THE BACKGROUND
Drones are becoming a
security-related factor
for KRITIS operators
Drones open up new possibilities for inspection, surveillance, and reconnaissance. At the same time, unknown or unauthorized flight activity can endanger sensitive facilities and disrupt operations. This presents a key challenge for those in charge: They must be able to identify what is happening in low-altitude airspace, distinguish between known and unknown activities, and make quick, well-informed decisions when unusual activity is detected.
83 %
already view drones as a threat to their organization, or expect them to do so in the future.*
More than half
reports unauthorized or safety-related drone flights.*
Just under 50%
has not yet implemented any measures for drone detection.*
* The survey results also show that sabotage and operational disruptions dominate risk perceptions, and that reliability, early detection, and compliance are key requirements for future solutions.
THE CHALLENGE
SECURITY DOES NOT COME FROM INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF DATA IN THE SYSTEMS
A detected drone is initially just a signal. To make a reliable assessment, its actual activities must be linked to known missions, air situation data, and the site’s operational procedures.
Lack of Transparency in "
"
It is not possible to reliably determine which aircraft movements are taking place over the site or what their purpose is.
Unclear Risk Assessment for "
"
It is not possible to distinguish quickly enough between known, authorized, and unknown drone activities
-Isolated Systems
Detection, flight planning, air situation data, and existing safety systems provide separate pieces of information.
e Action Processes Are Missing
Responsibilities, alert procedures, and actions to be taken in the event of suspicious activity are not sufficiently defined.
Complex Drone Operations at
Conducting operations requires appropriate technology, operational plans, permits, and safe procedures.
Lack of "
" Skills
Employees need technical, regulatory, and practical qualifications to operate drones safely.
Therefore, it is not just a matter of detecting a drone
.
What matters is understanding the situation and being able to act safely.
THE DRONIQ PORTFOLIO
TWO KEY AREAS OF FOCUS.
ONE COMMON GOAL:
SECURE OPERATIONAL PROCESSES
THE CHALLENGE
RECOGNITION ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH
A detected drone is initially just a technical signal. To make a reliable assessment, flight movements must be categorized, compared with known missions, and integrated into existing security and operational processes. It is not just a matter of detecting a drone. What matters is understanding the situation and being able to act safely.
THE DRONIQ PRINCIPLE
RECOGNIZE. UNDERSTAND. ACT.
Recognize:
Know what's actually flying
Droniq identifies known and unknown drone activities and provides relevant flight data for further analysis.
Understanding:
How to Properly Assess Flight Activity
Detected activities are cross-referenced with known missions and other air situation information. This makes it possible to determine whether a flight is expected, suspicious, or unknown.
Action:
—Transforming information into secure processes
Droniq provides support for integration into control centers and security systems, as well as for operational concepts, permits, certification, and day-to-day operations.

DRONIQ IN PRACTICE
Informed Decisions
for Low-Altitude Airspace
Drone activity over critical infrastructure must not only be detected but also properly assessed. To this end, Droniq combines information about known missions, drones that have actually been detected, and other air traffic to provide a reliable basis for decision-making.
With solutions for drone detection, flight management, and situational awareness, as well as consulting and training, Droniq helps operators take a holistic approach to technical and organizational requirements.

How do you get started on a KRITIS project with Droniq?
Why is airspace transparency important for critical infrastructure?
The increase in drone traffic creates new opportunities, but at the same time raises the bar for safety and situational awareness. Operators of critical infrastructure must be able to identify which activities are taking place in airspace, which of these are known, and where there may be a need for action.
Not every drone poses a security risk. Why should I still take action?
Detecting a drone does not automatically mean there is a threat. The key is the ability to distinguish between known and authorized activities and unknown or suspicious events. Only then can situations be assessed in an informed manner.
How does Droniq support operators of critical infrastructure?
Droniq integrates flight management, drone detection, and air situation information into a unified situational picture. This provides transparency regarding which activities are known and authorized, which are actually taking place, and where action is needed.
For which KRITIS sectors is this solution suitable?
Droniq supports operators in sectors such as energy supply, water management, telecommunications, industry, transportation, and logistics, among others. The solution is particularly relevant in situations where transparency regarding activities in airspace is required.
What is the difference between flight management and drone detection?
Flight management provides transparency regarding known and authorized activities. Drone detection reveals actual activities. Only by combining these two types of information is it possible to make an informed assessment of the situation.
What role does the air situation play?
Air situation information helps put activities in low-altitude airspace into the proper context. This allows risks to be better assessed and decisions to be made on a more informed basis.
How does Droniq help set up a professional drone operation?
In addition to technology, Droniq also provides support with certification, permits, and regulatory requirements. This includes, among other things, training, SORA risk assessments, operating permits, and BVLOS plans.
Do organizations need their own drones to use this solution?
Not necessarily. Depending on the specific application, different components can be combined—ranging from airspace transparency and drone detection to professional drone programs and automated missions.
How can I figure out which solution makes sense for my location?
The requirements vary depending on the KRITIS sector, location, and security level. During a consultation, we work with you to analyze your current situation and identify which measures and solutions offer the greatest value.
