Drone awareness training for companies and critical infrastructure
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a real threat to sites, operations and personnel. We make your organisation capable of acting: recognising a drone situation, assessing it correctly and responding within the law.
Why drone awareness
The number of security-relevant drone overflights above companies, public authorities and critical infrastructure is rising markedly. Espionage, disruption of operations, sabotage and the paralysis of entire sites are part of the real situational picture.
Technology alone does not protect. What counts is a team that spots a drone situation early, assesses it correctly and triggers the right reporting chain. This is exactly where our drone awareness training comes in: practical, tailored to your sites and legally grounded.
Who the training is for
We raise awareness among the people who notice a drone situation first, and give those responsible the basis for robust protection concepts.
Operators of critical infrastructure
Energy, water, transport, telecommunications and further sectors for which physical protection is becoming mandatory under the new minimum standards.
Site security and security staff
Staff at the gate, in the control room and on patrol, who are the first to notice drone activity around the site.
Security and risk owners
Corporate security, BCM and plant management, who define reporting chains and are accountable for protective measures.
What the drone awareness training teaches
The content combines situational understanding, detection and legally sound action. We match scope and depth to your sites and your level of protection.

Take our free online course
In the first module of the DroneAware course series you get to know the technical and legal fundamentals around UAVs. You learn how detection technology works and which limitations have to be taken into account.
The threat from drones has grown measurably
suspicious drone sightings were registered by German security authorities in 2025 alone.
unauthorised drone incursions disrupted operations at German airports in the first half of 2026.
we evaluate current incidents in the DroneAware situational picture and verify the sources.
Sources of the figures: reporting on drone sightings and airport disruptions in Germany. Our own DroneAware situational picture continuously collates and classifies verifiable incidents.
