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.

Kaspersky Antidrone

This solution can easily be integrated into active security systems and scaled to meet the specific needs of various facilities and sites, ranging from industrial enterprises to airports and stadiums. The system uses artificial intelligence and neural networks to ensure highly accurate drone classification and minimize false positives.

Threat model for oil and gas facilities

These types of facilities are vulnerable even to store-bought, moderate-threat quadcopters in addition to fixed-wing UAVs, FPV drones, and custom-built drones. Antidrone protection is necessary for oil and gas refineries, oil storage depots, pipelines, terminals (oil tank protection is especially relevant right now), warehouses, and other facilities. Offshore oil and gas wells have already experienced numerous unauthorized drone flights.

Kaspersky Anti-drone protection of oil refineries should include the following:

Early detection of drones
Precise classification using AI
Timely, automated mitigation

Project specifics

The configuration of the system is unique to each customer and depends on the selected threat model. Our specialists, together with our integrator partners, provide the optimal solution for each site.

Kaspersky Antidrone solution for oil and gas sector protection


Kaspersky Antidrone permits the use of a wide range of devices to scan the airspace, detect aircraft, and mitigate them. Information about available integrations with specific devices is available upon request.
The Kaspersky Antidrone software reduces false positives, synchronizes data, and mitigates the risk of human error. State-of-the-art hardware based on a unified software platform ensures a high level of counter drone protection for oil refineries, storage depots, oil and gas wells, and fuel and lubricant storage facilities.

Regional system for protecting oil and gas facilities


Kaspersky's software-based anti-drone platform provides monitoring and protection of geographically distributed oil and gas facilities, units, and structures. It displays events for all facilities combined into a network on a single interface, and monitoring is conducted from a single situation room of the customer.
This ensures reliable protection of oil depots, terminals, storage facilities, and other structures.
The Kaspersky Antidrone system is versatile because it can be improved and integrated with new devices and market vendors as the threat model evolves.

FAQ

Over many years of operations, we have accumulated substantial experience in implementing projects of various scales, ranging from industrial facility protection to large-scale event security. Our approach is based on continual research and innovation, which guarantees that the company's solutions are effective and up to date in a rapidly changing world.

Kaspersky Antidrone is a modular system that is equipped and configured according to the requirements and threat model of each specific customer. If FPV is part of your threat model, you will be offered a configuration that takes this threat into account. However, the counteraction system may impact the wireless networks at your facility, including radio handsets and mobile devices.
