Turning scattered technical alerts into one mission-impact picture.

Spectrum Sentry is a synthetic cyber–electromagnetic simulation and mission-impact demonstrator, built for research, training and capability-development environments -- not a fielded operational system.

Synthetic Cyber–EW Correlation

What Spectrum Sentry does

Spectrum Sentry models and correlates synthetic data involving positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) degradation, communications interference, network anomalies, and identity and access events, and translates those technical effects into operational or mission consequences. It's built for demonstration, training, research and capability-development purposes, using synthetic or authorised data only. It is not an operational offensive cyber platform, and it is not connected to any live network or system.

Example output Instead of reporting "packet loss on the command network" and "interference on a radio link" as two unrelated alerts, Spectrum Sentry identifies them as one coordinated campaign, and explains that it reduces command-network availability, delays targeting data, and increases the risk of mission failure.

  • Ingest simulated cyber, network, RF, and operational events
  • Correlate events on a single campaign timeline
  • Distinguish coordinated activity from coincidental noise
  • Translate technical effects into operational consequences
  • Test alternative response options against the same scenario
  • Generate a defensible, exportable mission-impact report

What this is not

Boundaries, stated plainly

  • Not an operational offensive cyber platform
  • Not connected to any live network or system
  • Uses synthetic or authorised data only -- no classified or sensitive government data
  • Not funded, endorsed, or operated by Defence or the ADF
  • No production/live deployment -- a research and demonstration build
