Case Study - CRITICAL ASSETS

Port of Ashdod

Ashdod, Israel

<4 min
response to perimeter breach
3.8km
autonomous cargo delivery
10+ min
autonomous AI tracking

Challenge

One of Israel's most strategically significant maritime facilities, classified as critical national infrastructure requiring continuous readiness against a wide range of threat scenarios. The port needed to prove the operational readiness and integration potential of drone-based capabilities before committing to full deployment.

Solution

OVERWATCH led a multi-scenario proof of concept with partners FlightOps, Propeller Drones, Sentrycs and Dynamic Infrastructure - demonstrating automated breach response, continuous AI tracking of suspicious ground activities, simulated cargo delivery, AI-based structural inspection, and integrated friendly/hostile drone identification with simulated safe takeover.

Results

  • Drone airborne within seconds of alert, full situational imagery delivered shortly after
  • Sub-4-minute end-to-end response to a perimeter breach alert
  • 10+ minutes continuous fully autonomous AI tracking of suspicious ground activities - no manual piloting
  • Successful 3.8 km cargo delivery to a vessel outside the port
  • Full technical integration proven across detection, identification and mitigation systems
  • All operational success metrics defined by port security fully achieved
