INTURAI VENTURES PROVES AIRBORNE PRESENCE INTELLIGENCE, ADDRESSING DEFENCE, SECURITY AND RESCUE MARKETS

Inturai Ventures Corp. has successfully completed demonstration flights of its airborne sensor. Flown under a standard drone, a single pass mapped where people and devices were located across an entire site, including inside buildings, using only signals already in the air.

Highlights:

• Inturai's sensor, flown under a standard drone, mapped the locations of people and devices across an entire site, including inside buildings, in a single pass;
• Running on standard drones, the system is quick and affordable to deploy, with the commercial model focused on higher-margin software licences;
• The flights showed clear uses in search and rescue, security, and crowd monitoring, opening commercial pathways in defence and security markets.

The sensor is a small receiver that clips under an ordinary drone. It listens for the everyday Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals that phones, smart watches and earbuds give off. It sends out nothing of its own, so it is hard to detect and fast to fly.

Every device the drone hears is displayed on a live map in the area it was heard, along with how close it is and when it was last seen. The system protects privacy. It never identifies individuals and automatically handles how modern phones hide their identities.

Ed Clarke, chief executive officer of Inturai Ventures, commented: "These flights prove we can map who and what is present across a whole site from a standard drone, using signals that are already in the air. Passive, airborne and low-cost is exactly what defence, security and rescue operators have asked for, and Inturai is now positioned to deliver it."

The advantage is simple. Fixed sensors must be installed and maintained, and active systems reveal their own position. Inturai's sensor does neither. One operator with one small drone can cover a compound, stadium, a border, a disaster zone or a battleground and know in real time where people are.

The flights showed clear commercial uses: locating people in search-and-rescue operations, monitoring a perimeter without being noticed, estimating crowd size, and determining whether a building is occupied or empty. These are everyday needs across defence, security and large-site monitoring.

The airborne sensor is the next step in Inturai's road map, following its off-line and mesh capability, the Duo-1 platform, and a growing set of commercial engagements. Because it runs on standard drones, deployment is low cost, and the commercial model is built around higher-margin software licences. The company intends to actively commercialize the technology with defence, security, and search-and-rescue partners with its rapid made-to-order model.
