Consilium
One operational picture, from the systems you already have.
Consilium connects sensors, platforms, operational systems and data sources within a single modular environment, giving operators a coherent operational picture, alerting and workflow across connected systems.
What it does
System behaviour
Consilium connects sensors, platforms, operational systems and data sources within a single modular environment. It gives operators a coherent operational picture, supports alerting and workflow, and creates a practical integration layer between legacy systems, modern applications and connected operational assets. Designed for defence, national security, nuclear and critical national infrastructure.
Position in the ecosystem: Deploy Consilium as a standalone capability, or as the central command layer across the wider Espanaro solution set. Cognisight, Pulse Sentinel, ByteHarbour, Harbour Guard and WayForge all surface inside Consilium.
Three principles
The principles behind Consilium
Modular
Deploy only the capability required and expand over time, without disruptive replacement programmes.
Open
Integrate existing sensors, systems, data and workflows through open interfaces and adapters.
Sovereign
UK-developed software designed for controlled, regulated and operationally constrained environments.
The challenge
Operational teams often work across fragmented applications, disconnected sensors and legacy platforms. Information is duplicated, alerts are isolated and decision-makers lack a reliable common picture.
Replacing every existing system is rarely affordable or operationally realistic, so capability has to be introduced through integration and reuse.
Operational value
Consilium delivers:
- One operational picture
- Faster integration
- Open architecture
- Secure deployment
- Operator-led design
Consilium provides a modular integration layer that connects new capability to existing infrastructure, supporting incremental modernisation rather than disruptive replacement, as a standalone platform or the hub of a broader solution stack.
Architecture
How it works
Consilium works in four steps, from connect to act.
- 01ConnectSensors, systems and data sources
- 02UnifyOne coherent operational picture
- 03AlertRules, workflows and escalation
- 04ActDecisions and coordinated response
Core capabilities
Six modules that combine into one coherent operational environment
Operational Dashboard
Configurable views combining live status, sensor feeds, alerts, maps and workflows.
Device & Sensor Management
Connect, monitor and manage distributed sensors, platforms and edge devices.
Alerts & Workflows
Create rules, trigger events, assign actions and support operational escalation.
Analytics & AI Modules
Apply analytics, reasoning and machine-assisted processing to connected data.
Reporting
Generate operational reports, trends, evidence and post-event analysis.
Site & System Administration
Manage users, locations, devices, configuration and deployment settings.
Solution in action

Representative use cases
Where Consilium makes the difference
Secure Site Operations
Combine perimeter sensing, cameras, access data, alarms and response workflows.
Command & Control
Create a common operational picture across systems, units and distributed assets.
Nuclear & CNI
Integrate monitoring technologies within regulated, safety-conscious environments.
Multi-System Operations
Connect specialist platforms, applications and data services within one coherent environment.
Surveillance & Intelligence
Fuse video, sensor and intelligence data into actionable operational views.
Technology Demonstration
Rapidly integrate multiple suppliers and technologies for trials, pilots and evaluation.
Integration by design
Works with the systems you already run
Consilium is designed to sit within a wider operational ecosystem. It connects new capability to existing infrastructure, exposes data to authorised users and applications, and supports incremental modernisation rather than disruptive replacement programmes.
| Integration area | Supported approach |
|---|---|
| Sensor & device integration | SAPIENT, ONVIF, RTSP, MQTT, Modbus and vendor-specific adapters. |
| Data & application interfaces | APIs and structured data formats including JSON and XML. |
| Data distribution | DDS and other event-driven or message-based integration patterns. |
| Secure information sharing | Policy-driven access, Zero Trust principles and support for data-centric security. |
Deployment options
Deploy where the mission needs it
On-premises
In your network
For secure sites, controlled networks and locally hosted operations.
Cloud
Scalable hosting
For scalable deployments where approved cloud hosting is appropriate.
Hybrid
Best of both
For distributed operations spanning edge, site and central environments.
Built for controlled environments
Assurance considerations
Secure by design
Role and policy-driven access, Zero Trust principles and secure information sharing.
Data residency
Deployment aligns to your network boundaries, security model and operational governance.
