Wallgrav · Near-zone sensing · NATO DIANA 2027 proposal

The last 150 metres.

Wallgrav is a portable near-zone sensor system that detects movement and approaching personnel in the final approximately 150 metres around a position — in situations where reconnaissance by personnel or drones is not feasible.

The gap

Where reconnaissance is not feasible.

Around a protected position there is a final zone where sending personnel or drones to look is not an option — yet movement in exactly that zone is what decides the situation. Wallgrav exists for that zone: it detects movement and approaching personnel in the final approximately 150 metres, and puts what it sees directly into the operator's picture.

The system

Automotive-grade radar. Defence-grade picture.

Wallgrav is built on automotive-grade mmWave radar from an established automotive Tier 1 supplier, integrated by Diadrom, and presents the situational picture directly in a command and control (C2) system — via Cursor on Target (CoT) into ATAK. The system has been demonstrated and evaluated together with partners, and the concept is now being further developed for defence applications.

From the announcement · 3 July 2026

Two industries, converging.

“This is technology that has proven its robustness in the automotive industry, across millions of units and in every conceivable condition. The defence sector demands the same level of reliability, and the two industries are now converging in a natural way. I am glad that Diadrom is the company binding together two of our most important technology industries.”
Jonas Hellberg · CTO, Diadrom
“Both proposals build on what has carried Diadrom for more than 25 years: knowing what a system is actually running, and being able to trust it. Our motto is Nothing works until everything works. That holds for a truck fleet, and it holds for a defence platform. DIANA is the right arena for testing these capabilities against NATO's operational needs.”
Viktor Eliasson · CEO, Diadrom
NATO DIANA · 2027 Challenges

Proposed to NATO's innovation accelerator.

On 3 July 2026 Diadrom submitted Wallgrav to DIANA — the Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic — for the 2027 Challenge Multidomain Sensing and Advanced Data Processing for Intelligence and Surveillance. DIANA is NATO's accelerator for dual-use defence and security technology: selected companies join the 2027 cohort, take part in a six-month accelerator programme starting in January 2027, receive EUR 100,000 in funding, and gain access to DIANA's network of test centres and end users across the Alliance.

The selection process is competitive, outcomes will be communicated by DIANA later this year, and no commercial agreements have been concluded. A submission does not imply selection.
