About Baird Technology
Engineering sovereign autonomous systems for modern conflict.
Who We Are
Baird Technology is an Australian defence capability company specialising in autonomous systems, ISR technologies, perception and sensing solutions, and robotics integration.
Baird Technology operates as part of the Sentricon group, focusing on the development and delivery of autonomous ISR and sensing subsystems.
The company designs, develops, and delivers sovereign autonomous capabilities informed by real-world operational requirements, supporting defence capability programs in Australia and allied partner nations.
Our engineering approach blends AI-driven perception, doctrine-based behaviour models, advanced sensor fusion and electro-mechanical integration to produce reliable, predictable and tactically aligned autonomous systems.
Baird Technology operates as the engineering and R&D pillar within the Sentricon ecosystem, transforming mission needs into deployable hardware and software solutions.
Our Mission
To engineer sovereign, adaptable autonomous systems that enhance resilience, precision, and effectiveness for defence and security users.
We focus on delivering technologies that are fast to integrate, resilient in degraded environments, and adaptable to the evolving demands of modern defence operations.
Our Engineering Approach
Baird Technology’s autonomy and robotics solutions are built on a foundation of applied systems engineering, AI-driven perception, and robust electro-mechanical design.
Our technology prioritises predictable, operator-trusted performance through structured autonomy behaviours, clear human-machine interfaces, and integration with established operational workflows.
We focus on simplicity for the user, resilience for the system, and reliability across diverse operating conditions.
Our engineering teams integrate actuation, navigation, sensing, and autonomy subsystems into modular platforms designed to operate reliably in complex and constrained environments.
Rapid prototyping cycles and iterative development ensure our systems remain practical, adaptable, and aligned with real operational needs.
