The challenge

Large perimeters can’t be protected on foot.

Construction sites, energy parks, mines and terminals stretch across tens of kilometres. Ground teams and fixed CCTV leave blind spots, are slow to respond and don’t scale with the area.

to patrol just 5 km with a ground team.

85%

of ports and industrial sites lack continuous video coverage.

24/7

Threats don’t respect schedules, shifts or terrain.

How it works

A complete mission, from alarm to recharge, with no human intervention.

The drone lives inside the docking station. When an alarm is triggered or a patrol is scheduled, the system takes off, executes the mission, streams live and returns to swap its battery automatically.

01

Alarm or schedule

Missions scheduled in the UTM software or triggered by CCTV alarms, sensors or the operator, with a single click.

Automatic trigger
02

Immediate take-off

The station opens, runs the pre-flight checks and the drone takes off towards the point of interest.

< 2 min response
03

AI-powered patrol

EO and thermal detection and tracking of people and vehicles, live video and alerts in the command centre.

Up to 60 min flight
04

Return and battery swap

RTK precision landing and robotic battery swap. The drone is ready for the next mission.

Onboard intelligence

AI decides in the air, not in the cloud.

Every drone carries an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX computer that analyses EO and thermal video in real time. It detects, classifies and tracks targets even with no internet connection.

100 TOPSof onboard AI performance for real-time detection, tracking and alerts

EO/IR detection and tracking

People and vehicles, object counting, restricted zones and density thresholds. Tracks up to 15,000 targets.

AI visual navigation

Anti-jamming and anti-spoofing. Operates where GNSS is degraded or unavailable.

Secure communications

AES-256, dynamic frequency selection and frequency hopping when interference is detected.

Scalability

From a single site to networks spanning hundreds of km².

Start with one station and add units as your perimeter grows. All of them share the same command centre.

Use case

A 200 km² perimeter on a large-scale construction site

Six stations distributed along the perimeter, with overlapping coverage, deliver continuous patrols with no gaps. The entire operation is managed from a single command centre, integrated with the existing CCTV.

Drone ↔ C2 communications

A resilient link, tailored to your site.

Choose the communications architecture that best fits your existing infrastructure, or combine both for full redundancy.

Option 01

iDroneSecurity Telebase

Dedicated, secure RF antenna with dynamic frequency selection, frequency hopping and software-selectable six-band operation.

Option 02

4G / 5G network

Operation over private or commercial 4G/5G networks, ideal for sites with good mobile coverage.

Option 03

Redundant configuration

RF and 4G/5G simultaneously, in active/standby mode, for maximum link availability.

Deployment

From first contact to full coverage in under 90 days.

01

Site survey

Technical survey of the perimeter, the terrain and the available communications.

02

Deployment plan

Defining the number of stations, their locations and the communications architecture.

03

Installation and testing

Physical installation and integration with existing CCTV, VMS and security systems.

04

24/7 operation

Continuous surveillance with support and agreed service levels (SLA).

Frequently asked questions

What our clients ask.

Does the system need a pilot to operate?

No. Missions run autonomously, from take-off to landing and battery swap. The operator in the command centre supervises, receives alerts and can take manual control at any time, for example to follow a target.

Does the drone work without GPS or under interference?

Yes. AI visual navigation enables operation where GNSS is degraded and protects against jamming and spoofing. Communications use frequency hopping and dynamic frequency selection.

Does it integrate with our existing CCTV and security systems?

Yes. The UTM software provides an open API for integration with third-party C2 platforms, VMS, CCTV and analytics systems. Alarms from those systems can trigger missions automatically.

In what weather conditions can it operate?

The system operates from −35 °C to +60 °C, at altitudes up to 4,000 m. The drone withstands winds of up to 15 m/s, and the docking station is climate-controlled and built for wind, rain and harsh environments.

What infrastructure is required on site?

A clear area of 3 m × 3 m per station, with a 2 m × 2 m base, and a 200–240 V AC power supply (1 kW average consumption) or solar power. The link to the command centre can be via Telebase RF, 4G/5G or both.

How is regulatory compliance handled?

The UTM software includes geofencing, no-fly zones and failsafe protocols to comply with local airspace rules. The regulatory framework for each operation is assessed during the site survey.
