High Value Targets
Substation power distribution and energy production facilities require state of the art perimeter safety and airspace defense against careless, clueless and criminal drone threats.
Terrorists and other opportunists pose a significant threat to refinery infrastructure. Refineries and substations are considered high-value terrorist targets because they are vital to the economy. Disruption of service to any of these facilities could have a catastrophic national impact.
UAS with specifications such as high definition cameras, “auto pilot” Global Positioning System navigation, and the ability to carry and remotely release payloads are available on the commercial market and are relatively affordable. The increasing availability and improved capabilities of small UAS enhances the potential for use in illicit operations, including surveillance, disruption, and weaponization.

Advanced security threat and intrusion detection systems are standard components for ground protection and safety, but airspace intrusion detection and alerting against drones is an unprotected vulnerability for refineries and substations.
Comprehensive airspace security solutions for refineries and substations require various components, including detection, monitoring, classification, and tracking. Security systems also need the capability of detecting the smallest of drones well before a perimeter breach.
Usually built on flat terrain with open space surrounding the perimeter, refineries and substations need to protect upstream components, process units, downstream components, and product storage.
Early Detection Radar
Fortem TrueView® radar lets you detect all activity within the protected airspace to provide early warning to refinery and substation security personnel of intrusive air traffic.
Fortem SkyDome®
Fortem SkyDome® is an airspace intrusion detection security as a service (SaaS), providing refineries and substations intelligent airspace awareness.
Fortem’s SkyDome® software platform provides real-time alerting, monitoring, and predictive analytics for data-driven decisions. It includes a rules-based reporting engine with sensor correlation for data aggregation.
SkyDome® uses TrueView’s AI-enabled detection and classification solution to provide a complete view of local airspace. When an airspace intruder is detected, SkyDome’s command center can provision appropriate response options depending on threat level.
Once an aerial threat has been identified, Fortem’s DroneHunter® F700 can be deployed for rapid and complete remediation without causing collateral damage.
