About Arkeus
Arkeus is a company based in Port Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It builds AI-powered sensing systems. The site says these systems act as the eyes and brain of autonomous platforms, so machines can see, understand and act in real time.
The core product is the ARK. The site describes it as an AI orchestration and data fusion engine. It takes in large amounts of information at the edge and sends intelligence products back to customers. The site says the ARK can be customised to the needs of each mission.
Arkeus systems work across air, land and maritime areas. The site lists wide-area search, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, known as SISR. Target users include defence, homeland security and civil defence customers. The systems are built to work in degraded or denied conditions with little human help.
The site lists a leadership team. Simon Olsen is chief executive officer, and the site says he has served on the board of the Association of Uncrewed Systems. Dr Jon Nebauer is chief technology officer. Romain Portier is chief operating officer and has worked at the defence company Thales.
Recent news on the site includes the Warden Hyperspectral Optical Radar entering Army service on 5 October 2026. A second item reports a UK partnership with Tanglewood Group, announced on 7 September 2026, for a new manufacturing, engineering and customer support facility. A third item says the company was appointed to an Australian Government border protection technologies panel on 1 July 2026.
The site lists a phone number in Australia and a contact form. It links to a LinkedIn page, news and careers pages. Its events list includes Land Forces 2026 in Perth and Eurosatory 2026 in Paris.
