, and transmission can be blocked outright, with an emergency override.
Both are available. PlatypOS can act autonomously within the limits you set, or keep a human in the loop who approves each action. Either way, an operator can watch what it is doing and take over at any time.
An operator learns the current feature set in half a day, and hands-on training takes less than a week. The technical detail stays out of the way unless the operator asks for it.
It is not a radar, and it has no radar functionality. It is not only a counter-drone system. It does not replace your C2: it feeds the picture you already have. And it is not a replacement for your specialist operators or the systems they already use. It builds on them and takes nothing away.
Yes. The civilian version is purpose-built for the security and regulatory needs of critical infrastructure, mines, ports, airports, aviation and maritime logistics. On a civilian site, PlatypOS is the console, or it reports to CivTAK.
