StirlingX
Sovereign intelligence and autonomy platform for contested environments
About StirlingX
StirlingX is a British data-intelligence company, founded in 2022 by Dean Jones within GALLOS Technologies, that builds a sovereign intelligence and autonomy platform to capture, secure, fuse, analyse and act on sensor data in complex and contested environments. Use cases span surveying, mapping and monitoring critical infrastructure through to detecting and countering hostile drones for defence ministries and critical-national-infrastructure operators, with customers including National Grid and Murphy; the firm designs and manufactures drones, autonomous systems and analytics software in Britain with sites in Cambridge and Oxford, and is chaired by former GCHQ director Sir Jeremy Fleming. After an extended seed of about £8.3 million, StirlingX raised a £15.1 million ($20 million) Series A in July 2026 led by Ventura Capital with RCM Private Markets Master Fund managed by Rokos Capital Management to accelerate product development and commercial roll-out.
