About ADGM
Operators, engineers, and system builders.
ADGM combines defence programme experience with systems architecture, mechanical engineering, embedded electronics, simulation, ML research, testing, and industrial-transition planning.
Our purpose
Preserve useful platforms. Modernize the effect.
ADGM was formed around a simple thesis: modern counter-UAS capability does not always require replacing an entire installed weapon ecosystem. A carefully engineered smart-ammunition architecture can create a path to greater utility while preserving operator familiarity, logistics, and existing infrastructure.
The programme is intentionally structured as a reusable technology base rather than a one-tender, one-calibre design. Its long-term value lies in a common sensing-and-control core that can be adapted responsibly across adjacent host platforms.

KP
Kulbir Patial
Founder, Systems Engineering
Brings defence systems, radar, launcher integration, embedded reliability, programme execution, and operational validation experience.
SS
Sanika Sawant
Product & Programme Partnerships
Supports product coordination, programme management, partner engagement, documentation, and cross-team execution.
Technical coverage
Distributed expertise, unified by systems engineering.
Mechanical & structural
CAD, internal packaging, host compatibility, launch-survivability analysis, and prototype-oriented design.
Electronics & embedded
Sensor front-end integration, PCB and power systems, sequencing logic, EMI/EMC readiness, and hardware validation.
ML & signal processing
Radar-signal modelling, classification research, simulation-to-real workflows, inference optimization, and test data pipelines.
Safety, QA & transition
Verification infrastructure, logging, failure analysis, regulatory documentation, materials compatibility, and industrialization planning.
Operating principles
Credibility is built through evidence.
Inert before energetic
Validate architecture, survivability, sensing, electronics, and safety logic before controlled higher-risk integration.
Simulation before fabrication
Use digital engineering to reduce avoidable physical iterations and make design decisions traceable.
Interfaces before scale
Freeze system boundaries, verification criteria, and partner responsibilities before industrial transfer.
Responsible public disclosure
Publish enough to establish legitimacy while protecting defence-sensitive design information and intellectual property.
