UAV and Drone Technology

Giving you a new perspective on your security using UAV and Drone Technology

Drone and UAV platforms have formed a critical part of Code 9 Security's operations for over a decade, allowing us to gain a unique and advantageous perspective to inform decision-making, detect threats early and direct security officers on the ground. 

Building on over 10-years of successful UAV and drone deployments, giving us a tactical advantage and a whole new perspective to protect your organisation and its estates.

Since our first flight in 2013, technology has come a long way, and our equipment now uses a combination of advanced thermal and LiDAR sensors, search and floodlights, speaker systems and more.

Our drone operators are appropriately qualified and licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) together with licenses for public space surveillance. We are also working hard to become the first private security operator to be able to operate autonomous sorties (flights) monitored centrally in our control room.

Is it time you found out how you can use drone technology to transform your security operation?

How are we deploying drone technology?

Code 9 Security | Drone Technology

Rural Crime

Our rural crime officers routinely use drones as part of their estate deployments, helping proactive protection of critical assets, machinery, and livestock, while allowing for a targetted and definitive response to threats.

Over the years, we have deployed drones to manage bio-security risks, intercept and detain people suspected of illegal hare coursing, and politely redirect trespassers to established and recognised footpaths.

Hazardous Area Capability

Colleagues in our complex and hazardous area risk team use drone technology to gain real-time intelligence about their operating environments.

Examples might include identifying the number of urban explorers on the roof of a disused building before committing officers to intercept and safely remove them. Another could be to check for heat signatures of a large or complex structure, like a Cathedral, following a fire alarm, allowing us to make informed decisions on how best to respond.

Autonomous Sorties

Code 9 Security is working hard to be able to deploy specialist equipment to allow for the autonomous deployment of drone technology and remotely piloted equipment from our centralised flight operations hub, and hopes to make this available in 2024 subject to approvals from the Civil Aviation Authority.

This capability would be invaluable to autonomously patrol large areas, surveying photovoltaic equipment, supporting perimeter intruder detection in national infrastructure and identifying threats early.
