Boards and investors
Briefings that make exposure, dependencies, and decision trade-offs legible without overstatement.
Strategic research and advisory
Strategic clarity for contested systems.
EvoDefence helps senior teams make better decisions about dual-use infrastructure, escalation dynamics, and emerging defence technology in open-source, unclassified contexts.
Active research projects
Public tools and research platforms.
EvoDefence develops public-facing research tools that make complex strategic systems easier to inspect. SwarmWatch and PadWatch work as a paired orbital picture: what is in orbit now, and how it got there. Nuclear Risk Watch applies the same open-data logic to civil nuclear hazard exposure.
Orbital picture
SwarmWatch
Tracks the growth of satellite megaconstellations, operator activity, orbital shells, deployment rates, and the infrastructure layer behind modern space security.
Explore SwarmWatch Launch to orbitPadWatch
Turns launch data into a click-to-orbit visualisation: from the pad a rocket left, through a modelled ascent, to the real orbital ring its payload occupies today.
Open PadWatch Live public platformNuclear Risk Watch
Monitors civil nuclear facilities against live natural-hazard and conflict context, giving each elevated site a plain-language reason and visible source trail.
Open Nuclear Risk WatchPurpose
What EvoDefence does.
EvoDefence provides strategic decision support and geopolitical research at the intersection of space, cyber, AI, and defence. The work is designed for leaders who already have capable technical teams, but need sharper framing of risk, incentives, signalling, and second-order effects.
This is not a managed security service, generic consultancy, or alarmist intelligence feed. Engagements are small, focused, and centred on decisions that need clarity without pretending uncertainty has disappeared.
Who it is for
Who it helps.
Founders and operators
Support for defence-adjacent positioning, partner narratives, and credible risk communication.
Policy and risk teams
Open-source research that connects technical systems to escalation dynamics and incentives.
Where we help
Where we help.
Dual-use exposure
Understanding how space-enabled connectivity, imagery, timing, cloud services, and AI infrastructure look in contested environments.
Escalation risk
Assessing how actions, outages, interference, or misattribution may be interpreted by different actors under pressure.
Board clarity
Preparing senior conversations about geopolitical and defence-linked risk with evidence, restraint, and decision relevance.
Strategic positioning
Helping organisations sell, partner, or communicate in defence-adjacent ecosystems without buzzwords or fragile claims.
How to engage
Ways to engage.
Best starting point
Strategic briefing
A 45 to 60 minute executive briefing tailored to a decision, programme, scenario, or stakeholder conversation.
Written clarity
Commissioned analysis
Concise memos, briefing notes, and options analysis for boards, investors, leadership teams, and policy-facing work.
Decision-oriented research
Applied research
Structured research and publication-ready drafting where deeper evidence, comparison, or scenario development is needed.
Selective support
Advisory input
Bounded support around planning cycles, material changes, or senior stakeholder conversations.
Working method
How the work runs.
- Define the decision Clarify the question, time horizon, constraints, and audience.
- Map the system Surface dependencies, actors, incentives, and plausible failure modes.
- Apply strategic logic Assess signalling, escalation, attribution, second-order effects, and uncertainty.
- Deliver the output Provide a briefing, memo, research note, or agreed artefact with explicit next steps.
Research and development
Concepts under active development.
Alongside active public projects, EvoDefence develops product concepts and demonstrators that test where open data, mission context, structured triage, and analyst oversight can support better security decisions. These are R&D areas, not standard consultancy deliverables.
Product concept
GroundWatch
Mission-aware cybersecurity for satellite operators. GroundWatch sits above existing SIEM deployments and enriches alerts with physics-aware checks against the spacecraft mission, contact windows, authorised plans, and owned command paths.
Discuss GroundWatchOperational intelligence prototype
GreyZone Watch
An analyst-facing common operating picture for grey-zone activity below the threshold of armed conflict, combining orbital, GNSS interference, maritime, cyber, sabotage, electronic warfare, and disinformation signals.
