TRL-4 / EDF-2026 Ready

HEPHAESTUS AI

A self-powered Edge AI node for infantry weapons. We harvest waste thermal energy to eliminate batteries, while tracking ammo depletion via recoil analysis.

Looking For:

C4I Integrators & Partners

Zero Battery Burden

Reduces the modern soldier's battery load by passively generating 450mW of continuous power from the weapon's barrel heat.

Autonomous Logistics

TinyML analyzes recoil to track exact ammo depletion. It predicts "Time-to-Empty" to trigger automated UGV/UAV resupply missions.

Tactical Stealth (LPD)

No continuous transmission. Processes data 100% locally and utilizes highly compressed LPI/LPD micro-bursts to evade Electronic Warfare.

Barrel Heat

150°C - 300°C

Harvests extreme thermal waste generated during live-fire engagements, utilizing energy that is normally lost.

Energy Harvester

Bismuth Telluride

Solid-state modules that convert the temperature difference directly into electrical voltage (Seebeck Effect). No moving parts, zero maintenance.

Power Mgmt

Supercap Buffer

Ultra-low voltage step-up converter. Buffers energy into a 5.0F supercapacitor to keep the system alive for days after firing stops.

STANAG 4740

Powered Rail

Passes the generated 450mW continuous power to the weapon rail. Can passively trickle-charge the soldier's optronics or radios.

Encrypted BLE LPD

C4I Partner Platform

Integrates into Integrator Dashboards (e.g. TacNet, Dominator) to trigger automated UGV supply.

This is where YOU come in.

We provide the smart node; we need partners to integrate this telemetry into Battalion-level UI and tactical networks.

Kinetic Shock

80G+ Recoil

The brutal mechanical shockwave generated by firing a 5.56mm or 7.62mm round.

High-G IMU

ADXL375 Sensor

A specialized accelerometer that captures the exact physical signature of the weapon's bolt cycling.

Edge AI (MCU)

TinyML GRU Model

The "Brain". Runs Neural Networks locally to distinguish real gunfire from running/dropping the weapon (99.9% accuracy). Also predicts maintenance needs.

GOSSRA Stream

NATO JSON Packet

Data is formatted to the General Open Soldier System Reference Architecture, making it instantly readable by NATO allied software.

Targeting EDF 2026/2027

F.NOUS Technology is a Greek deep-tech SME. We are actively seeking Defense Primes and System Integrators to form powerful consortiums for upcoming European Defence Fund calls regarding:

  • Smart Soldier & Wearables (Energy autonomy)
  • Predictive Maintenance (Weapon HUMS)
  • Autonomous Logistics (UGV/UAV integration)
