Our Team

We have assembled a collection of some of the brightest minds from a range of backgrounds, covering Sales and Marketing, Operations, and Technology Development.

Our team has a deep collective knowledge of the UAS sector, having undertook projects from rapid prototyping to custom large fixed-wing builds.

Carl is a high-profile innovator and entrepreneur. In recent years has become a respected thought-leader in Counter Terror technology development, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Carl incorporated one of the earliest adoptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into detection and uncrewed technologies. 

Carl fosters rapid product development and deployment, building teams and delivering the products required to industry and defense in months, not years. This experience includes taking over failing national security technology scopes in to deliver the requirement.

Carl has an extensive background assisting tech-business transformation and significant success in telecommunications technology which includes the first wireless internet network through to managing ground to space laser communications. Carl has a depth of experience of taking startups out of incubation and taking them Through to IPO. Carl has held several C-level roles in Private and Public companies. 

Paul is a highly focused, experienced manufacturing professional that has worked on several innovations where size weight and cost needed to be reimagined to achieve commercial success. 

In a prior role Paul served as the VP Operations at Radio physics Solutions. Prior to that he served as a Production Manager assisting TomTom SATNAV to redesign and deliver significant cost savings by moving to LCD and single board processing and GPS capabilities.

In his most recent role, Paul worked for Plymouth Rock Technologies, managing the company’s UK Aerospace facility, where he championed a continuous improvement program performing development and commercialization of our UAS technologies and ensured ISO 9001 compliance and JARUS standards were implemented on UAS builds.

Steven is an engineer with a strong Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering mindset, with a specific skillset encompassing design and integration, manufacturing, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). 

Steven has worked on some of the most challenging Uncrewed System projects globally for a variety of applications and end users, managing teams both in the facility and in the field to deliver cutting-edge solutions and smooth implementation.

Working in lockstep with both commercial and manufacturing teams, Steven champions pioneering design, comprehensive testing, and adaptable solutions while ensuring a no-compromise approach to quality and performance.

Professor Harmer read Physics with Astrophysics at Sussex University, graduating in 1996, where he subsequently was awarded his DPhil in 2000.  After working as a Research Fellow at Sussex University, from 2000-2005, Professor Harmer moved to Queen Mary University of London and undertook research funded by the EPSRC’s Gun Crime Initiative: “Taking the Heat of the Streets.” Stuart then spent two years in industry, working in the Future Systems group for SELEX ES, where he led on identifying relevant research and spinouts, visiting research groups in Europe, the US and Australia.

Since this time Professor Harmer has published some sixty journal and conference proceedings; co-authored a book and was elected Fellow of the Institute of Physics in 2013. Stuart is currently the Dean of Technology, Business and Arts at the University of Suffolk, and the technology lead for the Digitech Centre at BT’s (British Telecom’s) Adastral Park.

Maxine has over 25 years Global experience within the Marketing and Event industry, working both Client and Agency side, running marketing campaigns, as well as managing events and exhibitions globally.

Specializing in Technology, Security, Retail & Leisure, Industries, Maxine has a diverse client portfolio including Nano Dimensions, Apple, Verizon, HP, Honeywell, Panasonic, and Cisco.

With a diverse background across multiple industries and technologies, Daniel has extensive international experience in novel detection technologies and uncrewed systems.

Daniel’s primary role for the past few years has been as a Project Manager for an Uncrewed Aviation company. As part of this, Daniel was responsible for managing opportunities from initial customer contact through to product delivery, liaising with the various stakeholders both internally and externally to ensure a suitable solution was provided to meet client requirements.

Prior to this, Daniel worked as an international project manager for Patriot One Technologies (now Xtract Technologies), assisting scientific and engineering teams on the development of threat detection technologies for national security.

As well as his primary role, Daniel also performs secondary functions, from financial control through to producing bids and proposal writing for projects, and tenders and acquisitions scopes. Daniel is also a commercially qualified UAS pilot.
