UK Ofcom-Safe Drone Detection Playbook for CNI & Events

Playbook for UK airports, prisons, stadiums, and energy sites — start with passive RF detection under Ofcom / Wireless Telegraphy constraints.

🇬🇧United Kingdom export desk

UK sites — airports, prisons, stadiums, and energy infrastructure — face growing drone incursion risk. Passive detection is the most straightforward capability to deploy under UK law, since active jamming is tightly restricted.

Recommended approach for UK buyers

1. Passive RF detection firstwearable and fixed systems, no transmission

2. Layered escalation — authorized interception only with the relevant approvals

3. Documentation — end-user statements for import and dual-use clearance

Why passive detection

Detection systems identify and locate drones and operators without transmitting, avoiding Ofcom spectrum and Wireless Telegraphy Act issues that jamming raises.
