Critical Infrastructure Drone Security
Around the world, governments are taking steps to protect critical national infrastructure from the new and developing security threat posed by drones.
Drone security threats to critical infrastructure – power stations, oil and gas facilities, communications networks, transport hubs, water supplies – may be malicious or just reckless.
Malicious threats can take the form of everything from rival states spying to steal sensitive information to terrorist organisations and hostile actors plotting or carrying out attacks. While spying and surveillance via video drones represent the most common risk, the threat of a drone carrying an explosive device or simply being programmed to crash into a sensitive target is very real
Reckless misuse of drones, however inadvertent, can pose just as much of a security threat. As famously demonstrated by the Gatwick Airport incident in 2019, intentional or not, a single drone in the wrong place can spark a national security alert and cause millions of pounds in economic damage.
Counter Drone Solutions for Critical Infrastructure
The UK published its formal Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Strategy in 2019. This saw the UK adopt as official policy a ‘full spectrum’ approach towards the illegal and criminal misuse of drones that combines deterrence, detection and disruption.
In doing so, the policy opens the door to the licensing of robust anti-drone mitigation technology for use in protecting key assets.

Industry Leading Drone Detection
The DS-8 drone detection systems identify UAVs approaching from all directions and with a range of over 5km*, meaning drones can be identified well before they reach restricted airspace. Real-time alerts guarantee there is plenty of time to take action.
*subject to environment
Flexible Options
With models available for fixed and mobile deployment, the DS-8 units detect the control signals of selected major drone types. This includes the ability to intercept the signal of first-person-view (FPV) and video drones on selected drones, meaning you can see exactly what UAVs carrying out covert surveillance are capturing, and use recordings in potential prosecutions.
Find Out More About Drone Mitigation
While early detection and signal interception are highly useful tools in protecting critical assets, the only way to be certain of shutting down observation or preventing disruption is stopping a UAV in its tracks.
Our drone mitigation systems use state of the art technology to interfere with the UAV, disrupting the drones flight. Contact our team to find out more about drone mitigation in your region.
