Anti-drone protection of energy sector facilities

Energy sector facilities are particularly vulnerable to the growing threat of drones. Even small quadcopters (up to 3kg) are capable of causing critical damage to electrical substations and other power facilities.

Threat model for fuel and energy sector facilities

Even a standard, store-bought quadcopter with a relatively low threat level may pose a danger to these types of facilities, not to mention FPV drones, fixed-wing UAVs, or custom-built drones. Antidrone protection is necessary not only for oil and gas refineries, but also oil storage depots, trunk pipelines, oil terminals (oil tanks are especially vulnerable), warehouses, and other infrastructure facilities. Numerous precedents of drone-based airspace violations have already occurred at offshore oil and gas facilities.

Anti-drone protection for the fuel and energy sector should cover the following:

High-voltage transformers where there is a risk of short circuits and prolonged malfunctions.
Exposed switchgear, which could cause the entire substation to shut down if damaged.
Control systems, including SCADA and relay protection, through which control of a facility could be lost.
Power lines and cable glands that, if disrupted, would interrupt the power supply.
Transformer cooling systems whose malfunction could lead to an emergency shutdown.

  • Turbine plants: risk of damage and shutdown of generation
  • Generator equipment whose shutdown paralyzes the entire production cycle
  • Cooling and condensation systems that ensure efficient energy production
  • Distribution panels where short circuits are possible
  • Automated industrial control systems

Project specifics

Each project is developed individually based on the specific facility and its potential threat model. Our experts work together with integrators to choose the solution that best meets the customer's requirements.

Kaspersky Antidrone solution for fuel and energy sector protection

The Kaspersky Antidrone solution supports the connection of diverse equipment used to monitor airspace, detect drones, and neutralize them. Information about compatibility with specific devices is available upon request.
The Kaspersky Antidrone software platform minimizes false alarms, ensures the coordinated operation of all components, and reduces the likelihood of human error. Using this system provides fuel and energy sector facilities with reliable protection against drone threats.

Regional system for protecting the fuel and energy sector

The Kaspersky Antidrone software platform is designed to monitor and protect fuel and energy sector facilities situated in different regions. Radio-electronic devices and other tools, such as anti-drone netting, can be integrated into the system to help build effective, multicomponent protection. A single interface displays all events occurring at connected facilities, while control and surveillance are conducted from the customer's centralized operations control center.
This architecture ensures reliable protection for oil depots, terminals, storage tanks, and other critically important facilities.
The Kaspersky Antidrone platform's versatility enables it to adapt to changing threats via its easily scalable system and its ability to integrate with new drone detection and suppression tools from various manufacturers.

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.

This depends on the drone model, the system configuration, and the specific radio-electronic environment. In some cases, it only takes 0.05 seconds to detect targets such as drones, birds, or planes.
