This is how Security Airline's Security Dome works

Drones pose a growing threat to companies, authorities and operators of sensitive areas. Illicit drone flights are increasingly used for spying, sabotage or used to scout out security gaps. Particularly affected are critical infrastructure, airports, IT centers, correctional facilities, hotels and large industrial areas.

A professional airspace monitoring It is therefore a central part of modern safety concepts today. The Security Dome by Security Airline offers a legally secure, low-escalating solution for drone monitoring and drone detection — especially for urban areas and highly sensitive zones.

Why drone detection is essential today

Drones are small, quiet and inexpensive — and that is exactly why they are difficult to detect. Without a powerful anti-drone system Many incidents remain unnoticed for a long time or cannot be prevented in time.

Typical risks posed by drones

  • Spying on production plants and IT infrastructure

  • Espionage at waterworks, energy plants or authorities

  • Flight disruptions at airports and aerodromes

  • Smuggling prohibited objects (e.g. into correctional facilities)

  • Preparation of acts of sabotage

The consequences range from Business interruptions and Image damage up to massive economic losses.

This is how airspace security works with the Security Dome

The Security Dome combines technical drone detection, automated processes and a VdS-certified control center for a holistic security concept — without dangerous escalation.

1. Installing the drone detection system

A detection device for drones is installed on the roof or at strategically relevant points and constantly monitors the defined airspace.

2. Launch of an enemy drone

An offender launches a drone, for example to spy on critical infrastructure, an airport or an industrial area.

3. Detection of drone and pilot

The system recognizes:

  • The drone

  • the radio connection

  • the location of the pilot

The Security Dome thus offers a significantly expanded drone monitoring compared to traditional systems.

4. Alerting the control center

All data runs in Flight Automation Center together. An alarm is automatically triggered in the VdS-certified control center.

5. Use of an anti-drone drone

One anti-drone drone starts autonomously and flies specifically to the perpetrator — without jamming and without the risk of a drone crash.

6. De-escalation via megaphone

The perpetrator is addressed directly:

  • “Land the drone immediately! ”

  • “Lie down! ”

The situation is controlled, documented and resolved in a legally secure manner.

7. Arrest by emergency personnel

Emergency services are led to the perpetrator in a coordinated manner and arrest him on site.

Differentiation from conventional anti-drone systems

Many well-known systems — such as from Dedrone or comparable manufacturers — are primarily based on Detection and jamming. This method involves significant risks:

  • Uncontrolled drone crash

  • Danger to people, buildings and vehicles

  • High liability and insurance risks

  • Often not permitted in urban areas and at airports

While military solutions are highly effective, they may not used outside military scenarios.

The Security Dome therefore deliberately pursues a civilian approach with low escalation level.

Damage and subsequent damage due to drone attacks

Direct damage

  • Industrial espionage and data theft

  • Sabotage of technical systems

  • Security and system failures

Consequential damage — airport case study

A well-known example is the incident on London Gatwick Airport:
An illegal drone in airspace led to the complete closure of the airport. The consequences:

  • roundly 1,000 flight cancellations

  • massive disruptions for passengers and airlines

  • economic damage of around 58 million euros

This example impressively shows what effects a single drone can have — in particular on Airports and airfields.

Further consequences:

  • Production and plant shutdowns

  • Image damage and loss of trust

  • Contractual penalties and liability claims

  • Long-term security and approval issues

Which industries is the Security Dome suitable for?

The Security Dome is ideal for:

  • critical infrastructure (water, energy, transport)

  • Airports and airfields

  • IT centers and data centers

  • correctional facilities

  • Hotels and event locations

  • Industrial areas and logistics areas

Wherever reliable drone monitoring, drone detection and a professional anti-drone system are required.

Conclusion: airspace security without escalation

The Security Dome by Security Airline stands for a new generation of drone defense:
legally secure, de-escalating and as full-service model can be booked with a VdS-certified control center.

No complaints, no crashing drones, no unnecessary risks — just maximum control over your own airspace.

Protect your airspace before failures or millions of dollars in damage occur.
