GCC Energy Infrastructure Protection: Aerostats, Coastal Surveillance, C-UAS

The physical protection of Gulf oil and gas infrastructure from military attack, covering defenses for pipelines, processing plants, export terminals and ports, coastal and aerial surveillance, counter-drone protection, and resilience planning after strikes on energy facilities.

Wartime strikes on Aramco's Ras Tanura terminal and Abqaiq complex, the 10 September attacks on the East-West Pipeline (Petroline) and Yanbu, ADNOC's Fujairah corridor, QatarEnergy's Ras Laffan and the Port of Salalah have made critical-infrastructure protection a Tier-1 procurement priority.

This topic page tracks Aramco's Petroline restart and protection measures, the UAE's West-East pipeline resilience review and Fujairah continuity planning, the UAE's naval funding shift toward mine countermeasures and port defense, Saudi Aramco-Saab coastal surveillance, ADNOC's Leonardo asset-protection talks, KPC's 2026 protection strategy, RBAT's role protecting Ras Laffan, and rapid-deployment C-UAS bids for LNG terminals from D-Fend Solutions, Sentrycs and Blighter, plus Qatari and Emirati aerostat programs.

Built for infrastructure-protection vendors, sensor and aerostat OEMs and energy-defense integrators.
