Oil & Gas Infrastructure
Protecting pipelines, refineries, and offshore platforms from aerial threats.
Oil and gas infrastructure represents some of the highest-value and most strategically sensitive fixed assets in any economy. Drone-based reconnaissance missions against refineries, LNG terminals, and pipeline compression stations have been documented globally. Beyond reconnaissance, modified drones carrying incendiary or fragmentation payloads can trigger catastrophic fires, explosions, and environmental disasters — as demonstrated in recent high-profile infrastructure attacks.
Key Scenarios
Refineries & LNG terminals: Dense pipe structures and process columns require radars with fine range resolution to separate close-in drone targets from static metallic pipe returns. XR series radars with ≤15 m range resolution address this challenge reliably, even in complex clutter environments.
Pipeline surveillance: Linear infrastructure stretching hundreds of kilometres requires distributed radar nodes. The low-power XR-RD06A (≤200W) operates on solar power with battery backup along remote pipeline routes, with data backhaul via satellite modem or mesh radio network to a central operations centre.
Offshore platforms: Salt-spray resistance to IP66 standards and extreme temperature tolerance (−40°C to +55°C) are non-negotiable for open-ocean deployments. XR-RD07 and XR-RD08 series are designed for permanent outdoor installation on platform superstructures without additional environmental enclosures.
