Listen at the edge.
Use fixed nodes and compatible field devices to capture acoustic observations where they happen. Inspect the source, not just a status light.
INTRODUCING HEIMDALL NORTHLIGHT
A clearer picture.
Where it
matters.
From a sensor in the field to a shared operational picture. Northlight brings acoustic intelligence, people, and places into one connected suite.

FIELD NOTES / 2026
We attended the 2026 IDEaS CUAS Sandbox at CFB Suffield, Alberta.
See the participant listing ↗01 / THE NORTHLIGHT SUITE
Many perspectives.
One shared picture.
Move from the overall view to the detail that matters. Purpose-built workspaces connect command, field teams, and the signals behind every observation.
01
Command & sectors
Organize nodes by region. Review activity, manage field access, and keep local and overall command connected.
↗ 02Forest command
Bring fire observations, firefighters, water sources, and safe-zone points into the same regional view.
↗ 03Search & rescue
Coordinate teams with named search cells, shared field observations, and a clear view of search progress.
↗ 04Mobile Scout
Connect an approved phone to a sector. Share position and send observations with photos or short video clips.
↗ 05Alexandria
Look closer at acoustic signatures with spectrum and 3D plots. Review captures and build the reference library.
↗Explore representative workflows in the demo. Trial capabilities and hardware compatibility are agreed for each deployment.
02 / TAKE THE CONTROLS
See what a
connected sector
can look like.
Select a node. Admit a Mobile Scout. Coordinate a search grid. Then look beneath the observation in Alexandria.

THE WHOLE PICTURE. WITH YOU IN CONTROL.
03 / FROM FIELD TO UNDERSTANDING
Start with your mission.
Build from there.
Give every report context.
Group devices by sector, admit field users, and bring reports and approved positions into a shared view.
Keep people in the loop.
Review observations, coordinate a response, and return to Alexandria to examine the signal. Operators stay in control.
04 / A FEW PRACTICAL DETAILS
Built around
your operation.
Start a conversation about your site, team, and hardware. We’ll work through the right scope for a trial.
What can I try in the public demo?
A fictional sector with interactive command, forest, search, mobile reporting, and acoustic analysis views. All positions and signals are examples. It does not access live operations or request your camera, microphone, or location.
Can Northlight work with our hardware?
Northlight connects fixed acoustic nodes and browser-based Mobile Scouts. External cameras and microphones depend on what the phone, adapter, and browser expose. We confirm your equipment and connectivity during trial planning.
What is available for forest and SAR teams?
The suite includes regional resource views, on-demand NASA FIRMS observations, a Rothermel surface-fire scenario tool, and coordinateable search grids. Fire-model validation and Garmin field integration are ongoing; trial scope reflects that readiness.
Does everything need to stay connected?
Operations start in local planning. Cloud sessions are explicit, time-limited, and stop when the browser is hidden. The website demo runs locally without cloud writes, background heartbeats, or an account.
YOUR TERRAIN. YOUR TEAM. YOUR NORTHLIGHT.
