WHAT WE DO

Enhance your security with ASEL drone services

ASEL has become one of the UKs leading providers of automated drone services, driven by a proven track record in public safety and security – where reliability, speed and accuracy matter most. Building on this foundation, ASEL enables customers to unlock the full value of having an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in the air, delivering a growing range of high-impact capabilities across large complex sites, from inspections to modelling to rapid on-site intelligence.

With automation at its core, ASEL helps organisations reduce cost, increase responsiveness and scale drone operations with confidence.

Drone Security Operations Centre

Manned by Our In-House Drone Pilots

The ASEL Drone Security Operations Centre has over 500 hours of flight time manned 24/7/365 by our in-house drone pilots who are all certified by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and qualified for remote pilot operations.

Our state-of-the-art drone provide photography, videography and thermal imaging for a wide range of applications and industries.

With industry-leading drone surveillance capabilities, our drones give you high-quality footage and imagery either as part of a survey or report, or for real-time coverage. For premises of all sizes and for every stage of a site’s lifecycle – our drones enhance your security measures and give you peace of mind.

Benefits of ASEL drone services

Using drones for photography, videography and thermography provides a variety of benefits: improved efficiency, a safer way to procure imagery and footage, immediate results, and cost-effectiveness.

A safer way to get images and footage

Reduce risks to your staff – rather than sending teams to hazardous or hard-to-access areas, a drone can get imagery and footage safely

Cost-effective

Drones offer an affordable alternative to equipment like scaffolding or scissor/platform lifts when you need to access hard-to-reach locations to conduct surveys or inspections

Immediate results

You’ll receive your images and footage straight away, with no inconvenient wait times

Efficiency

Using a drone can help you reduce labour-intensive procedures like erecting scaffolding or planning and executing visits to inaccessible areas

Prevent and reduce crime

Drones can be used to monitor events like protests and demonstrations as well as safeguarding properties and acting as a crime deterrent

Our Drones

As authorised DJI Enterprise resellers, we’re proud to offer a market-leading range of drones designed to meet the demands of professional users across industries such as security, inspection, public safety, construction, and surveying.

DJI’s drone-in-a-box solution combine the DJI Dock 3 and Matrice 4TD aircraft to conduct automatic repeatable drone patrols and inspections.

Features include:

– Drone flight time: Up to 53 minutes
– Recharge time 15% to 100% in 27 minutes
– Weatherproof and fully programmable
– Smart tech features such as a weather station, GPS, and advanced redundancy features to ensure continued operation in the unlikely event of malfunctions
– Operates in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 50°C, making it suitable for all seasons
– Can fly in winds of up to 33.5mph
– Can be charged and airborne again in less than 30 minutes, or if there is a requirement for 100% uptime, a second dock and drone can be introduced
– IP66 rating, ensuring protection against dust and moisture

Seamless Integrations for Smarter Protection

Our drone solution is designed to work in harmony with your wider security ecosystem, creating a fully connected and responsive approach to site protection. By integrating with our existing products and technologies, drones become an intelligent extension of your security operation, enhancing visibility, reducing response times, and improving overall situational awareness.

Integration with the WASP

A key example of this is our integration with the Wireless Alarm Site Protection (WASP) tower. When a WASP unit is triggered, the system can automatically deploy a drone to the exact location of the activation. Within moments, the drone provides a live aerial view of the situation, allowing real-time assessment of what’s happening on the ground.

This automated response enables faster and more informed decision-making. If an incident is confirmed, security teams can take immediate and appropriate action, supported by live footage and recorded evidence captured by the drone. If it’s a false alarm, this can be quickly verified without the need to deploy personnel unnecessarily.

By combining the fixed vigilance of WASP towers with the agility and intelligence of drone technology, we deliver a proactive, integrated security solution that maximises coverage while minimising risk and operational costs.

Pioneering drone services from ASEL

As part of our pioneering approach to security technology, we are currently working with the CAA to develop the concept of ‘Beyond Visual Line of Site’ (BVLOS) to enable drones to be piloted remotely from within control rooms.

At present, pilots are required to maintain Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) at all times during drone flights, but our work on developing BVLOS promises to expand the possibilities of what our drone services can offer you. So, watch this space for further updates.

With over 200 flight hours across Team Valley, the ASEL drone control room have deterred several incidents to date by deploying autonomous drones to identified potential security incidents

The introduction of autonomous drone patrols has been a genuine game changer for how ASEL responds to intelligence and alerts across Team Valley. For the first time, our risk and intelligence operations can put eyes on a sensor activation within seconds and remain in flight for close to an hour, allowing us to verify threats in real time and intervene before offenders gain confidence or momentum. In 2025 alone, three “in-progress” burglary attempts were deterred simply because the drones arrived first – disturbing offenders before they could force entry. That level of rapid, autonomous response has fundamentally raised he standard of protection we can offer our clients and the Wider Valley Watch Community.
