HORNETSTRIKE

The operational challenge

Investigations cannot wait for fragmented data.

Fragmented sources, delayed access and disconnected tools can slow an investigation. The requirement is a controlled workflow that keeps source context, access decisions and human review connected.

One environment

Collection, processing and investigation.

Authorised sources feed shared processing and investigation under one governed framework. Locally deployable, with the investigator in command.

  1. 01

    FalconOneCollection

    Lawful, authorised collection across telecommunications, radio-frequency, field and remote environments — where legal authority, network cooperation and technical access exist.

  2. 02

    ObalaProcessing

    Ingests data from FalconOne, agency systems, open sources, sensors and partner feeds. Validates, normalises and correlates it using GPU-accelerated analysis in a locally controlled environment.

  3. 03

    HornetStrikeInvestigation

    Connects processed information to cases, people, devices, vehicles, organisations, locations, transactions and events. The investigator decides.

FalconOne, agency systems, open sources, sensors and partner feeds connect to Obala for processing, then HornetStrike for investigation and human review. Process diagram.

Core definition

A controlled intelligence environment.

01

Broad-source ingestion

Integrate authorised open, internal, commercial and technical sources across databases, sensors and vendors.

02

Processing and correlation

Normalise and enrich data, then connect entities, events and locations within the case.

03

Human validation

Combine automated checks with analyst review to assess reliability and resolve potential false positives.

04

Investigator interface

Bring reviewed information, source context and case tools into the investigator’s workspace.

05

Flexible data residency

Choose South African cloud, agency on-premises or hybrid deployment according to classification and agency policy.

Workflow

Authorise to retain.

Methodology →

  1. 01

    Authorise

    Lawful authority, objective, scope and the intelligence requirement.

  2. 02

    Collect

    FalconOne, agency systems, OSINT, devices and partner feeds.

  3. 03

    Preserve

    Originals protected. Integrity, provenance and custody recorded.

  4. 04

    Process

    Obala digitises, normalises, deduplicates and prepares the set.

  5. 05

    Correlate

    People, devices, locations, vehicles, transactions and events.

  6. 06

    Validate

    Analysts assess confidence and decide the response.

  7. 07

    Report

    Record the findings and decision, with retention governed by policy.

Authorise, collect, preserve, process, correlate, validate, report. Process diagram.
