Products & Solutions

Chain Home
Distributed early-warning detection system using visual and thermal sensors for persistent airspace awareness. Uses inexpensive camera units to triangulate drone positions to sub-pixel precision, providing ground-based situational awareness across a coverage area.
Pathfinder
GNSS-independent visual navigation software for drone platforms operating in denied environments. Uses sideways-facing cameras and spatial geometry to maintain stable positioning without relying on GPS or IMU.
Intercept
Onboard autonomy software that closes the loop from detection to terminal guidance. A threat is detected and tracked, and the intercepting platform executes autonomous guidance to interception. Developed and field-tested against long-range attack drones including Shahed-type threats.

About

Fiducial is a Dutch deep-tech company founded in 2024 and based in Delft, spun out of TU Delft. It builds computer vision and autonomy software that gives drone platforms and ground-based detection systems the ability to see, navigate and act in denied or contested environments.

Timeline

2025-06
Began developing autonomous interception software for long-range attack drones, pivoting the company's focus to defence.
2025-04
Received investment from UNIIQ, TU Delft's startup accelerator.
2025
Completed field tests of the Intercept capability day and night, with the autonomous system reaching interception points faster than a human pilot, and conducted five operational trips to Ukraine working with frontline units.
2024
Founded in Delft, Netherlands as a TU Delft deep-tech spin-off initially focused on 3D positioning and inspection software.
