Risk Assessment of Terrorist Attacks on Fuel and Energy Facilities Using UAVs: Analysis of Foreign Experience Based on Open Sources
EDN: GKCOYW
Abstract
The article presents an analysis of scientific research data, statistical and analytical materials regarding countering the risks of terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure facilities of the fuel and energy complex using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The authors identify the characteristic features of terrorist threats using UAVs against oil and gas industry facilities, structure the international experience of anti-terrorist protection of fuel and energy complex facilities, and analyze the practical experience of China, Indonesia, Israel, and the United States in this area.
The results of the study allowed the authors to identify trends and prospects for the development of anti-terrorist protection systems for fuel and energy facilities from attacks using UAVs, and also allowed them to propose a methodology for determining the risk of emergencies caused by terrorist acts using UAVs in an integrated approach to risk assessment and man-made disaster risk management.
