Sovereign UK drone operations should not depend on foreign cloud infrastructure.
We built UICS β Unified Intelligent Command System β because UK defence and emergency services teams kept hitting the same wall: world-class drones, but command-and-control software that routes mission data through manufacturer-owned cloud, often hosted outside UK jurisdiction.
UICS is different. It is a UK-hosted, multi-mission UAV operations platform integrating four capabilities under one architecture:
β Real-time multi-vendor command-and-control across DJI, Parrot, Autel, Skydio, PX4 and ArduPilot β including NDAA Section 889 compliant airframes for allied procurement.
β AI-augmented airborne intelligence with 28 custom models trained on Isambard-AI under approved UKRI AIRR allocation, supporting 60+ detection classes and cross-drone target handoff.
β Integrated counter-drone defence (RF-cyber detection and electronic takeover) fused into the unified command picture rather than running as a disconnected sidecar.
β Sovereign autonomous flight roadmap through our Lone Eagle programme β a British-manufactured airframe with GPS-denied SLAM navigation and multi-modal sensor fusion.
End-to-end UK data residency. Compliance-by-architecture across CAP 722, GDPR, Cyber Essentials Plus and NDAA 889. Currently TRL 6, Sprint 15, deployed on Azure UK West.
UICS is built for UK MOD operational units, blue-light emergency services, critical national infrastructure operators and law enforcement β wherever mission data must remain under UK control and operators need a single coherent picture instead of seven disconnected systems.
If your team is wrestling with sovereignty, multi-vendor interoperability, or counter-UAS integration challenges, I'd welcome a conversation.
