Technology
The PAI Box: an API-grade edge-AI appliance on NVIDIA embedded GPUs. One silicon-agnostic software stack, hardened for off-grid, contested, denied-comms environments.

What we build
One sovereign AI brick. Three mission domains.
The same edge-AI core powers counter-UAS, maritime detection and infrastructure protection — so primes get one sovereign AI partner instead of a patchwork of point solutions.
Defence
Mission-grade detection at the tactical edge, co-engineered with European primes and validated on real threat profiles.
Defence capabilitiesCritical infrastructure
Live, on-site intrusion and anomaly detection for ports, grids, transport hubs and road networks.
Infrastructure protectionBuilt from the silicon up
We start with the sensor, not the model.
The optical chain, pixel readout and on-chip pre-processing come first. In low light, motion blur, smoke and adversarial spoofing, sensor-level mastery is the difference between a detection and a miss.
Sovereign in hardware
On-device inference on NVIDIA embedded GPUs today — silicon-agnostic by design, ready for whatever embedded compute the mission requires. No foreign kill-switch surface in the inference chain.
Sovereign in data
No cloud round-trip, no telemetry. Data never leaves the platform it runs on.
Real-time at the edge
Low-latency, low-consumption inference that holds in off-grid, denied-RF and contested environments.
Hover to enlargeHow the PAI Box works
Sense. Fuse. Decide.
From raw photons to a mission-grade decision — entirely on-device, with no cloud dependency.
Sense
Sensor-level mastery from pixel to readout. The optical chain is engineered, not assumed.
Fuse
Multi-sensor fusion across visual, RF, radar / AIS and sonar / optical streams.
Decide
Real-time, low-latency, low-consumption inference on-device — off the grid.
Mission domains
Where the brick goes to work.
Defence
Detection that holds up where it matters.
Co-engineered with European primes and validated against the threat profiles defence customers actually face.
- Counter-UAS — multi-sensor visual + RF detection, classification and tracking at the edge, including low-cost drone swarms. Stand-alone, on-the-field alerting.
- Vessel & maritime — small surface craft from 2 m detected and classified at up to 20 km. Coastal surveillance, harbour security, EEZ monitoring.
- Custom object detection — bespoke AI models built for your mission-specific targets, continuously refined through iterative training as threats evolve.
The prime owns the platform. PHOENIX AI owns the AI inside it — prime-ready, OEM-grade, integrating directly into existing platforms and command systems.
Critical infrastructure
Protect the assets a nation can't afford to lose.
Real operational deployments in dual-use environments that mirror defence use-cases — perimeters, energy nodes, transport hubs.
- Ports & maritime — intrusion detection and AIS-deactivated vessel detection at a major EU seaport, with 5G and radar / AIS edge data fusion.
- Energy & grid — protection of critical electricity transmission infrastructure and national grid assets for European transmission operators.
- Transport & roads — passenger-flow and security analytics for metro transport; national highway monitoring with real-time wrong-way-driver alerts.
Bandwidth back to a control room is limited or contested. On-device inference is the only architecture that holds at scale.

Sovereign by design
No cloud round-trip. No foreign kill-switch.
Sovereignty isn't a feature bolted on at the end — it's the architecture. On-device, off-grid, end to end.
Sovereign in hardware
Runs on European-controlled embedded compute with no foreign dependency in the inference chain.
Sovereign in data
No telemetry, no cloud. Data never leaves the platform — by design, not by policy.
Real-time at the edge
Low-latency, low-power inference that performs in denied-comms and contested conditions.
Our DNA · sensor-level computer vision
Sensor-to-silicon mastery is the hardest moat to copy — and the foundation of detection that works when conditions are against you.
Founded by the team behind I-Movix, makers of the world's most decorated ultra-slow-motion broadcast cameras, deployed at the world's biggest live events. Its founder and CEO served in the Belgian Gendarmerie (Military Federal Police), including ten years of Royal Escort duty with the Belgian Cavalry, before two decades in deep-tech R&D. PHOENIX AI is a European sovereign edge-AI company headquartered in Belgium, operating across the EU and NATO, building the intelligence layer end to end.
