Palm-held C-UAS. Sub-1 kg, >1 km, >2 hrs. Issuable to every Soldier in the squad. No specialist required.
INVESTOR OVERVIEW
FROM SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP TO FIELDED SYSTEM
Australia's sovereign RF foundation.
MILLIBEAM designs the silicon, antennas and radio architecture behind sovereign defence, autonomous systems and next-generation connectivity. RAKURAI is preparing for field trials. The same technology foundation scales across defence, SATCOM, autonomous systems and physical AI.

WHY INVESTORS ARE ENGAGING NOW
Own the silicon. Control the system.
Most RF systems are integrated from commodity components designed elsewhere. MILLIBEAM designs the silicon, the antennas and the finished system end to end. We sell the chips: PAs, AiPs and transceivers. The platform architecture around them is open, so customers design our silicon into systems of their own on a proven base. The chips are the revenue. The open platform is the multiplier. Sovereign-by-design is now a procurement filter, and the 2026 IIP has opened a decade of buying.
02
Full-stack ownership
Chip, antenna and finished system from one company. The result: a tighter BOM, better margins, and an RF base partners can build on.
03
Sovereign procurement tailwind
Up to $7B AUD allocated under the 2026 IIP. Sovereign-by-design is now a procurement filter, not a preference.
04
Platform leverage
Two levels: chips and AiPs anyone can design in, and complete platforms (RAKURAI, FARBEAM, PHASEBEAM, FARBASE) usable directly as end products. Next on the roadmap: a programmable software environment, so partners build on the platform the way developers build on a dev board.
THE WEDGE PRODUCT · ELECTRONIC WARFARE
The squad-level C-UAS breakthrough.
Doctrine assigns counter-UAS responsibility to every Soldier and unit. Current handheld systems still force protection into one specialist role. RAKURAI is engineered to close that gap.
<1 kg · one-handed
>1 km effective range
>2 hours · continuous · all bands active
Preparing for field trials
01 · Capability gap
Every Soldier is responsible. One specialist still carries the hardware.
Current handheld C-UAS systems weigh 2 to 7 kg, run for less than one hour at full duty and often require two-handed operation. The result is one designated operator protecting the rest of the squad.
02 · The differentiator
The advantage is the combined envelope.
Sub-1 kg systems exist. Multi-band systems exist. Multi-hour systems exist. RAKURAI combines the full operating envelope in one handheld platform designed for routine issue.
03 · Engineering moat
Vertical integration creates the specification.
Antennas, GaN RF power amplifiers, power electronics, signal generation, thermal design and mechanics are engineered together against one mission envelope.

“The engineering advantage is not one component in isolation. It is the ability to design the chip, antenna, power system and fielded platform as one RF stack.”RAKURAI
