Protect operating continuity
Give the security desk current track information before deciding whether an observation affects a process area, transfer operation or occupied worksite.

Airspace awareness.
Drone detection for refineries, LNG terminals, production sites and mines. Connect sprawling facilities and remote operations to a common intelligence and response workflow.
THE OPERATING ENVIRONMENTDifferent sites.
Different sites.
Different operating realities.
A refinery has dense process structures and contractor activity. An LNG terminal adds a waterfront and vessel movements. A mine changes as extraction progresses, while pipeline infrastructure spreads the monitoring problem across distant locations. These environments need a site-specific sensing plan rather than a single advertised coverage radius.
They also use drones productively. Inspection, surveying and mapping flights should be understood alongside unfamiliar activity. AirSentinel helps security teams see supported aircraft, compare available identifiers and review repeated approaches without treating every flight as an operational emergency.
MISSION PRIORITIESWhat the team
What the team
needs to know.
Coordinate contractor flights
Relate known aircraft to the day’s approved inspection or survey activity. An identifier helps orient the operator; it does not replace the work authorization.
Connect a distributed estate
Review recurring aircraft observations across participating facilities. Shared context can support regional security teams and local site managers alike.
DEPLOYMENT DESIGNDesign for the site.
Design for the site.
Validate in the field.
Survey tanks, towers, buildings and terrain before selecting locations. An elevated receiver may see distant aircraft yet still have screened areas close to structures. Remote antennas and multiple sensor positions can address site geometry; actual performance should be demonstrated along representative flight paths.
Specify power, backhaul and maintenance access for each location. AMS supports PoE and cloud or local API access. Where the operating plan needs broader sensing, integrate Echodyne radar and optical systems with suitable views of the protected area. Offshore and hazardous-area installations require an engineering review of the proposed equipment and mounting location; ordinary outdoor equipment should not be assumed to carry hazardous-location certification.

From observation
to coordinated action.
Prepare the shift
Identify expected survey and inspection flights, sensitive work areas and the team responsible for monitoring.
Assess the approach
Review a detected aircraft’s movement relative to the relevant asset and examine available identity and history.
Share the event
Provide the local security team and authorized partners with the same flight context and source-dependent ground location.
Review across sites
Compare repeat observations and update coverage or notifications as the facility and its operating schedule change.

Connect the intelligence.
Atlas can sit alongside the enterprise security platform, accept compatible third-party sensor inputs and supply configured fused data to another C2. A local AMS API also supports integration at the site. Define the path from the instrumented location to the regional operations center, including who sees stale or interrupted data and how the site handles a connectivity outage.

INDUSTRY QUESTIONS
Details worth resolving.
Can one sensor cover an entire industrial site?
That depends on the geometry and required coverage. Wide-area reception does not guarantee persistent visibility behind structures or across terrain. Use a site survey and representative flights to determine the design.
Can the system support offshore or remote facilities?
Discuss the location, environmental requirements, power and network conditions with AirSentinel. Hardware selection and installation must match the site; no marine or hazardous-area certification should be assumed without confirmation.
FROM THE FIELD

A manufacturing operator uses multiple sensors to support awareness around its own drone operations and identify unapproved third-party activity.
