Could your facility qualify for drone restrictions?

Unprotected airspace is a real and growing vulnerability for critical infrastructure. Drones can be used to surveil, disrupt, or threaten the facilities communities depend on most — and a standard security perimeter does nothing to stop them.

A permanent FAA-designated no-fly zone changes that. This designation establishes a legally enforceable boundary in the airspace above your facility. For operators of critical infrastructure, it can be one of the most consequential security decisions you make.

This quiz walks through about a dozen questions to help you assess whether your facility meets the preliminary eligibility criteria — before you invest time in the formal application process.
