Building a Persistent Picture of the Operating Environment

Modern defence operations demand constant visibility and integration across a multi-domain (Air, Land, Sea, Space Cyber-EM) operational space while simultaneously minimising risk to service personnel.

StirlingX enables defence partners to establish persistent, autonomous reconnaissance and monitoring capabilities that deliver real-time intelligence while reducing operational burden.

Our secure, sovereign platform integrates advanced drone systems, resilient communications, and AI-driven analytics into a unified service.

It supports surveillance, perimeter monitoring, and environmental awareness across bases, training areas, and critical national infrastructure, giving commanders and planners a clear, continuous picture of the operating environment.

The result: faster decision cycles, enhanced safety, and assured data control.

Operational Applications

  • Persistent and Robust Surveillance – Maintain 24/7 visibility over installations, borders, or training areas.
  • Change and Threat Detection – Identify unusual activity, movement, or environmental change in real time.
  • Force Protection – Reduce personnel exposure through autonomous perimeter and route reconnaissance.
  • Operational Resilience – Continue intelligence operations even in denied, degraded, or disrupted environments.
  • Secure Sovereign Data – All data handled within UK-based, security-cleared environments to defence standards.

How It Works

1. Mission Definition

Working with defence and government clients, StirlingX defines surveillance objectives, operating parameters, and data assurance protocols within classified or restricted airspace.

2. Automated Deployment

Using advanced drone platforms with multi-sensor payloads (EO/IR, LiDAR, RF, and environmental sensors), StirlingX conducts repeatable, automated sorties under secure, resilient communication links.

3. Data Capture and Encryption

All mission data is encrypted in flight and stored within secure, accredited environments – ensuring end-to-end information assurance and full auditability.

4. AI-Assisted Analytics

Machine-learning models analyse imagery and sensor feeds to detect movement, change, or environmental anomalies – providing early warning and situational updates.

5. Operational Integration

Insights are fed into existing command and control (C2) systems, enabling rapid response, enhanced decision-support, and improved defensive posture.

6. Continuous Improvement

Each mission concludes with a comprehensive review to measure outcomes against project objectives. Feedback loops and performance data are fed back into future operations.
