The decision and integration layer
HAMMER is the operator console. The architecture assigns fusion and classification to CORE, and data connections to NEXUS — with a focus on a clear basis for each decision.
Dual-use counter-UAS · Odense, Denmark
Clarity when seconds count.
VAERN develops counter-drone software for critical infrastructure, energy sites, ships and defence. We are bringing sensors, operators and partner equipment into one workflow — from the first observation to a decision you can explain.
Where it matters
Seven environments. One decision layer.
From energy sites and ships to bases and forces: see how a shared air picture and human decision-making fit each operating environment.

Explore the scenarioThe architecture
VAERN software. Partner hardware. One workflow.
Sensors, communications and effectors
The architecture is designed around partner hardware and compatible existing equipment. VIGIL and SCOUT cover sensors and forward nodes; through STRIKER, partner effectors can capture, shoot down or jam hostile drones. Effectors are manufactured and supplied by authorised partners under their own authorisations and used only where the law allows — typically by armed forces and authorities with a legal mandate. VAERN does not manufacture effectors, and every engagement is released by a human.

About Odense RoboticsBuild with VAERN
Your expertise. A shared next step.
We build the software and integration layer. We are looking for the people and equipment that can bring it into a real operating environment.

01 / DETECT
One observation.
The assessment begins.
An unknown track approaches. The first observation starts the illustrated operator workflow.
VIGIL · Sensor observationFrom airspace to decision
One site. The whole chain.
VIGIL detects the track.
The sensor layer gives the operator the first indication.
NEXUS connects the sensors.
Observations from different angles travel through the same network.
CORE fuses the air picture.
HAMMER shows the track and the basis for its assessment.
The operator authorises the response.
The operator assesses the threat and authorises the response in HAMMER.
The response remains traceable.
A partner effector, operated by the force or authority with the legal mandate, activates after authorisation, and the event is logged. The entire sequence illustrates a design goal.
Built around your operation
Connect your expertise to the workflow.
The sequence illustrates the system architecture. Sensor interfaces, operator workflows and operating requirements form the basis for a partnership.

What can we see today?
A guided walkthrough of HAMMER Panorama on simulated data, with synthetic scenarios matched to your use case — from the first observation to the operator's decision and the decision record.
Can you work with our existing sensors?
The architecture is designed around partner sensors and compatible existing equipment. Available data, interfaces and operating requirements determine the scope of each integration.
Who are you looking to collaborate with?
Sensor and communications suppliers, C2 and integration specialists, authorised effector suppliers, operators and test environments in Denmark. We start with a concrete use case and a bounded next step.
Who do you collaborate with?
VAERN Systems and Heimdall Systems have begun a collaboration to explore how their solutions can complement each other.
Who makes the decision?
The operator. Human authorisation and a traceable decision record are central design principles, demonstrated with simulated commands in HAMMER. Any future effector integration depends on the relevant permissions and the partner’s authorisations.
What do the website images show?
The website combines AI-generated illustrations, authentic HAMMER screenshots and manufacturer product images. Read about images and product references in the FAQ.
