The problem

Golf courses and pitches go blind between inspections.

  • Turf disease, drought stress and pest damage are found days too late — by eye and on foot, across more surface area than any team can walk in a day. A large golf course spans 50–80 ha; a training complex covers dozens of pitches. The blind spots are enormous.
  • Blanket treatment wastes chemistry and time. Turf managers need to know exactly where to act — but the ground truth changes faster than weekly inspections can track.
  • Precision hardware is a capital purchase most clubs won't make — and even where drones exist, there's no brain coordinating them. Kit without orchestration is just expensive gadgets.

The solution

Fleet Command is the brain. It orchestrates the drones.

The product is software — a command platform that turns aerial drones and ground rovers into one coordinated operation. The air senses and diagnoses; the ground acts on what it finds; Fleet Command decides, dispatches and pre-empts across the whole fleet in real time.

You subscribe to the platform. It runs compatible drones you already own — or, if you'd rather not buy hardware, we lease it to you with the software, so the whole system stays an operating cost, never a capital outlay.

The same engine serves golf & sports turf first, then vineyards and other crops, then industrial estates — any managed surface that benefits from continuous aerial observation.

How it works

The units Fleet Command drives — off-the-shelf where it can be.

Overseer hexacopter at altitude

Overseer

Aerial · situational awareness

A fast hexacopter that sweeps the estate at altitude — mapping rows, flagging anomalies for closer inspection, and standing continuous fire-watch.

Analysis drone scanning a surface with multispectral sensors

Analysis Drones

Aerial · detailed imaging

Low, slow quadcopters that scan lane-by-lane with a multispectral array — confirming detections and capturing the imagery behind the digital twin of the surface.

Six-wheel ground rover on a managed surface

Ground Rovers

Ground · physical response

Six-wheel rovers with swappable payloads — precision treatment, soil sampling, fire suppression — dispatched to the exact GPS coordinates of a detection.

The loop Fleet Command runs: the air detects → the software dispatches the right rover → the ground responds. A critical event — fire — pre-empts everything else automatically. Aerial units build on proven airframes like the DJI Mavic 3M, customised and folded into the lease; the orchestration on top is ours.

The demo

The software is already running — and it isn't a video.

Behind the "Begin simulation" button, the real Fleet Command console drives a live digital twin through a scripted morning: the overseer sweeps at dawn, analysts scan the surface lane-by-lane, detections escalate into ground missions, and a fire triggers a priority override — in real time.

The same build is our development harness, our investor demo, and the sandbox where a prospect watches the platform run on a model of their own site before committing. One artefact, three jobs. Four real venues are modelled today — two golf and football EAP prospects, two vineyard demo clients.

What it does

Six jobs, one fleet.

Surface health

NDVI/NDRE maps turf stress, disease and drought before it's visible to the eye.

Pest detection

Damage signatures classified by ML; confirmed before any treatment decision.

Precision treatment

Rovers treat only the affected zone — a fraction of the chemistry, exactly where it's needed.

Soil sampling

Georeferenced cores build a spatial soil-health model over time.

Fire detection

Thermal watch, priority override, first-response suppression.

Digital twin

Point-cloud reconstruction of the surface — a queryable 3D record no walk-through can produce.

Data & the digital twin

Every flight trains the fleet — and rebuilds the surface in 3D.

The system doesn't just act on today's conditions; it compounds. What the fleet sees today makes it sharper tomorrow, and turns each site into a photoreal model its manager can explore.

  • A compounding data asset: every multispectral, RGB and thermal frame — paired with the outcome a rover confirms on the ground — becomes labelled training data. Detection and diagnosis models improve with every scan lane, site and season, so accuracy climbs and false alarms fall.
  • Point-cloud surface visualisation: the low, slow analysis drones capture the imagery behind a Gaussian-splat reconstruction — a photoreal, queryable 3D twin of the surface, at sub-metre resolution.
  • A living record: revisit any zone at any date, measure surface-health trends, and watch change over time — something no walk-through can produce, and no competitor can retro-capture.

Business model

Software subscription first. Hardware optional — never capital.

Base · the recurring core

Fleet Command subscription

The platform, priced by site size — orchestration, detection, mission planning, the live digital twin and alerts. Runs compatible drones a client already owns. This is the product, and the margin.

Essential

Under 10 ha · surveys, detection, alerts.

Professional

10–80 ha · full aerial + ground response.

Enterprise

80+ ha · full payloads, API, priority support.

Optional add-on

Hardware lease

No drones, or don't want the capital hit? Fold customised airframes — DJI Mavic 3M and ground rovers — into the lease. It collapses the up-front cost for producers and turns the whole system into a single monthly operating line.

We own the lifecycle: maintenance, upgrades, replacement. And hardware follows the calendar — kit serving a golf season in the north can redeploy to a southern hemisphere site, near-doubling asset utilisation.

Beyond the subscription: premium analytics, soil-lab services, agronomic and turf-science consulting, and insurance partnerships — all layered on the same platform, across every vertical.

Why now

The pieces just became buildable — and the data compounds.

  • Regulation is turning tailwind: BVLOS frameworks for commercial drone operations are maturing, with agriculture a cited priority.
  • A durable data asset: every survey enriches a Gaussian-splat digital twin — a photoreal, queryable model no competitor can retro-capture.
  • The software is the moat: drones and rovers are commodities; the orchestration platform that makes them cooperate autonomously is the hard, defensible part — and it improves with every deployment.
Market verticals

One engine. Three verticals. Grass sports first.

① Beachhead — now

Grass sports

Golf clubs & football training grounds. Turf disease and stress prevention — a lower barrier to entry than crops: turf managers already budget for agronomy, act on short feedback loops, and face acute, visible consequences if playing-surface quality slips.

EAP prospects: Willow Valley Golf & Country Club (Brighouse) · Leeds United FC — Thorp Arch training complex (Wetherby)

② Crops — near-term

Vineyards & other crops

The original viticulture use case becomes one crop vertical among several. Premium vineyards care acutely about disease (powdery/downy mildew), pest damage and yield — the same perception loop, different vegetation semantics.

Demo clients: Quintarelli Giuseppe (Valpolicella, IT) · Holmfirth Vineyard (West Yorkshire, UK)

③ Industrial — forward

Industrial estates & infrastructure

Coverage via thermal imaging and photogrammetry — asset inspection, hotspot and leak detection, site mapping. The same fleet, twin and dispatch engine already support thermal and RGB survey; only the anomaly semantics change.

No re-architecture required — the platform is already built for this vertical.

Positioning

Built to extend the expert — never to replace them.

This is not autonomy dressed up as a service. Fleet Command is an instrument in the hands of the turf manager, agronomist or estate operator — the eyes, the reach and the record to run a far larger site at the same standard of care. Every decision that matters stays with the expert.

  • It amplifies the specialist, it doesn't replace them. The fleet shows exactly where to look and does the legwork across terrain no team can cover daily — but what a reading means, and what to do about it, remains a human call.
  • Scale without losing the standard. One specialist can hold a whole golf course or training complex in view, zone by zone across every surface, and act only where it's genuinely needed — so growing the estate never means thinning the attention each area gets.
  • Never a consumer-facing story — the club's or estate's brand is untouched, and the B2B and end-consumer channels stay completely separate — no "powered by" on the scorecard, label, or jersey.
  • Served from regional engineering hubs near the client base, so owned hardware stays maintained and available year-round.
