俄罗斯开发无人机禁用系统保护石油设施

据路透社6月25日报道，俄罗斯国有网络安全公司Avtomatika JSC担心，该公司正在出售能够使以石油设施为目标的无人机失效的系统。在去年9月沙特石油设施遭到袭击后，这种技术在俄罗斯和国外都很受欢迎。

俄罗斯国营Rostec公司旗下的Concern Avtomatika公司本周接受彭博社采访时表示，该公司已与数家俄罗斯石油公司签署了出售其反无人机系统的协议，并正在与俄罗斯石油公司（Rosneft）和最大天然气生产商俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（Gazprom）进行谈判。

去年，无人机袭击了沙特阿拉伯的Abqaiq设施和Khurais油田，导致这个世界最大石油出口国一半的石油生产中断，突显出无人机对石油基础设施的威胁。对沙特阿拉伯主要石油基础设施的袭击，数周以来切断了全球约5%的石油供应，并导致油价飙升，尽管只持续了几天。

Kabanov对彭博社表示，俄罗斯关切的Avtomatika已经与俄罗斯石油生产商Tatneft和炼油商Slavneft-YANOS达成协议，并希望在6月与一家外国客户敲定交易。他还称，这家俄罗斯公司还在与中东、亚洲和非洲的公司谈判合同。

该负责人表示，Avtomatika公司生产的系统可以使无人机自动、半自动或与手动使无人机失效，但他没有详细说明这些系统是如何工作的。

Russia Develops Drone-Disabling Systems To Protect Oil Facilities

Russian state-controlled cybersecurity company Concern Avtomatika JSC is selling systems capable of disabling drones that target oil facilities—technology that has become sought-after in Russia and abroad after the attacks on Saudi oil facilities last September.

Concern Avtomatika, part of state-run Rostec Corporation, has signed deals with several Russian oil firms to sell them anti-drone systems and is in talks with the top oil producer Rosneft and the biggest natural gas producer Gazprom, Vladimir Kabanov, General Director at Concern Avtomatika, told Bloomberg in an interview this week.

“Energy infrastructure is basically hardly protected from any physical air attack,” Kabanov said.

Last year, drone attacks on the Abqaiq facility and the Khurais oilfield in Saudi Arabia halted half of the oil production at the world’s top oil exporter, highlighting the threat that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) can pose to oil infrastructure. The attacks on Saudi Arabia’s key oil infrastructure cut off some 5 percent of global oil supply for weeks and sent oil prices surging, albeit for just a few days.

Russia’s Concern Avtomatika already has agreements with Russian oil producer Tatneft and with refiner Slavneft-YANOS, and is looking to finalize a deal with a foreign customer in June, Kabanov told Bloomberg. The Russian firm is also negotiating contracts with Middle Eastern, Asia, and African companies, he added.

Concern Avtomatika produces systems that disable drones automatically, semi-automatically, or with an operator, the manager says, without elaborating how exactly those systems work.

The terrorist attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure have shown that drones could be a threat to companies around the world, including in Russia, Rostec Corporation’s Executive Director Oleg Yevtushenko said at the signing of Concern Avtomatika’s deal with refinery Slavneft-YANOS last month.

Yevtushenko said even amateur drones could be used for surveillance and reconnaissance or carrying explosives or other weapons. Concern Avtomatika’s anti-UAV systems use unique algorithms that do not interrupt the operation of the surrounding telecommunication systems, Rostec’s boss added.
