Industrial Facility Protection Against UAVs
Industrial facilities were rarely designed with UAV-related threats in mind. At the same time, production sites, technological units, and continuous-cycle infrastructure have become some of the most vulnerable categories of facilities.
Even a small FPV drone can disable individual sections of equipment, damage engineering utilities, or interrupt part of a production process. This is especially relevant for open industrial sites, storage areas, power units, and production facilities with a high density of equipment.
SD PROSPECT specializes in the design of protective enclosing structures (PES) for industrial enterprises and critical infrastructure facilities. Each solution is developed for a specific site rather than based on a universal template.

What Typically Requires Protection
In practice, vulnerability is often concentrated not only in large industrial buildings but also around specific production areas and infrastructure elements.
Engineering assessments commonly focus on:
For operating enterprises, the possibility of carrying out work without interrupting the main production cycle is considered separately.
Engineering assessments commonly focus on:
- technological production lines
- open industrial sites
- pumping stations
- distribution nodes
- raw material storage facilities
- warehouse areas
- production buildings
- energy infrastructure and supporting facilities

Design Considerations for Operating Facilities
For industrial infrastructure, it is important not only to provide protection against UAVs but also to preserve normal facility operation.
During the design process, the following factors are considered:
In many cases, the project is developed as part of a facility modernization program.
During the design process, the following factors are considered:
- the purpose of the facility and the most likely threat model
- acceptable degree of destruction
- the level of protection required
- operational conditions
- industrial site features
- additional protection systems

Passive Protection Against FPV Drones
At some facilities, the use of active countermeasure systems is limited by production requirements, building density, or equipment operating conditions.
Under these circumstances, passive drone protection helps reduce risks without interfering with radio-electronic systems or technological processes.
The anti-drone netting systems used in the design process are selected according to operating conditions, calculated loads, and site-specific requirements.
