CHAOS Industries
Networking distributed radar nodes to create earlier, more resilient warning
The product
Vanquish expeditionary distributed early-warning radar, Astria long-range radar and the underlying Coherent Distributed Networks architecture for time-synchronized, cooperative sensing and C2 interoperability.
The thesis
Distributed sensing can widen coverage, improve resilience to node loss or jamming and provide earlier warning against drones, aircraft and missiles at lower cost than relying only on exquisite monolithic radars.
How it runs
Defense hardware and systems company that designs sensor nodes, synchronization technology and network-level processing, then deploys and integrates the systems with military, border, commercial-air and partner C2 environments.
How it earns
CHAOS has disclosed Air Force development funding and operational deployments. Inference: revenue is generated through radar-system sales, government R&D and integration contracts, and support for deployed sensing networks.
Why it wins
Coherent timing and cooperative processing allow multiple lower-cost nodes to act as a single sensing system whose performance and resilience can improve as nodes are added; the Ziva acquisition added wireless time-synchronization capability.
