Asylon Robotics Signs $17 Million, Five-Year Autonomous Robot Security Contract with Securitas
The deal covers 26 autonomous systems — drone-in-a-box and Boston Dynamics Spot robots — plus a remote operations center and staff, protecting US critical infrastructure customers.
Asylon Robotics has signed a five-year, $17 million contract with Securitas, the world's largest guarding company, to provide autonomous security services for US critical infrastructure customers. Announced October 22 and covered by Forbes, the deal includes 26 autonomous systems combining drone-in-a-box platforms and Boston Dynamics Spot quadruped robots, coordinated through the company's DroneIQ software with live video and analytics, plus a remote operations center and operating personnel.
The commercial structure is the notable part: rather than selling robots, Asylon sells a managed service — hardware, software, operations center and staff bundled into one five-year contract with a single accountable party. Forbes cites vendor-reported claims of reduced incident rates at protected sites.
The deal is a reference model for how autonomous security is being commercialized at scale: subscription-based, outcome-oriented and operationally bundled. Direct replication in other markets depends heavily on local drone regulation, which in most jurisdictions — including Indonesia — requires flight permits that constrain drone-patrol offerings.
