Power Station Protection
Securing nuclear, thermal, wind, and solar power generation facilities.
Power generation facilities — nuclear plants, coal and gas thermal stations, offshore wind farms, and large solar arrays — face increasing threats from drone reconnaissance and potential sabotage. A successful drone strike on a transformer, cooling system intake, or switchyard can cause cascading failures resulting in widespread blackouts affecting millions of people and causing irreversible damage to critical equipment with year-long replacement lead times.
Nuclear Plant Requirements
Nuclear facilities typically require both volumetric surveillance (airspace above the restricted exclusion zone) and ground-level perimeter monitoring. our radar systems address both requirements through software-configurable elevation coverage spanning 0°–80° in the vertical axis — the same hardware unit covers near-ground targets and high-angle aerial approaches.
Wind Farm Monitoring
Offshore and onshore wind farms present a unique technical challenge: rotating turbine blades generate powerful radar returns that can mask small drone targets. The machine-learning clutter model is trained specifically on rotating-blade interference signatures, enabling reliable drone detection in adjacent airspace — even within 200 m of an operating turbine tower.
Multi-Site Architecture
For distributed solar farm arrays covering thousands of hectares, multiple XR-RD11C (multi-panel, 10 km range) installations provide complete coverage with overlapping detection zones. All units network to a central operations centre via fibre or microwave backhaul, presenting a unified recognised air picture (RAP) to security operators.
