Who we are
Steel Defence Robotics (SDR) is a specialist management consulting firm headquartered in London. We provide the governance, risk, and strategy frameworks required for organisations to integrate AI, robotics, and drone technologies into mission-critical operations.
Originally incorporated in 2020, SDR has evolved from a frontline drone services provider into a strategic advisory. We leverage deep infrastructure experience and academic rigour to bridge the gap between technical complexity and executive decision-making. We are vendor-neutral, objective, and focused exclusively on the security and scalability of your autonomous roadmap.
Our Mission
To eliminate technical debt and operational risk by providing the “Golden Thread” of governance that allows organisations to deploy intelligent automation with absolute certainty.
Strategic Delivery. Defined Outcomes.
We provide bespoke strategic frameworks designed to meet specific operational requirements. Rather than offering generalist advice, we align our consulting mandates with your primary business objectives—ensuring that every technological deployment is architected for security, resilience, and long-term value. We don’t just identify the path; we provide the blueprint for its execution.
