Five monitors.
One discipline.
No noise.

Vectis Intelligence publishes specialist open-source intelligence across five security technology verticals. Each monitor is a curated weekly digest — procurement signals, vendor analysis, regulatory developments, and threat intelligence — for professionals who cannot afford to miss what matters.

Our thesis
The security technology market moves faster than most professionals can read. Budget signals appear months before formal tenders. Vendor claims outpace independent verification. Regulatory shifts in Brussels create procurement waves in Warsaw and Helsinki before most industry publications notice. Vectis monitors the signal, so our readers act on it first.

Radiation Monitor

radiation-monitor.com
"Threat-oriented radiation intelligence — where IAEA signals meet procurement reality."

The radiation detection market is shaped by two forces that rarely appear in the same publication: nuclear security doctrine and detector procurement. Radiation Monitor bridges that gap. Each week we track IAEA technical cooperation signals, border protection tender activity, and vendor developments across portal monitors, handheld detectors, and spectroscopic identification systems — giving procurement officers and security professionals a single authoritative briefing on what is changing and why.

Radiation & nuclear security
What we cover
  • IAEA nuclear security programme signals and technical cooperation
  • Border protection and customs radiation portal tenders worldwide
  • Spectroscopic identification technology developments
  • National laboratory procurement and framework contracts
  • Regulatory updates across ANSI, IEC, and regional standards bodies
  • Vendor landscape analysis — independent, not sponsored

CBRNE Monitor

cbrne-monitor.com
"The European CBRNE monitor — independent, accessible, and faster than the paywalled alternatives."

Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threat intelligence is currently dominated by expensive subscription services and US-centric publications whose European regulatory coverage is secondary. CBRNE Monitor fills the gap — a rigorous, independent, European-headquartered briefing for first responders, defence procurement teams, and policy professionals who need the full picture without the institutional subscription.

CBRNE · Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive
What we cover
  • NATO and EU CBRN procurement frameworks and contract awards
  • First responder and HAZMAT equipment tenders across Europe
  • Chemical detection and biological identification technology
  • EU CBRN Action Plan implementation and national transposition
  • Explosive ordnance and IED threat intelligence signals
  • Decontamination system procurement and standards updates

C-UAS Monitor

cuas-monitor.com
"OSINT-led counter-drone intelligence — we verify vendor claims against real-world performance."

The counter-UAS market is the fastest-moving and most over-claimed segment in security technology today. Ukraine has produced more real-world performance data in three years than the previous decade of range testing — and most publications are not processing it rigorously. C-UAS Monitor applies OSINT methodology to separate what systems actually do from what their manufacturers claim. For procurement teams evaluating a crowded market of detection, jamming, kinetic, and directed-energy solutions, independent signal analysis is not optional.

C-UAS · Counter-unmanned aerial systems
What we cover
  • National and NATO C-UAS framework tenders and contract awards
  • Detection technology — radar, RF, acoustic, optical — performance signals
  • Defeat systems — jamming, kinetic, directed energy — real-world data
  • Airspace deconfliction and C2 integration standards
  • Regulatory developments across EU, UK, US, and Gulf markets
  • Critical infrastructure protection procurement signals

PIDS Monitor

pids-monitor.com
"EU CER Directive procurement intelligence — the PIDS monitor for European critical infrastructure."

The EU's Critical Entities Resilience Directive has created the largest wave of perimeter security procurement in European history. Fourteen member states are now transposing requirements across energy, water, transport, and digital infrastructure — generating a multi-billion-euro market that most global security media are only beginning to map. PIDS Monitor tracks this wave: tender signals, technology requirements, standards evolution, and the vendor landscape for fiber-optic sensing, radar, thermal imaging, and AI-driven intrusion detection.

PIDS · Perimeter intrusion detection systems
What we cover
  • EU CER Directive transposition — national procurement implications
  • Critical infrastructure perimeter tender activity across Europe
  • Fiber-optic sensing, buried cable, and ground radar technology
  • AI-enhanced detection and false alarm reduction developments
  • Border protection infrastructure — Eastern European and Gulf programmes
  • Airport, port, and energy facility security procurement signals

Marine Monitor Launching 2026

marine-monitor.com
"Mission-critical intelligence for the persistent surveillance of global waters — from dark vessels to subsea cables."

The maritime domain awareness content landscape is dominated by commercial shipping interests — freight rates, port logistics, vessel schedules. That is not what defence procurement officers, coast guard agencies, and port security managers need. They need intelligence on coastal surveillance sensor networks, autonomous surface vessel procurement, submarine cable protection programmes, and AIS anomaly detection. Marine Monitor is the first dedicated OSINT briefing built for the security and defence-oriented MDA market — arriving as Baltic cable incidents have placed undersea infrastructure at the centre of European security planning.

Marine · Maritime domain awareness & coastal security
What we cover
  • Coastal surveillance radar and sensor network procurement
  • Submarine cable and undersea infrastructure protection signals
  • Autonomous surface vessel (USV) and UUV capability development
  • Port perimeter security and vessel traffic system tenders
  • AIS dark vessel tracking — technology and regulatory developments
  • NATO and EU maritime surveillance framework developments

The methodology

Step 01

Open-source signal collection

Each monitor runs an automated pipeline scanning procurement databases, regulatory publications, defence ministry releases, trade press, and official agency communications across relevant jurisdictions. We read what our readers do not have time to read.

Step 02

Editorial filtering and verification

Raw signals are assessed for relevance, credibility, and actionability. Vendor claims are tested against open-source performance evidence. Procurement signals are tiered — active RFP, budget signal, or early watch — so readers know exactly how to respond.

Step 03

Structured intelligence output

Each weekly brief delivers signals in a consistent format: vertical, geography, procurement stage, estimated value, deadline, source. Context is provided. Analysis is brief and pointed. Readers act — they do not decode what they are reading or why it matters.

Who reads Vectis monitors

Our readers are professionals for whom missing a procurement signal, a regulatory shift, or a vendor development has a direct operational cost.

Independent intelligence, published from Switzerland

Vectis Intelligence is an independent OSINT publisher. We have no commercial relationships with the vendors we cover, accept no advertising from security technology companies, and are not affiliated with any government agency or international organisation.

Switzerland is a deliberate choice of base, not a neutral one. Swiss neutrality means our analysis carries no national intelligence agenda. Our proximity to international organisations in Geneva and Bern means we understand the institutional context our readers operate in. Our background in Swiss export control and cross-border security operations means we understand the operational reality behind the procurement signals we track.

Our editorial position
We do not write about security technology. We write about the market for security technology — who is buying, what they are specifying, and what the evidence says about what works. That distinction matters.
