What it sells
Track drones and missiles without radars - Accurate, Passive, Scalable
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedDefense and air-defence procurement (militaries, border and critical-infrastructure protection agencies).
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Low-altitude drone swarms (Shahed-type) overwhelm centralised, emitting radars that are expensive, jammable and hard to scale.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Mentat nodes are deployed on rooftops and elevated infrastructure as a distributed passive optical sensing mesh; nodes share observations to build a real-time 3D air picture (position, velocity, heading) that feeds interceptors and effectors.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Hardware sensor-node network; claims up to 10x more cost-effective than alternatives and coverage that scales by adding nodes. Revenue model not stated.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
UnverifiedDirect sales to defence customers via "Plan your coverage" contact and a coverage simulator; no self-serve.
