Detection and Containment

measures to protect reserved and security areas against irregular, unknown and malicious drones

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the possibilities of using means of defense against irregular, unknown and malicious drones that, flying over heritage installations considered reserved and security areas, could put the organic security and safety of these areas at risk; looming large over the principles of Aerospace Power and considering latent legal-normative provisions. As a guiding methodological assumption, research of an exploratory nature was used, with a focus on the qualitative approach, seeking to understand the information collected not only through empirical observation on the subject, but, above all, through technical, normative and doctrinal foundations on the theme. Although it is a viable technological solution for combating unwanted drones, significant factors such as operational cost and methods of using the equipment must be taken into account. The need to detect and contain unmanned aerial threats is highlighted, as well as the possibilities of implementing these mitigating measures and, likewise, the indispensability of discussions regarding assessments, by regulatory bodies, of the possible impacts on manned aviation due to inappropriate use or failure to use these tools.
