Drone protection for substations & energy sites
Substations, oil & gas pipelines and solar farms sit in open, remote terrain — exactly where FPV drones can approach unchallenged. A single improvised drone can force a regional outage.
Remote, exposed assets
Grid nodes and pipeline stations are kilometers from any response team. Perimeter fences stop people, not aircraft.
FPV & fiber-optic attack drones
Anti-FPV is now a board-level word. Purpose-built FPV drones fly under radar coverage, hug terrain, and fiber-optic variants emit zero RF — invisible to jammers and RF detectors alike.
Cascading consequences
A struck transformer or compressor station means regional outages, environmental risk, and weeks of repair from equipment with months-long lead times.
How NetClear stands watch here
Every deployment is a tuned combination of sensors, interceptors and workflow integration.
Detection
- Optical (EO/IR) cameras with AI classification — day/night visual confirmation
- Acoustic arrays tuned for FPV rotor signatures, including fiber-optic variants with no RF emission
- Low-altitude radar for conventional drone tracks
- Fusion into one correlated track list per site
Response
- Net-capture interceptors that physically remove the drone without emitting interference
- No jamming near SCADA / protection relays — zero risk to your own control systems
- Automatic work-order trigger into your grid O&M workflow
Integration
Incident timelines, sensor clips and capture telemetry export straight into the reports your regulator expects.

Common questions
Can you stop fiber-optic FPV drones?+
Yes. Fiber-optic drones emit no RF signals, so jamming fails. We detect them with acoustic and optical sensors and remove them with physical net-capture interceptors — no dependence on the drone emitting anything.
Will the system interfere with substation protection relays or SCADA?+
No. NetClear's response is physical interception, not jamming. The platform emits no high-power RF at your site, so protection relays, SCADA and comms links are unaffected.
What do regulators receive after an incident?+
A complete, timestamped evidence package: fused sensor tracks, operator decisions, interceptor telemetry, and the recovered drone with payload — everything needed for a formal incident report.
