Company

Radars for our resilience and security.

Gallium was founded to give European infrastructure operators and armed forces the affordable radar coverage they need. We design, build and field test our systems in Europe.

Mission

Solve drone detection at scale.

Our ability to protect our infrastructure and our forces should not depend on scarce or externally controlled sensors. We deliver from Europe, for NATO, dual-use systems that can be fielded in numbers.

How we work

01

Iterative by design

We build, test and improve in bi-weekly iterations, so each version of the system is better than the last.

02

Validated in the field

We test in the field following a monthly cadence, alongside the operators who will use the system.

03

Sovereign at conception

Dual-use technology, governed by European and national export-control frameworks.
