Defence

OVERVIEW

Defence and national security organisations are modernising complex, long-lived systems under strict assurance, security, and operational constraints. OBSS designs, builds, and sustains mission-critical defence software with AI-native delivery embedded across the full lifecycle, within secure, restricted, and air-gapped environments where assurance and continuity are not optional.

With over 20 years of experience and 30+ defence programmes delivered, we operate across NATO-aligned, UK MoD, and EU defence contexts across land, air, and space domains, spanning command and control, avionics, surveillance, and electronic warfare. Our teams combine deep technical expertise with trusted engineering heritage, developing architectures and software that perform to the highest standards of safety, maintainability, availability, and reliability.

WHY OBSS FOR DEFENCE?

OBSS works with defence primes, national security organisations, and NATO-aligned programmes that cannot afford to compromise on assurance, pace, or control.

• Controlled, Predictable Execution: Accreditation and configuration discipline embedded at every stage, with AI improving speed and consistency across the full lifecycle.
Trusted by Leading Primes: Strategic partner, contributing to more than 20 major defence programmes.
• Strategic International Advantage: Dual operational presence in the UK and Türkiye enables compliant contracting and seamless cooperation with UK MoD, EU defence partners, NATO primes, and allied organisations.
• Proven Mission Readiness: Expertise spanning architecture, software engineering, validation, and field deployment ensuring readiness for complex operational scenarios.
• Global Compliance: Certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, EYDEP Level A, and NATO Facility Security Clearance (valid through 2030).
• Dual-Use Innovation: Applying defence-grade engineering to civilian domains from transportation to energy and healthcare enhancing national resilience through technology.
• Recognised R&D Excellence: Government-accredited R&D Centre advancing AI, machine learning, and simulation technologies, with results shared through open-source collaboration.

SELECTED PROJECT REFERENCES

C4I Joint Architecture

A modular, scalable command-and-control foundation enabling interoperability across land and air mission systems, the digital backbone of next-generation joint operations.

Land & Air Defence Command and Control Systems

Integrated mission-management and situational-awareness platforms connecting radar, sensor, and communication networks across land and air units.
Our solutions enable real-time operational coordination, decision support, and mission planning through a unified C4I backbone ensuring faster response, interoperability, and superior situational awareness in complex battle environments.

Electronic Warfare (EWC3S & Mobile EW Systems)

End-to-end software design and integration for electronic attack, defence, and coordination systems reinforcing spectrum dominance and operational continuity.

Counter-UAS & AI-Enabled Detection

Multi-sensor Counter-UAS platform integrating radar, EO, acoustic, and RF modules with central C2 control. Award-winning computer-vision AI distinguishes drones from birds in real time ranked #1 globally for three consecutive years in the Drone-vs-Bird Detection Challenge.

At OBSS, we bring together our expertise across command-and-control systems, electronic warfare, safety-critical software, AI-enabled ISR, and C-UAS solutions, delivering field-proven projects tailored to operational needs. Modular architectures, seamless system integration, high reliability, and real-time decision support form the foundation of our work.
We would be pleased to discuss your defence requirements and explore how we can support you.
