See the Unseen and Secure the Advantage.
Hidden electromagnetic risks can derail missions before anyone sees them. Success often depends on noticing what others overlook.
Sometimes it takes just “one more question”.
It’s a method made famous by Columbo, and one we use at Synchronous Science. With curiosity, persistence, and technical depth, we strip away noise until the truth is clear. What looks obvious often hides the detail that changes everything.
Like Columbo piecing together a case, we guide clients through complexity step by step, until the best solution stands out.
We help defence and security organisations under pressure to deliver. From evaluating technology to exposing vulnerabilities and understanding electromagnetic risks, we provide the clarity to act with confidence. Every answer is tested against reality, every solution built to deliver in the field.
The Problem We Solve
You can’t defend against what you can’t detect.
In today’s world, electromagnetic risks hide in plain sight. A rogue personal device. An optical deception that blinds at the wrong moment. A vulnerability in an off-the-shelf RF system that no one thought to question.
These blind spots don’t stay harmless. In fast-moving, high-stakes programmes they lead to:
- Delayed deployments
- Unreliable field performance
- Costly surprises when it matters most
The truth is simple: you can’t afford to miss what you can’t see. That’s where we come in.
At Synchronous Science, we ask the awkward questions, uncover the overlooked details, and expose risks before they become failures. It’s how we help you cut through complexity and act with confidence when the stakes are highest.
The Solution We Offer
We make the invisible visible.
Our approach is simple but powerful: start with questions, test assumptions, and uncover what others miss. By combining scientific rigour with hands-on investigation, we turn complex electromagnetic challenges into clear, actionable answers.
What this means in practice:
- Sharper decisions — we expose hidden risks before they cost you time or credibility.
- Stronger performance — our prototypes and models are tested early, with real hardware, in real conditions.
- Trusted outcomes — every recommendation is grounded in evidence, not guesswork.
Whether it’s electromagnetic modelling, risk assessment, or rapid R&D prototyping, we cut through complexity and give you clarity. Quietly, quickly, and effectively.
Who We Help
Curiosity that cuts through complexity
We work with people who carry the weight of critical decisions, and who can’t afford blind spots.
We support:
MOD decision-makers and defence primes under pressure to deliver.
If you’re part of a mission-critical system, we’re the invisible component that helps it perform, by uncovering what others don’t see, and giving you the clarity to act with confidence.
What We Do
The science of asking better questions
Every service is shaped by curiosity, tested against reality, and delivered with technical integrity.
Why It Matters
Investigation, insight, impact
In high-stakes environments, guesswork is a luxury you can’t afford. The smallest blind spot can derail a mission, and the breakthrough often lies in the question no one thought to ask.
Our approach is simple but relentless: curious, persistent, and quietly probing. We cut through uncertainty and give clients more than a report, we give them clarity, confidence, and a clear way forward.
One project began with a passing thought: “What if the sea surface itself was the problem?” That question led to advanced modelling of hydrodynamic scatter and ultimately gave a defence client superior maritime surveillance capability. A single question changed the outcome.
That’s what we do. We follow the thread others dismiss, test ideas in the real world, and stay with the problem until the answer is delivered.
If electromagnetic, spectrum, or risk-related challenges are clouding your view, let’s talk. Sometimes the difference between failure and success is just one more question.
Because the right answer rarely comes from the obvious place
