INITIALISING SECURE UPLINK
Pioneers in the defence and security industry
We combine equipment, research and bespoke engineering into a single accountable programme — from requirement definition through to in-theatre sustainment.
A line of unmanned towers watches the border all night. They catch a truck far out and a man crawling close in, and tell the command post in seconds. A person makes the call.
Headquartered in Abu Dhabi with a Dubai operations hub, we sit at the crossroads of allied defence markets across the Gulf, Europe, Türkiye and North America.
To enhance the capabilities of armed forces worldwide by delivering innovative, reliable and mission-critical technology — engineered in the UK, Europe and Türkiye, deployed from the United Arab Emirates.
From requirement to sustainment, HS Military carries single-point accountability — no finger-pointing across vendors, one team answerable for the outcome.
Made-up operations that show HSM's systems working together, phase by phase. Each is one example of the work, not the whole of it.
Night · desert border
A line of unmanned towers watches the border all night. They catch a truck far out and a man crawling close in, and tell the command post in seconds. A person makes the call.
A long border is watched every minute, without tying down a single soldier.
Our systems in it · now: Field Energy Systems
Night · land border
A suspect vehicle crosses at night. A drone spots it, a robot clears the road, Team Bravo guards the village — and the vehicle turns back. No shots fired.
Danger is seen from kilometres away, while everyone is still safe.

One example, not the whole picture. A made-up night on a desert border, played out as you scroll. Unmanned towers watch the line. When something moves, the command post knows in seconds, and a person decides what happens next.
Six solar-powered towers stand along the border trail, kilometres apart. Nobody sits in them and no fuel truck visits. Their cameras watch all night.
Why it mattersA long border is watched every minute, without tying down a single soldier.
Tower 3's long-range camera catches a vehicle 6 km away, raising dust on a track nobody should use at night. Software marks it and keeps it in the box.
Why it mattersThe earlier the warning, the more time there is to decide.
Closer in, a person is crawling up a gully, flat against the rock. A plain camera would miss him. The tower's thermal camera and radar work as one and find him 180 m away.
Why it mattersCrawling, hiding low or moving slowly no longer gets anyone through.
Within seconds, both alerts reach the command post: a short clip, the exact spot, and what the software thinks it is. Nobody has to radio anything in.
Why it mattersThe people in charge see what the tower sees, while it is happening.
An operator watches both feeds and makes the call. The vehicle is a known supply truck, so it is dismissed. The crawler is not: a patrol in armoured vehicles goes to meet him, with the tower watching every step.
Why it mattersThe machine makes sure nothing is missed. A person decides what happens next.
A border is one example. The same towers can watch any long perimeter: a pipeline, a camp, a coastline.

One example, not the whole picture. A made-up night mission to guard a border, played out as you scroll. Border control is only one kind of work HSM does. In each of the five phases a different HSM system does its job, and the map follows along.
Before anyone moves, a drone takes off from the base and watches the border from the air. Its live camera is in the corner of the map.
Why it mattersDanger is seen from kilometres away, while everyone is still safe.
The drone sees a vehicle crossing near the border. Its video goes to the command post, which checks it against every other sensor before anyone acts.
Why it mattersCommanders act on what is really there, not on a guess.
Software plans a safe route for the patrol. Then a robot vehicle drives it first and spots freshly dug ground that could hide a bomb.
Why it mattersIf the road is dangerous, a machine finds out, not a soldier.
Team Bravo drives the cleared road to guard the village. They ride in an armoured vehicle and wear body armour, with the drone still overhead.
Why it mattersEvery layer of protection is one more reason everyone comes home.
Seen from the air and watched every second, the vehicle turns back across the border. No shots are fired, and the area stays safe.
Why it mattersFive of our six systems on one network, and one partner answerable for all of it.
Border control is one example. The same six systems serve many other kinds of mission, alone or together.
