European grids don't need smarter cameras; they need smarter assets. PyroSentry retrofits resilience onto existing brownfield infrastructure, physically delaying damage while instantly alerting operators.
In January 2026, an arson attack on a Berlin cable bridge destroyed bundled high-voltage and medium-voltage cables simultaneously. A single fire caused tens of thousands to lose power, heating, and communications.
The reality: European grids have technical redundancy, but lack physical spatial separation. Openly accessible brownfield infrastructure is deeply susceptible to physical sabotage.
Burying all cables or rebuilding European grids would cost trillions and take decades. We must protect existing "brownfield" assets.
Standard surveillance (Cluster 2) only records the destruction. By the time police arrive, the asset is already destroyed.
Building heavy concrete fortifications around every rural pylon and urban bridge is economically unviable.
A zip-on, smart-intumescent jacket that wraps existing infrastructure. It physically delays destruction while actively triggering targeted grid-defense responses.
Breathable intumescent composite interwoven with aramid fibers. Allows normal heat shedding, but upon exposure to >150°C (arson), instantly expands into a thermal aerogel shield, buying 60-120 minutes of physical survival time.
Embedded continuous conductive thread. If severed by a grinder or melted by fire, a €25 battery-powered LoRaWAN IoT puck instantly transmits a priority "SABOTAGE IN PROGRESS" alert with precise GPS coordinates.
Requires absolutely ZERO grid downtime. Technicians zip the jacket over existing exposed cables and use heavy-duty ties on rural pylons. Installation takes less than 3 minutes per meter.

Synthesize automated spoken emergency audio dispatches for DSO field response teams using Gemini's native text-to-speech engine.
Our solution was engineered from the ground up to perfectly address the criteria outlined in the Grid Resilience Innovation Challenge.
Constraint-driven creativity and frugal engineering. Instead of heavy civil engineering, we pair low-cost scalable Indian IoT manufacturing (€25 sensors) with advanced smart-materials.
Captures zero personal data (no cameras/microphones). Uses non-conductive exterior materials tested to DIN/EN flammability and electrical standards.
At ~€15 per meter of cable wrap, Aegis-Skin scales easily. It protects highly concentrated urban nodes (cable bridges) and remote, unpowered rural pylons equally well.
Wrapping the Berlin bridge (100m x 4 cables) costs ~€6,050. This prevents a catastrophic outage that costs millions in emergency repair and societal damage.
Physically impedes attackers and prevents immediate asset failure via thermal/mechanical armor.
Provides instant, highly-accurate tampering alerts without GDPR-violating surveillance.
Buys 60+ minutes for emergency response teams to reroute power before structural failure.
Coated on fiberglass/aramid mesh. Vented to prevent grid de-rating.
PTFE-coated conductive sacrificial wire woven into the mesh.
10-year coin-cell battery puck. Wakes only on circuit break to send LoRaWAN signal.
Direct API integration into existing DSO SCADA resilience systems.
