Defence engineering across the full lifecycle.

ICHOR operates from applied research through to fielded, assured systems. Our capabilities are organised into six connected domains — described here at a deliberately high level.

01

Advanced defence systems

Integrated systems engineering for mission-critical defence applications. We architect, develop, and deliver complete systems designed to perform reliably in contested, high-stakes environments.

  • Systems architecture
  • Requirements & safety
  • Mission engineering
02

Sensors & electronic systems

Design of sensing, signal-processing, and electronic subsystems that detect, measure, and make sense of the operational environment with precision and resilience.

  • Sensor design
  • Signal processing
  • Embedded electronics
03

Autonomous & unmanned platforms

Guidance, navigation, and control for autonomous and unmanned platforms. We build the autonomy stack that lets systems operate dependably with minimal human intervention.

  • Guidance & control
  • Navigation
  • Autonomy software
04

Systems integration

Bringing complex subsystems together into reliable, maintainable platforms. We manage the interfaces, the trade-offs, and the engineering rigour that integration demands.

  • Interface engineering
  • Hardware/software co-design
  • Reliability
05

Research & prototyping

Applied research and rapid prototyping that turn emerging technology into demonstrable capability. We de-risk the unknown before it becomes a program.

  • Applied research
  • Rapid prototyping
  • Technology demonstration
06

Test, evaluation & assurance

Independent verification and validation across the lifecycle. Nothing is considered ready until it is proven against the requirement, under realistic conditions.

  • Verification & validation
  • Environmental test
  • Quality assurance
