Use Cases

Security drones for border surveillance in Qatar

Security & Border Surveillance Drones in Qatar

Microavia Drone‑in‑a‑Box systems can deliver uninterrupted aerial monitoring for Qatar’s border and perimeter security needs. Each station houses an autonomous drone capable of launching, landing, and recharging without manual intervention. Designed to withstand Qatar’s climate, these surveillance drones cover wide areas with real‑time video and data.

Through centralized software, operators can schedule patrols, define geofences, and receive instant alerts. Live feeds and telemetry integrate with existing security platforms, enabling border teams to detect, track, and respond to activity faster and with fewer resources.

Border Protection: AI‑Powered Surveillance with UAV Stations
For border security, autonomous UAVs are deployed from weather‑resistant docking stations that support continuous, unattended operation. Each station enables automated launch, landing, and rapid robotized battery swaps. This allows border surveillance with patrolling extensive land and maritime boundaries, stream live video feeds, and integrate with command‑and‑control systems for round‑the‑clock coverage.

AI-Driven 24/7 Security Monitoring with Drones 
Microavia’s AI-powered UAV solutions provide: 
  • AI Computer Vision — to detect and classify bjects, intrusions, or anomalies in real time.
  • Predictive Analytics — to anticipate risks and equipment issues before they escalate.
Drone inspections for LNG terminals and utilities in Qatar

Drone‑in‑a‑Box for LNG, Ports & Utilities in Qatar

Autonomous drones are increasingly used in Qatar for monitoring LNG terminals, ports, oil and gas facilities, and other industrial hubs. Microavia drone-in-a-box systems can deliver real‑time video, thermal imaging, and AI‑based detection across large, complex sites in the sector.  

UAVs for Oil, Gas & LNG Terminals in Qatar
As one of the world’s largest LNG exporters, Qatar can deploy UAVs in the oil and gas sector for:
  • automated inspection of LNG tanks, flare stacks, and pipelines;
  • 24/7 surveillance of restricted industrial zones;
  • environmental monitoring, including methane and emissions detection with thermal infrared imaging;
  • reducing risks to personnel by replacing manual inspections in hazardous areas.
Drones for Port & Airport Security in Qatar
Qatar’s port and international airport are critical gateways for trade and travel. Both are designated high‑security zones under QCAA regulations. Drones authorized for use in these areas can:
  • monitor perimeters, cargo yards, and restricted airspace in real time;
  • detect and track unauthorized incursions, complementing counter‑UAS systems;
  • provide live video feeds to command centers for faster incident response;
  • support compliance with international aviation and maritime safety standards. 
Autonomous Drones for Power & Water Utilities
Qatar’s utilities sector — covering electricity, desalination, and water distribution — relies on critical infrastructure that must be continuously monitored. UAVs can be deployed for inspection and surveying of power lines, substations, and water facilities.
Drone‑in‑a‑Box systems provide:
  • automated inspection of power lines, substations, and pipelines;
  • monitoring of water treatment and desalination plants;
  • real‑time anomaly detection and perimeter patrols for critical infrastructure;
  • integration with national security systems for resilience.
By combining autonomous operations with AI‑driven analytics, drones can help Qatar’s LNG, port, and utility sectors achieve safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations.
Smart city drones for Doha and Lusail projects

Smart City Drone Applications in Doha & Lusail

Autonomous drones are well‑suited for monitoring Qatar National Vision 2030 projects such as Lusail Smart City, Msheireb Downtown Doha, and other large‑scale urban developments. They can deliver continuous aerial observation, automated inspections, and integration with existing infrastructure management platforms.

Drone‑in‑a‑Box systems can be scheduled for routine patrols, triggered by alerts from external sensors, and provide high‑resolution EO/IR imaging for security, construction progress tracking, and environmental monitoring across megaprojects in Doha and Lusail.

Telecom Towers and Networks: AI‑Powered UAV Surveillance in Qatar
In Doha, drones for traffic management can be an essential part of smart city mobility strategies, providing real‑time aerial monitoring to complement ground‑based cameras and patrols. 

Equipped with high‑resolution imaging and AI analytics, UAV solutions can help authorities detect violations, monitor congestion, and respond quickly to incidents across busy urban corridors of Qatar. 

By integrating live drone feeds into centralized traffic control systems, operators gain a broader situational awareness that supports smoother traffic flow and road safety. This contributes to the long‑term goals of Qatar’s smart mobility initiatives under the National Vision 2030.

Smart City UAVs for Lusail and Doha Megaprojects
Drone-in-a-Box systems are capable of construction oversight and urban development in smart cities such as Lusail and Doha megaprojects. Their construction monitoring reduces reliance on manual surveys, improves accuracy in reporting, and allows project managers to detect delays or structural issues early. They can also provide progress tracking, safety inspections, and quality control across vast construction sites day and night.
