From the sky.
Into the deep.

The world's first sovereign British VTOL drone that dives from air to underwater in 2 seconds. Dive to 50m. Sonar at depth. Command from the surface.

Britain's own
drone factory.

A sovereign, indigenous manufacturing capability — built on British soil to protect our seas, serve our people, and capture the value at home. Made in Britain, made for Europe.

Drones that fly — and dive.

VTOL drones that cross from air into water in under 2 seconds to inspect subsea cables and infrastructure, then fly home with data.

• Grounded in real research: Nezha (dives to ~50 m), Naviator (air↔water in under 2 seconds), AquaMAV, CRACUNS.
• The hard parts are real: waterproofing, buoyancy, two-fluid propellers, acoustic comms underwater.
• One motor. One line. A capability Britain hasn't had before.

Britain must build indigenous defence capabilities, and the private sector has a strategic responsibility to partner with Government in closing the maritime domain awareness gap.

We are that partner. The indigenous capability that lets the State deliver, not just plan.

Our cables are being stalked.

• Nov 2024 — Russian vessel Yantar flew three drones over Irish waters near subsea cables.
• Same vessel has been spotted off British coast 14 times — classified estimates.
• Each cable cut costs £2 billion per day in economic disruption.

The world's data runs under our sea.

• 42 cable systems land on British shores (4 to North America).
• £10 trillion+ in daily financial flows depend on them.
• 82 data centres on British soil; global internet hub status at risk.

A sea the size of a country — no eyes on it.

• 773,676 km² UK EEZ — 6th largest in the world.
• ~10 naval ships operational (down 50% from 2020).
• Can't possibly patrol a territory the size of Scotland with 10 ships.

North Sea: 300 platforms, 45,000 km of pipeline.

• 40% of Britain's gas comes from fields we can barely watch.
• Each platform = attack surface; each pipeline section = single point of failure.
• A sabotage event could cascade across the entire energy grid.

The English Channel: world's busiest — and blindest.

• 500 vessels per day pass through the world's busiest shipping lane.
• 85% of UK trade flows through this 50 km bottleneck.
• Border Force has 10 ships to monitor 12,429 km of coastline.

Undersea sabotage isn't theory.

• Estonia 2023: Russian shadow fleet cut Balticconnector gas pipeline.
• Jan 2025: Shadow-fleet tanker Arne dragged anchor off Co. Mayo, missing AEC-1 cable.
• 11+ cables cut or damaged in the Baltic since Oct 2023.

AUKUS obligates deeper reach.

• AUKUS treaty commits UK to Indo-Pacific monitoring by 2027.
• Navy cannot meet that mandate with 19 vessels.
• Autonomous drones are the only force multiplier that scales.

Russia's shadow fleet is off Cornwall right now.

• Lloyd's List Intelligence: 12+ sanctioned vessels in UK waters, Dec 2024.
• AIS spoofing: targets show false positions to hide intent.
• Submarine-based reconnaissance is undetectable by surface radar.

Nuclear coast: Sizewell, Torness, Heysham.

• 6 coastal nuclear power stations sit on British coastlines.
• Perimeter defence currently: boat patrols and radar.
• A security incident costs £10 billion+ in economic loss + evacuation.

Fishing grounds lost. Drug runners gained.

• UK EEZ fishing grounds lose £1.4 billion per year to illegal trawling (DEFRA).
• Drug trade through the Channel: £3 billion+ per year (NCA).
• Persistent drone surveillance = selective enforcement capability.

Who watches the watchers?

• Border Force has 10 vessels for a coastline 1,243 km long.
• Coverage: ~0.8 vessels per 124 km — physically impossible to maintain.
• Drones don't sleep, don't demand shore leave, scale to 100 units for £420k.

Persistent drones, not scarce ships.

• NATO launched Operation Baltic Sentry (Jan 2025) with ~20 naval drones.
• Cost-per-patrol-hour: drones 1/1000th the cost of frigates.
• The mission is already demonstrated: detecting loitering, anchor-dragging, suspicious vessels.

Eyes on the seabed.

• Operate to 50 metres depth with millimetre sonar resolution.
• Detect cable movement, ship anchors, pipeline anomalies.
• Upload via encrypted mesh to surface buoy or ship.

We watch the cable from launch to landing.

• Continuous visual + sonar coverage of critical landing stations.
• Early warning for sabotage, accidental damage, illegal mining.
• Cost: £4.2k per drone vs £80M per surveillance ship.

Air above. Water below. One system.

• Air propulsion + water propulsion from single brushless motor.
• Transition time: under 2 seconds (proven by Naviator research).
• No external ballast, no mechanical switching — electromagnetic control.

A swarm of 100 costs less than one destroyer.

• 100 drones: £420,000 total.
• One Type 45 destroyer: £2 billion + £80M/yr operating cost.
• Swarm replacement cost: 2% of flagship.

The kalashnikov of British defence.

• Designed for field serviceability, not depot repair.
• No software updates required mid-mission.
• Teaching point: a 17-year-old can fix it with a spanner and 10 minutes.

Deployed from any Royal Navy vessel.

• VTOL design = no runway, no catapult, no recovery net required.
• Works from any ship, any port, any cliff.
• Command & control: encrypted, decentralised mesh network (sovereign comms).

One motor — two fluids.

• Air-optimised: high RPM, low torque for hovering efficiency.
• Water-optimised: low RPM, high torque via electromagnetic reconfiguration.
• Same motor, different electrical switching — zero moving parts.

Autonomous mesh at sea.

• Self-healing network: if one drone drops out, swarm routes around it.
• End-to-end encrypted; no cloud dependency.
• Military-grade COMSEC: no reliance on US cloud providers.

6-hour endurance. 20 minutes to recharge.

• DJI Agras: 20 min flight + 60 min charge = 4 missions/day.
• Our drone: 6 hours flight + 20 min charge = 1 mission/day, continuous ops.
• Solar recharge modules: ultra-thin perovskite, 44 W/g (JKU Linz).
