Protecting fuel storage facilities from UAVs

Facilities in the fuel and energy sector are at high risk in the event of a drone attack. This is because of the infrastructure of oil and gas companies – storage tanks, gas pipelines and other facilities.

Defending fuel depots from drones

Why is protecting fuel storage facilities important?

For oil and gas companies, any drone can be a threat – a store-bought quadcopter, a fixed-wing UAV, an FPV drone, or a custom-built non-serial drone. As a result, early detection, accurate drone classification and timely neutralization play an important role in protecting an enterprise.

Kaspersky Antidrone uses a variety of technologies and the best hardware on the market for detection. Intelligent software algorithms reduce the probability of false positives and prevent attacks as quickly as possible.

  • Kaspersky Antidrone
  • Protects refineries from the dangers posed by unlawful use of UAVs. Prevents attempts to cause damage.
  • Automatically detects and recognizes the drone type. AI-based software analyzes hypothetical threats.
  • Built-in friend-or-foe recognition ensures that only unwanted drones are neutralized.

Choosing a solution

Project

Kaspersky Antidrone adapts to the type and threat landscape of a site with the ability to integrate into existing security and monitoring systems.

Deployment

The layout of the detection, classification and neutralization modules is implemented in such a way that it covers the territory of the airport, including the approach path.

Setup

Configuration and demonstration of the Kaspersky Antidrone system takes place over one day, after which the client is provided with detailed instructions on how to use the solution.

Launch

Kaspersky Antidrone operates in continuous airspace monitoring mode: detection and classification are performed automatically 24 hours a day.

Use case

Object
Oil refinery storage facility
Area
3000 sq. m
Implementation period
3-6 months

Project features

For effective protection against drones, it is necessary to thoroughly inspect the facility, determine the height of objects and build a threat model.

The Kaspersky Antidrone solution

The storage facility requires special attention because even a small drone with a payload of up to 3kg can be very dangerous. That's why effective detection requires a combination of radar equipment, radio frequency detectors and direction finders, as well as optical detection.

Kaspersky Antidrone software provides effective monitoring, reduces false alarms and enables automatic jamming, reducing the risk of human error.

The best equipment is used to protect the fuel and energy sector from drones

Portable detector

This module classifies an object at any time of day thanks to thermal imaging cameras, determines the distance to the object and performs targeting, waiting for a command to be sent to the jamming device.

Processing module

The module is a system server. The server is portable, which allows you to deploy the system at a convenient location. It processes all the data from the sensors and makes security decisions.

Portable UAV detector

This module classifies an object at any time of day thanks to thermal imaging cameras, determines the distance to the object and performs targeting, waiting for a command to be sent to the jamming device.

Radar

Radar-based detection device suitable for use at large sites areas, day and night, in all weather conditions.

Radio frequency scanner

RF scanning is suitable for large sites, including those in urban areas, regardless of time of day or weather conditions, with the ability to determine the location of the pilot.

Jamming module

Jamming UAVs is possible by creating interference on frequency channels. It prevents the drone from sending control or navigation signals and reaching its final destination, causing the aircraft to force a landing or return to the point of launch.

Lidar

Laser scanning technology provides 360-degree monitoring of airspace within a radius of up to 1 kilometer. The technology does not require additional permits and can be used at sites within city limits.
