Recent attacks in the Gulf highlight a new reality: low-cost drones are now strategic weapons. And this isnโt limited to battlefields in the Middle East or Ukraine.
For ODIN, which has been protecting borders and critical infrastructure across Israel and Europe over the last 2 years, one thing is clear: ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ.
What weโre seeing around critical infrastructure is no longer hobbyists flying DJI drones that are easily detected by decrypting their communication link.
Itโs:
โข Sophisticated DIY FPV drones
โข Anonymized systems designed to evade attribution
โข Adversaries using military-grade communications and tactics to surveil infrastructure
Power plants.
Transmission lines.
Desalination facilities.
Substations.

Critical infrastructure is becoming a targetable battlespace.
The good news?
Most drones rely on RF links for control, telemetry, and navigation. That creates an opportunity.
