We make radar seekers for interceptors. The seeker — the sensor that finds and locks onto targets — is the most critical and costly component in every interceptor. Developing a radar seeker takes a 200+ person team at Raytheon and hundreds of millions of dollars. We’ve built a pipeline which automates their entire engineering pipeline, and can produce working seekers in weeks, not years.

Vernius builds low-cost active radar seekers for counter-UAS, letting any interceptor detect Shahed-class targets beyond visual range in all weather.
