Our Mission
Critical services when and where needed globally for a safer world.
Our Technology
INSPIRED BY ROCKET SCIENCE
Drawing on experience in aerospace and defence, Ascent Systems Technologies created a unique autonomous platform that gives autonomy its true meaning. Our Autonomous Multipurpose Energy System (AMES) provides uninterrupted clean energy through integrated solar generation, battery storage, and intelligent control. Its modular design enables extended and mission-specific capabilities. Built on the AMES platform, the Autonomous Edge Monitoring and Security (AEMS) system is a terrestrial robot inspired by planetary landers - equipped with an array of sensors, cameras, and an onboard computer. It delivers persistent situational awareness and supports pan-domain defence applications, including forward aerial surveillance enabled by hosted UAVs with integrated charging, launch and retrieval capabilities. With built-in terrestrial and non-terrestrial (TN-NTN) communication, AEMS maintains uninterrupted connectivity in remote or communication-denied areas. Multiple modules deployed in the area form a resilient mesh network withstanding natural disruptions or adversarial interference. Designed as a self-contained module, AEMS can automatically deploy and retract itself, adapt to changing external conditions, and operate reliably in a fully autonomous mode - delivering life-saving services or protecting critical assets anywhere in the world, even in the most hostile environments.
