- Can you actually scale up a human pilot the way you scale up a factory? Ukraine's drone production has jumped 1,000x since 2022. But every operator still needs months of training, and their attention has a hard ceiling that no amount of funding can raise. We wrote about the gap nobody's talking about - between what production can scale and what a human brain can handle. Curious what others in #defence are seeing on this. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eRae-YKB #DeepTech #DefenceTech #HumanFactors #CognitiveLoad #Touchwaves #Haptics
- MSPO2026 wrap-up: How 4 days in Europe’s defence floor inspired us. We just got back from #MSPO in Kielce, one of Europe's largest #defence exhibitions, with 1,200+ exhibitors from 42 nations this year. Here are few themes that stood out to us over the four days: 📌 Autonomy and human-machine teaming — multiple companies showcasing systems where a single operator supervises several autonomous assets simultaneously, a clear signal of where the industry is heading. 📌 Drones and anti-drone systems — a dominant presence on the

- A proud moment for the team. Our co-founder Martin Romero was part of the Dutch delegation visiting #MSPO as part of the Trade Defense Mission to Poland. Being there matters. It's where the Dutch defence ecosystem shows up together, and where a company like ours gets the chance to be part of conversations that shape where this industry is heading. Grateful for the opportunity, and proud to help represent the Netherlands alongside such a strong delegation. Thank you Embassy of the Netherlands in Poland! #Touchwaves #DutchDefence
- Did you know that spatial disorientation causes 12% of U.S. Air Force Class A mishaps and it accounts for 24.9% of the lives lost? That gap is the story of modern defence human factors: the machines got faster, the sensory channels feeding the operator did not. Vision and hearing are still the primary interface between pilots and systems and they are also the first to saturate under stress. Inattentional deafness silences alarms that are technically still sounding. Those same mishaps were 2.84x more likely to be fatal than other

- Every warning system hides a process. Here's what's behind ours. There's a real difference between a system that just warns you something is wrong, and one that gives you the ability to actually do something about it in time. That gap between noticing and reacting, is what Touchwaves is built for. It starts with a sketch. One actuator housing, refined on screen until every curve has a reason to exist. Then it moves to the workbench, where that sketch becomes something you can solder, test, and take apart the moment it doesn't feel
