Design of systems to protect buildings and structures from UAVs
Comprehensive solutions for facility security and protection.
"Our PES (protective enclosing structures) are already protecting facilities in the area of military operations and surrounding territories. For example, at field fuel depots, they have reduced the number of successful drone attacks by 90%."
Defensive solutions against kamikaze drones based on the “Darwin” net

SZ “Prospekt” specializes in the design of PES (protective enclosing structures) using the certified “Darwin” safety netting manufactured by SMZ.
Ready-made solutions for:
- Storage tanks VST (Vertical Steel Tank) with a capacity of up to 100,000 m³
- Helicopter and aircraft shelters
- Transformer substations (systems with an electrical neutral system)
Who should consider these security systems?
- Oil and gas companiesProtecting VSTs (Vertical Steel Tanks), oil depots, and pipelines from kamikaze drones is a critical task. Our easy-to-erect structures prevent fires and oil spills, safeguarding infrastructure and the environment.
- Airports and AirfieldsMinimizing interference with radio communications and ensuring runway safety are key requirements. The “Darwin” net does not interfere with equipment operation and reliably protects hangars, aircraft shelters, and fuel storage facilities from UAVs.
- Energy companiesTransformer substations and power transmission lines (ETL) require protection against the risk of short circuits. Our dielectric structures prevent such situations from occurring.
Key benefits of the “Darwin” net
- Highly effective protectionA special “spiderweb”-type polyamide weave gently absorbs the drone's kinetic energy without causing the warhead to explode
- A 5-fold reduction in costsThe lightweight design reduces installation costs compared to using metal mesh
- Full localizationAll production components are monitored in one place
- Durability5-year warranty (UV resistance, radio wave transparency)
Projects
Security systems for buildings, structures, and critical infrastructure facilities that protect them from airborne threats.
We design physical defenses for structures against kamikaze drones, FPV drones, and other UAVs in accordance with SP 542. Our solutions include physical barriers, kinetic screens, and adaptive structures that stop or redirect the threat without damaging electronic equipment.
Given the wide variety of drones (ranging from commercial quadcopters to specialized strike systems), we are developing:
SZ PROSPECT specializes in protecting critical infrastructure facilities, including command centers, fuel storage facilities, and industrial zones. Our solutions are tested under conditions that closely mimic real-world scenarios and combine:
Given the wide variety of drones (ranging from commercial quadcopters to specialized strike systems), we are developing:
- Net and mesh systems—for intercepting drones in combat zones;
- Dynamic shields are deployable structures designed to absorb impacts;
- Architectural changes — the incorporation of safety features into building designs;
- We analyze the structure’s susceptibility to shock waves and propose measures to prevent fragment damage to the structure.
SZ PROSPECT specializes in protecting critical infrastructure facilities, including command centers, fuel storage facilities, and industrial zones. Our solutions are tested under conditions that closely mimic real-world scenarios and combine:
- Strength — the use of composite materials and special-alloy steels.
- Flexibility — integration into existing infrastructure without disrupting facility operations.
According to experts, the current military conflicts and tensions are far from over.
In urban environments, it is not always possible to deploy electronic warfare or air defense systems. In such situations, mesh barriers become the last line of defense. They are always readily available and effective against all types of drones.
But it is important to understand: not all nets are the same. Not every type is truly capable of providing protection.
Our main objectives:
1 — Intercepting UAVs
2 — Minimizing the risk of a warhead explosion
That is why we have specific requirements for our nets:
— High energy absorption capacity: flexibility, strength, and lightness. To capture UAVs without triggering a warhead explosion;
— Large mesh size to prevent the contact fuse from detonating upon impact;
— Radio wave permeability to prevent radio guidance;
— Dielectric properties to prevent short circuits when protecting energy infrastructure—such as transformer substations;
— Manufactured from Russian raw materials and in Russia to avoid dependence on external factors;
— And most importantly—an affordable price so that any government agency can purchase the net.
Strangely enough, we found a good solution—the "Darwin" nets.
The results speak for themselves: in 90% of cases, UAVs caught in these nets do not explode. This is exactly what is needed to protect our cities and infrastructure facilities.
