Intelligent attritable systems
Engineering attritable, adaptable autonomous systems to help organisations project greater force for the same resource.
From conceptual design to deployment, we help clients navigate the complex trade-off space when developing intelligent but attritable assets.
Small, smart, cheap and many
It is now far cheaper to destroy an asset than protect it. Drones and attritable systems cost far less than aircraft, vessels, tanks, air defences, EW systems and conventional countermeasures, whilst reducing the risk for deployed personnel. These systems demonstrate that having the most advanced technology is no longer the sole path to victory; instead, overwhelming scale driven by low-cost assets is proving decisive on the battlefield of today.
Embracing this doctrinal shift necessitates a scalable industrial base capable of replenishing systems at their attrition rate, alongside significant value engineering expertise to minimize costs while maximizing system capabilities.
At TTP, we draw upon decades of cross-sector experience, delivering swift, value-engineered solutions that determine necessary performance and implement it at the lowest feasible cost. We ensure these assets are capable of mass production and meet rigorous quality standards, enabling warfighters to employ attritable systems effectively before they become obsolete.
Autonomy as a force multiplier
From shrinking the footprint of current operational capabilities, to projecting greater force with the same resource, force multiplication through autonomy is a valuable asset to any fighting force. Autonomous systems teamed with human personnel are more effective, over greater distances, with greater agility and adaptability. They bring real time insights to commanders' fingertips and secure sustainment lines without being a drain on valuable resources.
Unlocking the potential of autonomous systems requires trust, reliability, confidence and a deep understanding of both a technologies’ strengths and limitations. Operational environments are inherently dynamic, demanding robust technologies that can adapt and respond to change.
TTP fuses decades of experience in command and control, sensor innovation, advanced algorithms and human factors to help our clients realise the multiplication effects they desire. We help engineer trusted autonomy where it adds value and preserve the reliable control needed to amplify operational effectiveness.
Software defined – built to adapt
In the rapidly evolving landscape of defence technology, adaptable architectures are crucial to maintaining a strategic advantage. With the nature of threats shifting, tactics changing, and technological advancements accelerating, equipment must be as dynamic and resilient as the strategies it supports. Instead of navigating the costly and time-consuming process of replacing outdated systems, defence technology benefits from interoperable and flexible solutions that can be seamlessly repurposed.
Designing to adapt means embracing modularity, incorporating open standards, and fostering integration across diverse platforms. This approach not only ensures operational readiness but also maximizes the lifecycle and utility of defence systems.
TTP specializes in crafting such agile architectures, leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative design principles to empower defence organizations to swiftly respond to the unpredictable demands of modern conflict scenarios.
How we can help
Reliable command & control
With a track record in developing communication protocols and customradios we bring reliable connectivity to your system. Specialising in low SWaP terminalsour technology gives you reliable control over your assets whether they be sub-surface,on land, airborne or in orbit.
Manned-unmanned teaming
With experts in perception, algorithms and human factors we bring the expertise needed to develop uncrewed systems that integrate smoothly with current SOPs. By augmenting people where it adds value and abstracting un-necessary complexity, we help our clients develop technologies that can truly act as force multipliers.
Design for mass manufacture
Attritable assets are only as good as the industrial base that sustains them. We bring cross sector manufacturing know how from the medical, energy, industrial and telecoms sectors into the design phase. We ensure that systems are engineered with scalable production in mind, streamlining the transition from prototype to production.
Trusted autonomy
We help engineer trusted autonomy where it adds value providing whilst maintain the reliability needed to amplify operational effectiveness. Our expertise in perception systems, novel algorithms and robotics help us give your systems the capability to sense think and act in dynamic environments.
Remote sensing
Remote sensors can yield powerful insights that would be otherwise unattainable. Deploying reliable trustworthy sensors into harsh environments is difficult. From down-hole to in orbit, we have developed sensing solutions for some of the harshest environments possible. Whether its ruggedising an OTS component or developing an entirely new sensing modality from first principles, our engineers and physicists have the expertise needed to sense the almost imperceptible
Regulatory compliance
Regulatory compliance is a pre-requisite for the end user. We have experience in designing systems and devices to meet the requirements of numerous regulators. Whether you need compliance with MIL-STDs, DO-160, NDAA, DAL, ISO-13485, FCC, a CE marking or something more bespoke we have the expertise to bridge the gap from prototype to a certified solution ready for service.
Software defined architectures
As an independent technology development consultancy who specialises in developing and transferring IP, we design open architectures that fulfil your needs. We transfer you the IP so you can avoid vendor lock in and retain the freedom to upgrade systems with the latest software capabilities wherever they may be. You retain control whilst ensuring your systems can keep up with the pace of modern conflicts without costly hardware upgrades.
