Fiducial

Corporate marketperceptionsafetyCurated record

TU Delft spin-off building autonomous counter-drone and UAV navigation software that operates without GPS or radar: Chain Home (passive visual/thermal distributed detection), Pathfinder (GPS-free positioning via visual odometry and terrain recognition) and Intercept (onboard threat detection, tracking and engagement on lightweight compute). The stack favors deterministic classical computer vision and spatial geometry, using learning-based AI selectively. Software has been field-validated in combat conditions with drone manufacturers operating along European front lines, and an unnamed major European aircraft manufacturer uses it for industrial inspection. Raised EUR 2M+ in April 2026 led by Graduate Ventures and Secfund. Note: prior-watchlist flag was a false positive (grep collision with an unrelated entry); no ruling on Fiducial exists.
