Zelim, which is exhibiting its defence portfolio at DSEI in London, has launched a new dedicated business unit to meet rapidly growing demand from the global defence sector for its advanced AI-powered safety, surveillance and asset recovery technologies.
The move follows a year of heightened industry engagement, culminating in a technology demonstration onboard a 122m-long Frigate at NATO’s largest Naval exercise, REPMUS. This followed a demonstration to the US Navy in Newport in August, and a recent showcase to a UK defence prime for their counter-USV programme. The company has also showcased its technology to other NATO Navies and defence primes through the first phase of NATO’s DIANA innovation framework.
“Over the past 12 months, interest in our technology from defence stakeholders has grown dramatically,” said Sam Mayall, CEO of Zelim. “We’ve had direct approaches from Navies, invitations to participate in high-profile trials, and requests from prime contractors to collaborate. The defence business unit is our way of scaling up to meet demand from Navies around the world.”
Driving demand is Zelim’s flagship product, ZOE, which was originally developed for man-overboard (MOB) detection, and delivers continuous, AI-powered surveillance of a vessel’s surrounding maritime environment. The ZOE product suite is now being expanded to include ZOE Shield, which provides 360-degree perimeter surveillance for detecting unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and other threats to military assets, including passive detection in radar-denied environments, and ZOE Lookout, which enhances maritime situational awareness by detecting hazards.
Zelim’s new defence division will also oversee the adaptation of its Swift recovery platform and Guardian unmanned vessel for military use, expanding its offering from detection to recovery. Swift can retrieve people or mission-critical equipment in challenging conditions, while Guardian enables autonomous recovery operations beyond line-of-sight.
