Canopy delivers the UK sovereign drone detection and defeat platform for critical national infrastructure operators. Counter-UAS interdiction, AI surveillance and perimeter protection — integrated, governed and legally compliant from the ground up.
The drone threat to UK CNI is not hypothetical. State-adjacent reconnaissance, systematic cargo surveillance, sabotage payload delivery and pre-conflict infrastructure mapping are all documented threat classes against UK energy, port and industrial assets. Detection alone does not create deterrence. Defeat does.
Every engagement follows a structured methodology that ensures accurate data, legally defensible outputs and actionable results.
Site-specific drone threat assessment. Perimeter geometry analysis. Identification of high-value assets, approach vectors and detection coverage gaps.
Detection and defeat zone architecture designed for your site perimeter. Sensor placement for optimal coverage. Integration with existing CCTV and security infrastructure.
Canopy Observe AI detection integrated with site sensor infrastructure. Defeat module zones configured and pre-surveyed. Ofcom licence parameters confirmed.
Full detect-to-defeat pipeline operational. Single operator confirmation required for all engagements. Automated evidence package generated at every engagement close.
CAA GVC authorised. ITC Level 2 certified. ISO 18434-1 compliant. Every Canopy engagement is backed by the qualifications, methodology and insurance your procurement team requires.
Detection systems log drone incidents. Canopy closes the gap — detecting, classifying and defeating hostile drones before they reach their target. A drone operator who loses their aircraft and has their location captured will not attempt a second mission. Defeat creates deterrence.
Every comparable defeat platform with automated engagement capability is foreign-manufactured. Canopy is 100% UK-designed and UK-built. No PRC components, no ITAR exposure, no foreign supply chain dependency — meeting NSI Act 2021 and NCSC supply chain requirements.
The Rules of Engagement engine enforces legal compliance at every stage. Non-compliant activation is architecturally impossible. Every engagement generates an automated court-admissible evidence package meeting CPS standards.
NIS2 obligations require CNI operators to demonstrate reasonable steps against cyber-physical threats including drone attack. Canopy provides documented drone threat response capability, engagement logs and evidence packages that support regulatory compliance and insurance positioning.
Canopy Observe AI classification engine achieves over 94% confidence against drone signature database with a false positive rate below 2%. Pilot geolocation to within 8 metres transmitted to responsible police force at engagement initiation.
Headquartered in Hessle, Canopy has specific knowledge of the Humber Estuary CNI corridor. VPI Immingham, Humber Refinery, Port of Immingham, Siemens Gamesa and the Viking CCS corridor are all within 30 miles. Local deployment means faster response and lower mobilisation cost.
