Software platform
Conduit
The software platform Sailient is developing for connected intelligent systems.
Platform
One software layer. Many systems.
The software layer Sailient is developing to connect sensors, compute, networks and the people who decide — one picture, under the operator's control.
- Sensors
Feeds from sensors on land, at sea, in the air, in orbit and below ground.
- Edge
Processing on site, before anything has to travel.
- Networks
Links of varying quality, managed as one.
- Operators
The people who decide — with one picture to decide from.
- Data
Kept where the operator chooses, under the operator's control.
- AI
Fusion and prioritisation inside the system — never a decision on its own.

Capabilities & modules
What Conduit is designed to do.
Every module is a concept. Nothing here is in service yet, and no specification is published until it is verified.
SDK
Building on Conduit with documented interfaces.
Modules Conduit SDK Concept
Integration
Designed to join what already exists.
- Existing systems
Sensors and systems already in service, brought in through documented interfaces.
- Third-party systems
Equipment from other manufacturers — integrated, not replaced.
- Sailient systems
Sailient's own concepts, designed to work with Conduit from the start.
Deployment
Designed to run where the operator decides.
A design goal of the concept, not a certified offering.
- Private cloud
In the operator's own cloud environment.
- On-premise
On the operator's own hardware and premises.
- Edge
On compute in the field, next to the sensors.
- Disconnected
Fully offline, with no dependency on an outside network.
How it is built
Three rules that do not change.
- Under the operator's control
Designed to run in the operator's own environment — on site, in a private cloud or fully disconnected.
- A person decides
Anything that changes the world outside the system is a request that a named person approves.
- Open to what exists
Integrates existing and third-party sensors and systems instead of requiring them to be replaced.
Research
The questions behind Conduit.
Across the environments
The same layer, wherever the system runs.
- + Land
Intelligent systems for terrestrial environments — sensing, mobility and connected field systems.
- + Sea
Intelligent systems for maritime and coastal environments — persistent sensing and connected systems across complex environments.
- + Air
Intelligent systems for aerial environments — observation, navigation and connected systems from above.
- + Space
A research direction for software, sensing, communications and systems extending into orbit.
- + Subterranean
Intelligent systems beneath the surface — sensing, connectivity and edge systems where signals and daylight do not reach.
