Ceradon Systems
Sense. Map. Rehearse.
Six systems, one team.
Ceradon Systems builds sensing, mapping, and mission-rehearsal tools for defense and public-safety teams — passive through-wall detection, edge AI vision, drone-video floorplans, sUAS rehearsal at any coordinate on Earth, and UxS build planning — engineered on commodity hardware at a fraction of incumbent cost.

Product lines — sensing, vision, mapping, planning, rehearsal, contract intelligence.
SDVOSB
Service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Veteran-founded, Utah-based.
179U9
CAGE code · UEI UZA9PFJ9RDL6 · active in SAM.gov through Dec 5, 2026.
COTS
Commodity hardware, edge inference — systems teams can afford to field.
Portfolio
Six systems, one discipline:
make the unseen usable.
Every Ceradon system does one of five jobs — sense, map, build, rehearse, or find — and delivers its output at the edge, in formats operators already use.
VANTAGE
Detects human presence through walls from ambient RF. Zero emissions — nothing to detect, jam, or trace.
KESTREL
Rehearse sUAS missions over the real operating area — build the aircraft, build the mission, fly it day or night, and score the run.
RAPTOR
Real-time detection and classification for drones, UGVs, and fixed sites. Field-retrainable on low-cost edge compute, no cloud required.
LANTERN
Turns drone or walkthrough video into a georeferenced interior floorplan on ATAK. No survey, about two minutes on a laptop.
COTS ARCHITECT
Turns quantity-first lab inventory into validated UxS builds, RF evidence, and concise technical handoff packages.
SCOUT
Scans SAM.gov, Grants.gov and SBIR.gov daily and scores every opportunity against your NAICS codes and set-asides. Free tier to start.
Why Ceradon
Built by people who have carried the kit.
Veteran-founded and field-informed. Every system ships on commodity hardware, runs at the edge without a cloud connection, and speaks the formats operators already use — because the team has stood where the end user stands.
Flagship — VANTAGE
See through walls. Stay invisible.
VANTAGE reads the distortions human bodies leave in the ambient RF field to detect presence through solid walls without transmitting a thing.
ZERO
RF emissions. Invisible to electronic warfare systems and RF detection.
10×
Cost reduction vs active radar. COTS hardware at a fraction of $60K–$85K systems.
TRL 4
Lab validated. Active development toward operational deployment.
ATAK
Networked mesh nodes feed CoT data for distributed situational awareness.
Listen
Captures ambient RF signals already present in the environment. No transmitter needed.
Extract
Extracts amplitude and phase signatures from the ambient field on commodity hardware.
Classify
ML models process conditioned signals to detect presence, movement, and activity.
Report
Outputs presence alerts via JSON, CLI, or ATAK CoT feed in real time.
Mission sets
Drop a pin anywhere on Earth. Fly the mission before you fly it.
KESTREL loads that exact coordinate in photoreal terrain, flies an aircraft built from the parts your team actually stocks, and scores the run against the mission you built on that ground. Place objectives, OPFOR, and structures where they really are. Fly it in daylight, at dusk, or on the low-light camera after dark.
The clip is not a render. It is ninety seconds of a live session — free flight, the build garage, the mission builder, a night pass on the low-light sensor, and the scored run.

One drone goes in. Everybody gets the floorplan.
LANTERN turns drone or walkthrough video into a georeferenced interior floorplan for ATAK — no survey, no ground truth, about two minutes on a laptop. The assault force, the QRF, and the TOC all see the same interior before anyone else goes through the door.
The image is not a mockup: a palm-sized quadcopter flew one 60-second pass through a building, and LANTERN rebuilt the interior in three dimensions from nothing but its onboard video.
