Ensuring the Resilience
of Critical Infrastructure
Our world depends on physical infrastructure—energy grids, transport links, water systems, and digital networks. These are not just utilities; they form the very foundations of society.
If they fail, everything else follows.
Advanced Threat Protection Technologies
Soteria Shielding Systems, in collaboration with world-leading Cranfield University, is currently developing advanced technologies to protect critical infrastructure against a rapidly evolving spectrum of threats—from violent physical attacks to extreme environmental conditions.
The resilience of these systems is key to national stability, economic continuity, and public safety. Strengthening critical infrastructure isn’t merely about materials—it is about securing the very systems that underpin modern life.
Soteria’s Director of Defence Systems, along with a member of our Advisory Committee from Cranfield University, will be participating in the upcoming NATO exercise NordicPine 25.
This strategic exercise will focus on addressing the growing spectrum of emerging hybrid threats to renewable energy systems—including cyber threats, malign influence, and the increasingly critical issue of the weaponisation of supply chains.
About Soteria
Soteria Shielding Systems was established by a multidisciplinary team: former military personnel who have witnessed the devastation in conflict zones, pioneering engineers, committed environmentalists, insightful business leaders, and esteemed academics researching blast effects on the built environment.
Together, the challenge is to defend critical physical infrastructure in an era when threats are escalating in both scale and sophistication. While policy and research since the early 2000s (and particularly post-2014) have largely focussed on cybersecurity, physical infrastructure remains significantly vulnerable.
Collaboration with Cranfield University brings together rigorous threat modelling, innovative materials research, and practical application to deliver real-world solutions. Composite materials are being developed that can withstand high-impact events—whether explosive, saboteur-induced, or stemming from severe climatic phenomena.
