The hardware-agnostic operating system for drone defense
Surtr builds ParallaxOS, the open operating system for counter-UAS. It takes sensor data from any radar, RF detector, camera, or acoustic array and fuses it into a single unified picture with AI-driven threat classification and engagement recommendations. One interface, any hardware, human in the loop.
