Anti-drone protection: installing robust structures capable of withstanding heavy snowfall and icing!

We are protecting a vital highway between two major population centers from drones. The frontline is a few dozen kilometers away — a distance that FPV drones now easily cover. The territory is classified as a zone of possible hostilities (ZPH).

Taking into account the experience of the last, highly challenging winter, all load-bearing elements have been reinforced. More powerful pipes and wire are being used. Although they are harder to work with, this guarantees that the system will withstand any weather anomaly.

Anti-drone protection masts are installed every 8 meters. The supports consist of two profile pipes: one measuring 80×4 mm with a length of 1.5 m, and another measuring 60×3 mm with a length of 7 m.

Installation stages:

Marking out the perimeter.

Driving the first pipe into the ground using a pile-driving machine.

Raising, mounting, and securely fixing the second pipe.

Driving anchors into the roadside at 4-meter intervals and connecting them to the top of the mast with guy wires.

Connecting the tops of adjacent masts with steel wire to form a single, rigid structure over the road.

The masts must be visible to drivers in the dark. Therefore, after completing the main works, we attach reflective tape to the supports.

On an 11.4 km section, we need to install nearly 3,000 anti-drone protection masts and cover them with netting. The area is dangerous, and the crew is moving at a fast pace, but we guarantee the quality of our work.
