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.
AI-powered drones can provide automated detection, classification, and continuous monitoring across KRITIS sites.
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.

Energy, Rail and Environmental Drone Monitoring
UAVs support Germany’s key energy and rail priorities, spanning perimeter security, electricity restructuring, renewable integration, and rail modernization. They support environmental objectives such as water-quality monitoring and climate adaptation.
In rail operations, UAVs reduce inspection time and costs by covering more tracks with fewer personnel than traditional methods.

- 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.
- 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;
- 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;
- 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;
- 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.
