EPiTEK is the regional integration and technical support vehicle for the STM portfolio across East Africa: autonomous systems, mission software, naval engineering and command integration.
The value of a regional partnership is not access to a catalogue. It is the ability to escalate a configuration question to the manufacturer's engineering team, adapt a payload for local atmospheric conditions, and keep a trained instructor cadre in the region.
EPiTEK's role is to carry that technical relationship into East African programmes: requirement translation, demonstration planning, integration engineering, operator training and lifecycle support.
Statements of authorised representation, distributor status or territory are supported by written documentation. Procurement teams should request the current authorisation letter and confirm the exact legal entity, territory and product scope before contract award. This page is not itself a legal authorisation instrument.
Publicly available capability descriptions exclude controlled technical data. Offensive-capability content is reviewed against export-control and licensing rules before publication or release.
Grouped by operational domain. Data sheets state release conditions; detailed specifications are shared after eligibility screening.
| Domain | Systems & platforms | Primary operational applications |
|---|---|---|

| Aviation & mission software | FocusFlite · C4ISR | Digital moving map, situational awareness, mission route planning, cockpit situational feeds |
| Command, cyber & naval | Naval platform engineering · coastal surveillance | Coastal surveillance, corvette mission-system integration, sovereign decision-support, hardened infrastructure cyber protection |
| Integrated support | Regional maintenance depot · training academy | Depot MRO, spares, battery management, field engineering, operator and maintainer training |
Aviation software
A modular mission-software layer for rotary and fixed-wing platforms: digital moving map, route planning, cockpit situational awareness and recorded mission data. It lowers the capital cost of fleet modernisation by deferring airframe replacement.

Autonomous systems
Onboard computer vision and edge processing keep orientation, support target acquisition and return the platform to base when satellite navigation is jammed or degraded — relevant to border patrol and mountainous terrain.
Request the UAS capability briefManufacturer capability is the starting point. Local execution is what turns it into an operational outcome.
Planning, range coordination, safety case and observer documentation for in-country demonstrations, delivered with the manufacturer's technical team.
Configuration work for East African atmospheric profiles, altitude, dust and temperature, validated before handover rather than after.
Competency-based training for operators, maintainers and instructors, with records retained by the receiving authority.
This page intentionally omits performance figures, seeker specifications and employment detail. Those are released only to eligible recipients under the applicable export-control framework.
