The sensor is only part of the job
What matters is the decision it supports — how many animals use a site, where they move, and whether that use is changing.
About Supersensory
We combine zoology, field engineering, machine learning, and reporting so remote monitoring data can be used in real project decisions.
We work to what you need to report
Most projects start with an approval condition, monitoring program, or impact assessment. We design the monitoring around that requirement.
Built to run in the real world
Manual monitoring does not scale, and fragile one-off systems do not survive hard sites. We build practical systems for real field conditions.
Directors
The two co-founders. Kyle leads the science; Rick leads the engineering. Their work is grounded in published, peer-reviewed research.
Dr Kyle Armstrong
Co-founder · Zoologist
Bat ecologist with 20+ years of work on Australian threatened bat species. Contributing expert and reviewer of the Commonwealth's Survey Guidelines for Australia's Threatened Bats; former president of the Australasian Bat Society. Leads threatened-species science across species identification, survey design, and reporting for regulators.

Recognition
Inaugural Innovator of the Month, 2026 — CORE Innovation Hub called Supersensory “one of the most sophisticated environmental monitoring platforms in the country.”
The award recognises the combination behind Supersensory — a zoologist and an engineer building monitoring systems that hold up in real Australian field conditions.
Work With Us
Since February 2023, we have installed more than 23 automated monitoring systems for mining, wind energy, and government clients.
