Products & Solutions
3 productsGuardian
Guardian is Asylon's current automated aerial security drone system, launched September 23, 2024, the commercial evolution of the prior DroneSentry/DroneCore platform. A drone-in-a-box system combining an EO/IR-equipped drone, DroneHome autonomous base station, DroneIQ software, and 24/7 RSOC managed operations.
Provides enterprise-scale automated aerial perimeter security with no on-site staffing requirements. Eliminates the operational bottlenecks of manual drone operations (FAA compliance, staffing, maintenance) while delivering continuous coverage, rapid alarm response, and real-time situational awareness for critical infrastructure, logistics, and corporate campus environments.
- Automated aerial patrols, scheduled perimeter sweeps and triggered alarm response, launches autonomously
- EO/IR payloads, high-resolution electro-optical and thermal sensors for day and night operations
- Patented automated battery swap in under 3 minutes via DroneHome base station for near-continuous readiness
- Powered by DroneIQ software for flight planning, data capture, system health, and audit trail

DroneDog
Asylon's all-terrain ground security robot, built on the Boston Dynamics Spot quadruped platform enhanced with Asylon's proprietary PupPack security payload. Provides 24/7 automated perimeter patrols, real-time threat detection using thermal and EO cameras, and seamless integration with the DroneIQ software and RSOC.
Provides consistent, autonomous ground-level perimeter patrol and alarm response in environments where aerial drones have limited coverage, including indoor spaces, stairwells, and complex terrain. Addresses labor shortages and fatigue issues in traditional manned guarding while providing an auditable patrol record.
- Built on Boston Dynamics Spot, climbs stairs, traverses uneven terrain, navigates tight spaces
- Asylon PupPack proprietary security payload with thermal and EO cameras
- 20x optical zoom with integrated IR for day and night surveillance
- Onboard RTK GPS and automated obstacle avoidance
6 more features
- Advanced AI/ML classifiers for anomaly detection

DroneCore Platform
DroneCore is Asylon's original automated drone-in-a-box perimeter security platform (also marketed as DroneSentry). Comprises a small UAS with autonomous take-off, landing, and battery swap capabilities, pre-planned flight, in-flight AI/ML analytics, and fully autonomous battery and payload swapping.
Provides persistent, automated perimeter surveillance and alarm response at facilities including airports, logistics hubs, corporate campuses, and military air bases, eliminating gaps in coverage caused by human guard fatigue, labor shortages, and inability to scale patrols cost-effectively. Specifically addresses maritime boundary security gaps at expeditionary air bases for USAF.
- Fully autonomous sUAS flight operations with pre-planned patrol missions
- In-flight AI/ML analytics for anomaly and intruder detection
- Autonomous battery and payload swapping enabling continuous 24/7 operations
- Integration with third-party sensors: 3D ground radars, electric smart fences, Bosch alarm panels, gun detection computer vision systems, Genetec VMS
