Use Cases
Security and Perimeter Drone Surveillance and Protection
Germany is expanding UAV surveillance to protect energy grids, industrial clusters, port zones, and military installations — areas that continue to face unauthorized drone incursions and rising security pressures.
Microavia’s AI-powered drones can provide automated detection, classification, and continuous monitoring across KRITIS sites.
Microavia’s AI-powered drones can provide automated detection, classification, and continuous monitoring across KRITIS sites.
Solutions from Microavia Drone-in-a-Box systems:
- automated detection of unauthorized objects and intrusions — EO/IR payload with 30× optical zoom and thermal detection (792 m for humans, 2,428 m for vehicles) plus AI-powered classification of ≥10 targets simultaneously supports critical sites facing incursions;
- persistent perimeter sweeps — 60-minute flights, a 15 km autonomous radius, and robotic 2-minute battery swaps per drone provide 98% uptime around naval bases, refineries, chemical parks, logistics corridors, and other critical zones;
- reliable operations in harsh conditions — dustproof, water-resistant airframes with −35°C to +55°C tolerance and 15 m/s wind resistance can cover diverse climates, from North Sea installations to Ruhr industrial zones;
- compliance with German airspace rules — UTM-based geofencing, airspace visualization, and automated alerts align with national efforts to address regulatory and technical gaps in drone defense;
- secure multi-agency coordination — encrypted links, role-based access, centralized storage, and historical replay support Bundeswehr, BAMAD, and police agencies with joint oversight and auditability.
How Microavia Drone-in-a-Box technology can assist:
- railway sabotage and trespass detection — drones monitor tracks, bridges, and stations, flagging obstructions or unauthorized access;
- airport and urban airspace protection — geofencing and dynamic mission response strengthen monitoring around airports and dense urban hubs, providing fast alerts during airspace violations;
- immediate situational awareness for responders — live encrypted video and telemetry deliver real-time data to police and emergency services; drones can auto-launch from alarms (fire, intrusion, thermal anomalies, flood, etc.);
- continuous patrol capability — weatherproof docking stations maintain 24/7 monitoring of public spaces, transport corridors, and event venues—even during storms, extreme temperatures, or low visibility;
- transparency and accountability — role-based access and secure mission replay support incident reconstruction, compliance checks, and collaboration across federal, state, and municipal agencies.
Industrial, Logistics and Port Infrastructure Drone Inspection
Microavia Drone‑in‑a‑Box systems map directly onto Germany’s industrial and port priorities: their long endurance, precision sensors, 2-minute autonomous battery swaps, and UTM features support continuous perimeter surveillance, cargo‑flow visibility, and targeted asset inspections that address documented congestion, cargo‑theft, and energy‑driven manufacturing pressures.
Solutions from Microavia Drone-in-a-Box/UAV systems:
- logistics yard and intermodal monitoring — drones track inbound/outbound truck movements and container handovers between factories and nearby terminals, reducing dwell times and supporting just-in-time workflows under strained supply conditions;
- energy-focused asset monitoring — frequent UAV thermal surveys of boilers, substations, and CHP units help manufacturers detect inefficiencies or leaks, supporting energy optimisation and operational continuity during constrained supply conditions;
- targeted inspections to reduce downtime — fast and thorough inspection of furnaces, transformers, and production lines, for predictive maintenance and reducing costly stoppages amid rising energy costs and supply pressures;
- perimeter security and access control — preventing intrusions, protecting high-value sites, intellectual property, and production continuity in industrial clusters;
- compliance and post-incident analysis — centralized storage and historical replay provide audit trails for safety events, equipment failures, and security breaches, supporting regulatory compliance and resilience planning.
Solutions from Microavia Drone-in-a-Box/UAV systems:
- real‑time berth and anchorage monitoring — oversight of vessel queuing, berth occupancy, and anchor‑area build‑ups from a single dock, complementing port traffic platforms at hubs like Hamburg;
- container yard and landside perimeter security — inspection of container stacks and access gates for tampering or unauthorized movement, supporting digital container‑release systems and anti-theft initiatives being rolled out across German ports;
- cargo‑theft deterrence and incident capture — AI recognition of ≥10 simultaneous targets, combined with centralized encrypted storage, generates immediate alerts and secure audit trails, countering sophisticated cargo crime and insider-enabled theft;
- safety oversight — thermal sensors and anomaly detection quickly identify fires, overheating containers, or fuel/oil spills on quaysides, feeding real-time alerts into port control rooms to support compliance with evolving security and environmental regulations;
- operational resilience during peak periods — autonomous 2‑minute battery swaps and 98% uptime maintain continuous coverage during high-throughput operations or IT/terminal transitions, helping ports manage bottlenecks and crane/IT changeovers.
Energy, Rail and Environmental Drone Monitoring
Microavia supports Germany’s key energy, rail, and environmental needs, from electricity restructuring and renewable integration to rail modernization and improvements in water quality and climate‑adaptation measures.
- targeted inspections of blades and nacelles — EO/IR imaging detects cracks, lightning damage, and overheating. RTK geotagging (20 mm) locates faults and reduces downtime across Germany’s wind and solar fleet;
- energy-focused monitoring of renewable assets — thermal surveys detect inefficiencies, leaks, or inverter failures. Operators can prioritise repairs and optimise output as Germany accelerates its Energiewende;
- resilient operations in offshore and onshore environments — dustproof, water‑resistant design with −35°C to +55°C range and 15 m/s wind resistance supports inspections in North Sea and Baltic conditions. 60‑minute flight time and 2‑minute battery swaps keep O&M cycles continuous;
- compliance and auditability of inspection data — centralised storage, historical replay, and UTM planning provide verifiable records. Supports TÜV-style certification and regulatory compliance.
- infrastructure integrity checks along rail corridors — EO/IR imaging with AI detection and RTK 20 mm accuracy monitors tracks, bridges, and overhead lines, supporting Deutsche Bahn’s drone inspections and reducing service disruptions;
- trespass and obstruction detection for public safety — thermal sensors detect persons up to 792 m and threats at 198 m. Encrypted streaming and UTM alerts provide real-time situational awareness to control centres;
- integrated monitoring for smart-city resilience — centralised control, API integration, and multi-user access merge drone feeds with municipal systems for traffic, flood, and event management, supporting smart-city initiatives;
- continuous patrols across seasons and weather conditions — weatherproof hardware, autonomous docking, and automated pre-flight checks maintain 24/7 patrols and emergency launches. Historical replay provides accountability and supports regulatory reporting.
