Our Mission

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE DESERVES A PERMANENT WATCHFUL EYE.

Energy grids, railways, water systems, and industrial sites keep society running. Yet most go unprotected against a rapidly evolving threat landscape — drone espionage, perimeter intrusion, sabotage — that outpaces traditional guarding and legacy CCTV.

Karakal AI exists to close that gap. We build autonomous surveillance platforms that operate continuously, detect threats before they escalate, and document every incident in compliance with German and EU law — so your security team acts on intelligence, not guesswork.

Where manual guarding is too slow, where camera coverage creates blind spots, and where compliance documentation is non-negotiable — that is where Karakal AI operates.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Five interlocking layers delivering genuine autonomous protection — not just surveillance.

01 · Detection
Drone & Perimeter Detection
Passive radar detects drones up to 1.5 km radius. Micro-Doppler analysis differentiates propeller rotation from bird wing-flap. Perimeter intrusion detection at 500 m range, 360°, day and night, all weather.
Passive radarPTZ 4K360°
02 · Fusion
Multimodal AI Sensor Fusion
Radar, RF, acoustic, and thermal sensors unified by a proprietary on-device fusion model. Each modality compensates for the others' blind spots — together achieving accuracy no single sensor can match.
RF sensorAcousticThermal IR
03 · Compliance
KRITIS-Native Compliance
Automated structured incident reporting to BBK via API. Management liability audit trail per §20(2) KRITIS-DachG. Resilience plan documentation export, ready for regulatory submission.

HOW THE KARAKAL TOWER SEES.

Six independent sensor modalities — each compensating for the other's blind spots — fused by a proprietary on-device AI model running at 157 TOPS on NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX.

01

PTZ Camera — Axis Q6135-LE

4K, 360°, wide dynamic range. Primary optical sensor for classification, visual verification, and evidence-grade event recording. AI-driven person and vehicle detection.

Sweden 🇸🇪4K · 360°Day/Night
02

Passive Radar — Robin Radar IRIS

360° 3D detection to 3 km. Micro-Doppler analysis distinguishes drone propeller rotation from bird wing-flap. Fully passive — no active emissions, completely covert operation.

Netherlands 🇳🇱3 km rangePassive · covert
03

RF Sensor — Aaronia IsoLOG 3D-DF

9 kHz to 20 GHz spectrum coverage. Identifies specific drone models via RF fingerprint and locates the operator. Covers all commercially-controlled drones that radar may miss at short range.

Germany 🇩🇪9kHz–20GHzOperator location
04

MEMS Acoustic Array — sensiBel

Directional microphone array detecting characteristic drone motor frequencies. Critical for optically-guided drones with zero RF emissions — the most dangerous modern threat vector.

EU/NATO Supply Chain

Data Sovereignty by Design

Full on-premises deployment option — all sensor data processed and stored locally. Nothing leaves your network without explicit authorisation. Hybrid cloud available for fleet analytics only. BSI-aligned architecture throughout.

On-Premises Option

KRITIS-Native from Day One

Not a surveillance product retrofitted for compliance — a compliance platform with surveillance built in. BBK API, management liability audit trail, and resilience plan documentation are core features, not afterthoughts.

KRITIS-DachG · §15a LuftSiG
The infrastructure that powers Europe deserves more than a camera and a guard. It deserves a system that never blinks, never sleeps, and never misses a threat.
