Urban Hawk Ltd, headquartered in Bristol, UK, is an R&D-driven company advancing spatial computing up to TRL 6. Grant-supported and research-focused, we develop prototype digital twins, simulations, and predictive models that enhance security, safety, automation, robotics, risk assessment, insurance, and operational management.

Using the Polaron World Engine, we transform aerial and ground scans into interactive datasets for simulation and analysis. This enables early-stage scenario modeling, cause-effect predictions, and risk mitigation—supporting prototypes such as factory robotics integration, safety protocols in high-risk environments, and automation workflows that cut downtime and waste.

Our staged approach emphasizes low-risk prototyping and grant-funded pathways with industry and academic partners, ensuring cutting-edge research without commercial pressures. Past successes include the Sea Traffic Management Validation Project and Horizon 2020’s 5G-VICTORI, with ongoing UKRI-funded National Resilience projects. Applications span wargaming for security, predictive analytics for insurance, and resilient operational models.

Backed by the UK Space Agency and UKRI, and led by CEO Robert Sugar and CTO John Tapsfield, Urban Hawk serves as the foundational research arm for commercial spin-offs, extending spatial tech into urban-industrial use cases.

Partner with us to co-develop next-generation situational awareness and prototype the future today.
