Real Time Group was founded to address a growing need — a shortage of engineering capacity in deep technology. That is the gap we close.
We take projects end to end — from early architecture through production and long-term support — working alongside your team on systems that have to hold up in the field.
Satellites in orbit. AI systems that detect cancer in pets. RF solutions for advanced communications. Safety systems for lithium batteries. Real projects, with real impact.
Pick a sector to see the problem we are usually brought in to solve, and what we deliver against it.
Defense & Aerospace Technology Solutions
Mission-ready embedded, RF, edge, and secure software for demanding programs.
The challenge
Mission and airborne software is expected to show requirements traceability, review records, and test evidence. On most programs that documentation is reconstructed near the end of the schedule, exactly when changes cost the most.
What we deliver
We structure work packages so traceability, review notes, and test results are produced while the code is written. The certification path stays owned by your program, and the engineering evidence it depends on arrives with each delivery instead of after it.
Metering, monitoring and control for equipment spread across sites nobody visits often.
The challenge
Energy hardware is specified for a decade or more in the field. The cloud service, the mobile OS and the cellular generation it launched against will all change several times inside that window, and a device that cannot follow becomes an expensive site visit.
What we deliver
We design the update path before the product: authenticated OTA, staged rollout, and a protocol layer that can be extended without reflashing. The fleet moves forward without a truck roll.
Software for devices and diagnostics where the evidence trail matters as much as the result.
The challenge
Regulated submissions need requirements traceability, design history and test evidence. On most programmes that record is assembled after the software is written, from memory and commit messages, at the point in the schedule where there is least time.
What we deliver
We generate the evidence as the work happens: traceable requirements, reviewed changes, and pipeline output that is part of the record rather than a separate exercise.
Connected equipment, telemetry and automation for operations that cannot stop.
The challenge
Industrial estates are full of machines that work perfectly and speak nothing modern. Replacing them is not on the table, so the data stays trapped in the equipment that produces it.
What we deliver
Gateway and protocol translation work — Modbus, serial and vendor protocols brought into one model — so existing machines join the estate without being replaced.
Not concepts. Not demos. Real projects our teams are delivering right now — with measurable results and real customers.

R&D platform: multi-sensor counter-UAS detection from a vehicle in motion.
An airborne threat against a vehicle that never stands still A moving security vehicle is a far harder problem than a fixed installation. Engine, wind and road noise…
AI video analytics that turn every valid detection into a managed security track.
A camera alarm is not enough Most perimeter installations tell an operator that motion occurred somewhere, at which point a person has to work out what it was…
Acoustic-first drone detection for a protection vehicle that never stops moving.
Protection that moves with the principal Fixed-site counter-drone installations protect a location. A protection detail protects a person, and that person is usually in a vehicle. This system…
Computer vision that detects pistols, rifles and knives in an image, a video or a live stream, for sites where a guard cannot watch every feed at once.

We came in with a prototype that worked on one bench and nowhere else. Their team rebuilt the firmware layer, took over certification testing, and got us to a device we could actually ship. What stood out was that the engineers pushed back on decisions instead of just executing tickets.

Four months from kickoff to a fleet of gateways reporting into our cloud. The OTA pipeline they built has been running without us touching it since.
MMichael ChenCTO · Contoso Energy
They took over a codebase two vendors had already abandoned. Six weeks in they had the RF chain stable, and they were honest about what was salvageable and what had to be rewritten. That honesty saved us a quarter.

We needed embedded people who could also speak cloud. Getting both from one team meant nobody could point fingers across the boundary when something broke.
