The drone is without a doubt the prime disruptive technology of the contemporary security landscape. Its coming of age on the battlefield and its relatively easy availability have made it into a very credible risk vector and any serious security strategy must give it due consideration.
The drone’s main ability is as a delivery vehicle – and whether this is a payload, contraband or onboard surveillance capability – denying drones physical access to a site is the best interdiction.
From a military perspective, Iran’s Shahed drones have proven the easiest to stop with barriers. Their low angle of attack and slow speed make high fences a legitimate mitigation against their attacks.
With valuable infrastructure under threat from drone attacks and the ongoing development of both commercial and military versions of the drone systems, perimeters need to be hardened to mitigate against such attacks.
Designed in collaboration with the Oil & Gas industry, Cochrane’s Anti-Drone barrier is specifically designed to mitigate low angle loitering suicide drones such as the Shahed 136, which due to their low cost are commonly used against infrastructure in large numbers that easily overwhelm anti-air counter-measures. The Anti-Drone Barrier is a permanent physical impediment to the slow, low-flying Shahed.
