Defence-adjacent (civil dual-use)

Civil sensing only. Nothing else.

Lawful dual-use civil sensing only: northern infrastructure, maritime awareness and critical-infrastructure resilience. No weapons, no positioning as a defence contractor.

4,251 open instruments in the ocean domain

01Deployment scenarios

3 ways the grid is deployed here.

From the sector research, each with the observatory template that serves it where one exists.

Template · northern-civil

Civil observatories supporting northern infrastructure

Weather and ionospheric observatories, communications and power at remote sites that surveillance programmes may share.

Hardware & power · Sensors & instruments

Scenario

Research and development route through the defence science programme

A science-and-technology programme on all-domain situational awareness.

02Proof

What buyers ask to see.

The evidence a procurement in this sector asks for, from the sector research. Each item is produced by the grid as a record, not written up afterwards.

  • Controlled-goods registration
  • Security screening and ownership status
  • Where they apply
  • Are registry-gated claims and are not stated on this site

03Participation

Where communities can host the grid.

Community

Join the community

One account for every community, platform and the Nexus Observatory app.
Open data

Use the open networks

Public observing networks on their own terms, ready to reuse.
Hosting

Host a station

Tell us about a site; we bring the survey, the design and the crew.

04Lines

The lines that serve it.

3 of the nine enterprise lines carry the scenarios above, ranked by how many name their work.

2 scenarios

Sensors & instruments

Measurements that carry their own proof.
1 scenario

Protocol & Grid

Your grid, on the open protocol.
1 scenario

Hardware & power

Built for the site, not the lab.

05Search terms and open work

How the sector names the problem.

The terms buyers and programmes use, and open projects in the space, named as factual references only. Naming a project is not an endorsement or a relationship.
