Engineering Solutions for Passive Protection of Objects from Unmanned Flying Machine
Abstract
Purpose. Research into modern approaches to organizing passive protection of critical infrastructure facilities in the field of logistics.
Method. Methods of system analysis, modeling and synthesis.
Findings: It is proven that various methods of protection can minimize the risks of damage to objects by unmanned aerial vehicles. The practical effectiveness of using anti-drone nets to protect critical transport infrastructure has been confirmed. Іt is found that a multi-layered approach to security, where multiple countermeasures work in concert, can provide more comprehensive and resilient protection against a variety of drone threats.
Theoretical implications. The work expands the theoretical foundations of passive protection of critical infrastructure facilities from unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular by installing anti-drone nets.
Practical implications. The results of the study are useful for developing new physical protection measures against drones. Sharing information about successful deployments, new threats, and technological innovations will be essential to optimizing the use of anti-drone nets and other countermeasures.
