OVERWATCH
EAGLESHIELD
Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and two attempts on President Donald Trump’s life, we recognised that each incident could have been prevented with proper aerial surveillance. That’s why we stepped in.
Our teams are led by former SRR Tier 1 UK Special Forces operators, providing expert drone monitoring and security planning for events of any scale. We can operate as a standalone unit or integrate seamlessly within existing security teams under a unified command structure.
​
We deploy a range of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to give your security team an eagle’s-eye view of the entire operational area. Our technology suite includes thermal and FLIR imaging, along with failsafe tethered UAVs and balloon-mounted systems that are immune to jamming and capable of legally operating where standard drones cannot.
WHO ARE THE SRR?
The UK Special Forces (UKSF) comprises of three tier 1 unites. SAS, SBS and the SRR. Otherwise known as the Grey Men, the SRR are the most secretive of them all. They are elite specialists in advanced surveillance, intelligence gathering, and covert reconnaissance. They're often the first to deploy ahead SAS and SBS, with whom they work with closely. They specialise in remaining hidden whilst operating deep behind enemy lines, often totally alone with no support. They are widely regarded as the most advance recon force in the world.
​
Our security operations are headed up by Ben who spent 10 years with the regiment.

HOW:
ASSESS
Our ex-special forces personnel can carry out on-site reconnaissance of upcoming locations, followed by a detailed assessment to identify potential threats and areas of concern well before the event.
PLAN
After the initial assessment, we plan optimal routes, flight patterns, and the most effective tech setup for each event or exposure. We provide both tethered and untethered systems, ensuring reliable failsafe options that are resistant to jamming. Our services include thermal and FLIR monitoring to detect potential threats—whether hidden in dense foliage or visible through open windows. We also deploy drones certified to operate legally over any crowd size, along with larger models offering enhanced capabilities and versatility.
PROTECT
On site monitoring can begin days before the event itself to prevent or spot any prior arrangements being made by a threat at the location. During the event we can embed into existing security teams providing them with eyes in the sky or work as an independent service. ​ We provide an aerial view that would have likely spotted many of the recent assassinations that have taken place in the US.
