GDDC Guard · Counter-Drone

When the airspace becomes the weak point.

Unauthorised drones at airports, events and critical facilities are no longer a rarity. GDDC supports you personally with preparation, clarifying responsibilities and coordination — without selling products and without technical defence promises.

  • Risk analysis and scenarios for your site
  • Clear reporting and escalation channels
  • Integration with perimeter and KRITIS air surveillance
  • Documentation for resilience plans and audits
  • Coordination with authorities — active defence remains a sovereign task

Process

How GDDC supports you

  1. Initial talk & situation picture

    Your facility, existing security organisation and regulatory duties — free initial assessment.

  2. Scenarios & responsibility

    Who does what in an unauthorised overflight? Which interfaces to the control room and authorities?

  3. Concept & interfaces

    Coordination with perimeter or KRITIS air surveillance and optionally the guarding-partner model.

  4. Drill & acceptance

    Joint test run with your control room — documented for internal and official records.

Typical situations

  • Unknown overflight

    During the night shift the site reports an airspace incident — the control room needs a fixed procedure.

  • Event disruption

    Sightings pile up before a concert — organiser and stewarding must act in a coordinated way.

  • KRITIS alarm

    Critical facility under a heightened threat — reporting and documentation must be audit-proof.

  • Partner control room

    Guarding and air surveillance from a single source — roles clarified in advance, not during the emergency.

Legal framework

Legal framework in brief

  • Airspace in the resilience plan

    With the KRITIS umbrella act 2026, airspace risks belong in the risk analysis and resilience plan of critical facilities — documented and auditable.

  • Active defence

    Technical countermeasures against drones — jamming, interception, kinetic defence — are generally reserved for authorities in Germany.

  • Your scope of tasks

    Private operators focus on detection, reporting, coordination and organisational measures — not on active defence.

  • Support within the approved framework

    GDDC supports you with LUC-backed air surveillance and concept work — legally sound, without distributing defence systems.
