ANTI-DRONE SOLUTIONS BY 9DEGREES
Anti-drone solutions in saudi arabia by 9degrees
OVERVIEW
9D provides advanced Anti-Drone (C-UAS) protection solutions designed to safeguard critical infrastructure and high-risk facilities from evolving aerial threats.
As an authorized partner of ANT Group, a specialized international provider of Anti-Drone protection systems, we deliver engineered solutions that ensure safety, reliability, and operational continuity.
Our Value Proposition
Our solutions focus on physical (passive) protection systems that do not rely on electronic interference, ensuring reliable performance in all environments.
System Description
passive physical protection
In response to the increasing risks posed by drones, Anti-Drone protection systems provide an advanced solution based on passive physical protection to prevent unauthorized aerial access to critical assets and facilities.
highly durable protective netting
The system is based on an engineered structural design consisting of steel frameworks and high- strength mesh systems, installed around or above protected areas to create an effective physical barrier.
It is designed to withstand the impact of high-speed and heavy drones, ensuring a high level of protection without relying on electronic interference or jamming technologies.

- Eliminates the needEliminates the need for separate structures per asset
- Optimized costOptimized cost compared to fragmented solutions
- EXTRAProtects critical interconnected assets (pipelines, pumps, platforms)
passive physical protection
The system consists of steel supports mounted on non-permanent foundations and interconnected using high-strength tension cables of 20–35 mm diameter, forming an energy- absorbing network using steel cables of 5–6 mm diameter.
sefty layer
The mesh system features cell sizes ranging from 250 × 250 mm to 500 × 500 mm, with the option to add finer protective layers ranging from 35 × 35 mm to 120 × 120 mm, depending on the threat level.
Quick assembly and disassembly
The system requires no complex civil works, allows fast installation and dismantling, and utilizes corrosion-resistant materials with optional integration of additional environmental protection systems.
System Performance & Requirements
The ANTIDRON system is designed to provide advanced protection against drone threats, including risks associated with hazardous payloads.
- Capable of stopping drones up to 400 kg at speeds reaching 200 km/h
- Maintains a safe separation distance to reduce the effects of impact or blast
- Contributes to mitigating the impact of hazardous payloads, including blast effects equivalent to up to 30 kg TNT
- Utilizes an integrated structural and mesh system to absorb and dissipate impact energy
- Prevents direct access to critical assets and limits the transfer of impact effects
