ITDRONEDroneFormer™
Sovereign drone AI, proven against the state of the art
Mission-grade autonomous AI for commercial and defence drone operations — trained on the Isambard-AI national supercomputer, with published state-of-the-art beaten on counter-UAS and thermal ISR benchmarks. Built sovereign in the United Kingdom.
Five products. One sovereign platform.
Each module runs on the same DroneFormer™ core — interchangeable, hardware-agnostic, and continuously trained on real UK operational data.
UICS
Autonomous perimeter surveillance with real-time multi-class threat classification. Night-vision thermal, WebRTC streaming, multi-drone fleet coordination and incident command.
USURPER
Detects, classifies and neutralises hostile UAVs. Multi-sensor fusion of visual, RF signature, acoustic and thermal. Protocol take-over and coordinated swarm defence.
Lone Eagle
12-class obstacle detection for BVLOS flight. Predictive collision avoidance, dynamic path replanning, validated against kamikaze-trajectory and adverse-weather datasets.
AIRR Inspection
8-class structural defect analysis: cracks, corrosion, spalling, deformation, thermal anomalies. Bridges, rail, wind, solar and transmission infrastructure.
AgriDrone
Crop health monitoring, livestock tracking, irrigation analysis, pest detection and yield prediction through autonomous aerial surveys.
Engineered for the real world
Six engineering pillars that separate DroneFormer™ from generic ML wrappers and consumer drone software.
Purpose-Built for Aerial
Trained from day one on aerial perspective, motion blur, vibration, glare and edge-of-detection range — not retrofitted from automotive datasets.
Continuously Retrained
Models are retrained in waves on the Isambard-AI national supercomputer — performance keeps compounding without disrupting live operations.
Rapid Domain Adaptation
New defect classes or threat types bootstrap from small operational datasets through the same sovereign training pipeline — weeks, not quarters.
Sovereign UK AI
Code, training and inference live in the UK. Azure UK West + Isambard-AI Bristol HPC. Data never leaves the jurisdiction. GDPR-native.
Multi-Modal by Design
RGB, thermal, RF and acoustic sensing engineered to fuse across the platform — for robustness in fog, smoke, night and EW environments.
Real-Time On-Board
Edge inference on Jetson-class hardware keeps mission decisions airborne when the radio link drops or jamming kicks in.
Our own training runs, evaluated on each benchmark's official test split — not peer-reviewed leaderboard submissions.
Built for high-stakes operations
Six verticals where the wrong decision costs millions — and where sovereign, autonomous, multi-modal AI changes the maths.
Defence & Security
MOD, NATO allies, police forces and critical national infrastructure protection. Counter-UAS, perimeter, intel-gathering.
Energy & Utilities
National Grid, wind farms, solar arrays, pipelines and transmission towers — defect detection at infrastructure scale.
Transport Infrastructure
Network Rail, Highways England, ports, airports, bridge inspection. Reduce closure windows by an order of magnitude.
Emergency Response
Search-and-rescue, wildfire detection, disaster assessment, maritime SAR. First on scene, longer on station, smarter on data.
Construction & Mining
Site monitoring, safety compliance, PPE detection, progress reporting and volumetric analysis from a single airframe.
Precision Agriculture
Crop health, livestock tracking, irrigation, pest detection and yield prediction — turn fields into telemetry streams.
The DroneFormer™ tech stack
Twelve composable capabilities. Mix and match per mission, deploy on cloud or edge.
Auditable. Defensible. UK-native.
Every decision logged, every dataset traceable, every byte stays in the United Kingdom.
UK CAA
Operating authorisations.
GDPR Native
Article 9 compliant.
Cyber Essentials
