Security in public spaces: Passive drone defense

Drones represent a growing security challenge for buildings and infrastructure. Jakob Rope Systems offers passive net structures for drone defense. Our solutions are durable and can be integrated architecturally. Developed for security-relevant applications.

Unmanned flying objects represent a growing security challenge for public and private buildings and critical infrastructure. In addition to protection against unauthorized intrusion, aspects such as protecting sensitive facilities, preserving privacy and securing digital infrastructure are increasingly becoming the focus of planning and operation.

As a developer and manufacturer of rope and net systems, Jakob Rope Systems offers passive solutions for drone defense that are specifically suited for use in civilian and security-sensitive areas. The net structures used (made of stainless steel or textile fibers) act as a physical barrier against unauthorized drones and enable effective protection with discreet integration into existing building structures.

Architectural integration instead of a technical foreign body

The drone defense solutions are designed as part of the architecture. We match the lines, geometry and mesh structure to the design language of the building on a project-specific basis.
Filigree constructions can be used to secure facades, access roads, inner courtyards or sensitive building areas without impairing the visual impact of the building.
Optional black-colored ropes and nets minimize reflections and ensure a discreet, unobtrusive appearance. The result is a security solution that provides functional protection and at the same time creates added architectural value.

Engineering for project-specific security concepts

We provide comprehensive support for projects, from concept development to engineering, manufacturing and installation. Our solutions can be adapted to different security levels, locations and structural conditions.
On request, we also provide support with test series and feasibility studies. Proven experience from other safety-relevant applications with our rope and mesh structures is incorporated into the planning process.

Long-lasting safety and low maintenance

Our stainless steel wire rope meshes are designed for permanent structures. They are characterized by high UV and weather resistance as well as excellent corrosion resistance.
Maintenance and care requirements are minimal and the service life is very long. In addition, the mesh solutions meet relevant requirements in terms of fire protection and conformity to standards. A key factor for long-term planning security.

Complementary solutions for temporary applications

In addition to stainless steel net structures, Jakob Rope Systems also offers textile rope nets for temporary applications. These solutions are lightweight, flexible and quick to install.
Textile net structures are particularly suitable for temporary safety requirements, for example at events or temporary protective measures.
