Critical-Infrastructure Operators for Structured Counter-UAS Detection Pilots

CENDEF — Central Defence Command is selecting a limited number of reference sites for structured Counter-UAS pilots with European critical-infrastructure operators.

The pilot, scoped to be deployable now:

We start with airspace detection and assessment — establishing what is actually flying over a site, building the real threat picture, and defining the proportionate protection concept. This is deliverable today, without regulatory overhang, and is the honest first step before any active-countermeasure deployment.

What the operator gains:

• Early, factual airspace situational awareness for a real site

• Direct influence on the managed-service specification, shaped around operational reality rather than a vendor's roadmap

• A bounded, low-commitment engagement with a single accountable partner

What we gain:

• A validated reference deployment and operational proof

We are looking for operators in energy, logistics and industrial infrastructure who are already weighing drone risk and want to move from concern to evidence. Selection is deliberate: a small number of sites, chosen for fit, not volume.
