Protecting a fixed facility
Human intrusion, wildlife incursions into sensitive areas and night-time surveillance, where foot patrols and CCTV lose effectiveness.
Conceptual image generated with AI
01 The challenge
Long perimeters. Fixed resources. Late alerts.
Current resources are fixed, reactive, staff-intensive and have structural blind spots.
Temporary positions with no eyes in the sky
A temporary deployment has no surveillance of its own and no pre-installed infrastructure, precisely when it is most vulnerable.
Incidents without an accurate picture
After an incident, information arrives late and fragmented: loose photos, verbal reports, maps that are months old.
02 The solution
Not one more camera. It closes the loop.
VIGIA replaces reactive surveillance with an observation → detection → alert → decision loop that is unattended and resilient.
In scheduled cycles
By day and by night, with no human presence on site.
What the eye cannot see
The thermal signature of a person hidden behind vegetation, or the NIR contrast of a silhouette.
Classified alert
The AI tells wildlife from intrusion, places the detection on the map and alerts the post.
The operator takes over when it matters
When an alert is raised, they take remote control to confirm and identify.
To any location
Vehicle-mounted, it brings the capability to a deployment or to an incident area.
Incident mapping
Georeferenced orthomosaic and site report.
03 How it works
An operational cycle in four phases.
- 01
Planning
Area of interest, patrol plans, mapping missions and alert rules on the GIS engine.
- 02
Flight
Scheduled and autonomous, or semi-assisted from the command post. Switchable at any time.
- 03
AI detection
Detection, classification and location in visible, NIR and thermal, with multispectral fusion.
- 04
Alert and response
Type, confidence, position and image sent to the post. The entire sequence is logged.
04 Technology
An autonomous, unattended and secure node.
A compact vertiport houses, protects, recharges and launches the drone. Same drone, same command, same AI and GIS, whether fixed or vehicle-mounted.
Vertiport
A box of approximately 50 × 50 × 50 cm with self-centring landing and inductive charging.
Multispectral vision
Visible, near infrared (NIR) and thermal infrared (LWIR), fused to reduce false positives.
Edge AI
Person, group, vehicle or animal, classified on board and at the node.
Geospatial intelligence
GIS engine with preloaded maps and high-resolution orthomosaics generated by the drones themselves.
Security by design
Communications encrypted with VPN and digital certificate, and a secrets vault that renders keys unusable if tampered with.
Self-sufficient services
Hybrid power (grid or solar) and hybrid communications (local network, satellite or 5G).
| Current resource | What VIGIA adds |
|---|---|
| Guard posts and fixed CCTV | Repositionable aerial coverage, with no blind spots and multispectral vision |
| Foot patrols | Autonomous aerial patrols, with no staff exposure or fatigue |
| Alert after the intrusion | Early detection and classification on the outer perimeter |
| Unused video footage | AI that recognises, classifies, locates and alerts; a searchable history |
| Static maps | High-resolution mapping by the drones themselves |
| Late incident report | Immediate, georeferenced survey: orthomosaic, thermal layers and report |
05 Application
It changes where the vertiport lives, not what it does.
Critical facilities
Unattended vertiports for permanent perimeter surveillance of facilities and extensive perimeters.
Vehicle-mounted
A forward command post that deploys the drones wherever it goes: to protect a position or to map and document an incident.
It scales from one node to a network of interconnected nodes, with a common operational picture, without changing platform.

07 Outcome
Built on a command and control foundation that is already validated.
The multi-station command and control, common operational picture and encrypted IP operation capabilities that VIGIA relies on have already been validated in operation.
- Validated
Command and control
Command and control platform validated in real flight.
- In progress
Drone + vertiport
Integration of the drone and vertiport system.
- Next
Real environment
Surveillance tests in a real environment.
Results from the real-environment tests will be published when available.
