SCOUTS – AUTONOMOUS DRONES

Intelligent Aerial Security. Autonomous Protection.

Security threats are becoming more dynamic, complex and difficult to monitor with conventional surveillance alone. Scouts – Autonomous Drones introduces a smarter approach to aerial security, combining autonomous flight, advanced AI and real-time surveillance to help organizations detect, assess and respond to potential threats more effectively.

Designed to operate with minimal human intervention, Scouts enables automated aerial patrolling without the need for continuous piloting. Patrols can be scheduled at defined intervals, including 15- or 30-minute frequencies, allowing critical areas to be monitored consistently and systematically. With autonomous flight capabilities and automated launchpad deployment, the system is designed to provide 24/7 readiness to engage when required.

At the heart of Scouts is intelligent threat detection. AI-powered technology can identify and classify potential security events, helping operators and security personnel receive timely notifications when attention is required. The system can identify situations such as unauthorized access and open gates, while also supporting fire and smoke detection. This allows aerial surveillance to become an active layer of security rather than simply a source of recorded footage.

Scouts combines high-quality 4K video with infrared capabilities, enabling surveillance during both day and night. Thermal and infrared functionality supports night vision and provides an additional layer of visibility in challenging conditions. Live video streaming, recording and real-time alerts provide security teams with valuable information through a dedicated drone security interface and tactical operations control environment.

Beyond conventional security patrols, Scouts can support a wide range of inspection and monitoring requirements. Its capabilities include AI-aided aerial inspection, rust and structural damage detection, coastal and long-range patrols, and VTOL operations. These capabilities can help organizations extend their visibility across large, remote or difficult-to-access areas while reducing the dependence on constant physical patrols.

Scouts also opens opportunities beyond traditional corporate security. Its potential applications include public safety and early-warning systems, including monitoring for elephant–railway collision risks. This demonstrates how autonomous drone technology can contribute not only to protecting people, property and infrastructure, but also to addressing wider operational and public-safety challenges.

The technology is supported by a homegrown, cost-effective approach and state-of-the-art AI, with the presentation highlighting collaboration involving the University of Moratuwa. Further developments include helium-powered drones and fixed-wing VTOL platforms, expanding the potential applications of autonomous aerial technology.

For organizations seeking to strengthen surveillance, improve situational awareness and introduce intelligent automation into their security operations, Scouts offers a new dimension of protection from above.
