OBSIDIAN™ Counter Drone Radar
Obsidian utilises a purpose-designed 3D staring radar, proving highly accurate 3D position information, a high update rate (0.5s) and low minimum target speed (0.5m/s).
Obsidian can simultaneously detect and track multiple aerial threats and has also been configured to provide an on-the-move capability for vehicle convoys.
POINTER Close Combat Trainer
POINTER-T is a tactical training system to develop defensive gunnery skills against close-in FIAC attacks and swarm threats
Used by the British Royal Navy to investigate improved command and control in response to close range single and swarm attacks upon Naval Vessels.
BRACER™ Tactical SATCOM
BRACER™ sets the standard in secure satellite communications and is engineered to operate in the planet’s harshest environments.
With 100% global communications coverage, it is the most robust, secure and reliable commercial TacSat on the market which is still exportable.
TALON® EOD Robot
A medium multi-mission robot first introduced in 2000, QinetiQ's TALON® family of robots have earned a reputation for durability and reliability.
TALON® is a globally trusted system for keeping personnel, assets and civilians out of harm’s way and is globally deployed today.
SPUR® Packable Robot
SPUR® revolutionises robotic capability for dismounted forces and is the newest member of QinetiQ’s inter-operative tactical land robot family.
A man-portable ISR and EOD robot which was named the winner of the US Army’s Common Robotic System – Individual (CRS(I)) programme.
SPUR® Mini

SPUR Mini is used for reconnaissance and security operations to assist military, first responders and law enforcement personnel.
Q-Net® RPG Protection
Q-Net® is highly specialized netting system capable of providing protection against rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) on a wide range of tactical and lightly armored vehicles.
Q-Net is a world leading product and is 50-60% lighter than typical bar armour systems.
EARS® Gunshot Detection
The EARS® family of gunshot detection systems provides users with the instant situational awareness necessary to accurately detect, fix and locate hostile gunfire across multiple firing points.
EARS® can be shoulder worn, fixed on site or mounted on a variety of vehicles.
LAST® ARMOUR
LAST (Light-appliqué Armor Systems Technology) Armor has been used on thousands of combat air and land vehicles since first being used in Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
LAST Armour provides high performance add-on protection against a range of ballistic attacks.
Q-40 GNSS Receiver
Q-40 provides resilient, high-assurance Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) for mission-critical applications even in contested and degraded signal environments.
Used in agile tactical weapons, course corrected munitions, and test and evaluation activities.
Precision Air Drop System (PADS)
For guided airdrop systems, the real-time data provided by the PADS ASonde allows mission planners to increase standoff distance and deliver cargo and personnel from higher altitudes.
PADS was developed jointly with the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army to meet operational needs.
Frag Bag Bomb Containment
The Frag Bag Bomb Containment System is a portable blast and ballistics enclosure designed to contain fragments and mitigate the blast pressure from a typical pipe bomb.
Frag Bag was famously used to counter suspicious packages sent to CNN in the US in October 2018.
Houbara have partnered with MetOcean™ Telematics to provide the UAE with access to their leading range of satellite based products and services for defence applications.
iSLDMB - Search & Rescue Buoy
The Iridium Self Locating Datum Marker Buoy (iSLDMB) is a ruggedised drifting sensor which supports Maritime Search & Rescue Operations.
The iSLDMB is air droppable and relays GPS information, current drift and surface temperature for up to 15 days to inform and narrow down possible search corridors.
MASS - Naval Gunfire Range
Maritime Acoustic Scoring & Simualtion (MASS). A waterborne, virtual targeting, live-fire, portable range system for naval gunfire training.
MASS eliminates the need for fixed ranges and provides an self sufficient, in-situ gunnery training capability with minimal support and maintenance requirements.
NiKA Autonomous Maritime Surveillance
NiKA is a state-of-the-art autonomous maritime surveillance platform that combines advanced technology with exceptional performance.
The device is capable of operating at depths of up to 1000 meters, making it a versatile and flexible complement to traditional sonobuoys, fixed and towed arrays.
