Why passive protection
Why netting?
Drone netting and vehicle cages are physical barriers. They can be considered alongside detection, operating procedures, and other protective measures. Suitability depends on the site and the proposed system.
Context
Netting has a specific job.
A physical barrier does not detect a drone or manage a response. Reviewing it alongside the other measures at a site helps clarify what the proposed system is intended to do and what remains outside its scope.
- Awareness
- Detection and information about what is happening around the site.
- Procedures
- Site operations, access control, and response planning.
- Active measures
- Other counter-drone measures suited to the site and permitted there.
- Physical barriers
- Netting around a site or asset, or a cage around a vehicle.

Project review
Before installation.
Define the area or asset, the proposed coverage, access and maintenance needs, and the site’s operating requirements. Testing and project review are needed to evaluate the proposed system. An example from another location cannot establish how a Veil system will perform.
Veil Systems is currently testing its systems. No validated protective performance is claimed on this website.
