Terra Industries aims to create a sovereign African defense system to protect critical infrastructure from armed attacks from land, sea and air. For aerial defence the company produces long- and short-range unmanned aerial vehicles. On the ground, it uses observation towers and small ground drones. The company continues to develop maritime technologies to protect infrastructure such as offshore drilling platforms and subsea pipelines. Terra uses its proprietary ArtemisOS software, which collects, analyzes and synthesizes data in real time. Upon detection of threats, the system alerts response forces so they can intercept them. The company holds government and commercial contracts and protects hydroelectric plants and mines.
