Maritime interdiction for defence and civilian infrastructure

Pelagon designs and deploys protection zones for naval bases, deployed forces and critical maritime infrastructure. For civilian operators, Pelagon also provides deployment and operations as a managed service.

01
Engagement

From assessment to interdiction

01 /

Survey and assess

A survey vehicle maps the seabed with sonar, revealing bathymetric contours across submerged ridges and a sandy channel.

Pelagon surveys the operating area, maps the assets to protect and assesses the threat profile.

Bathymetry and local maritime conditions shape the interdiction zone, from coastal waters to deep-sea environments.

02 /

Red teaming

Illustrative scene of a Pelagon-clad operator carrying an underwater vehicle along a quay in a Middle Eastern harbour.

Pelagon conducts maritime penetration tests, continually adapting to evolving adversary tactics and vessel capabilities.

Findings identify vulnerabilities and inform the protection plan.

03 /

Deploy, operate and maintain

Pelagon’s operational teams deploy interdiction zones alongside an international network of specialist maritime partners, combining expertise in coastal operations, subsea infrastructure and deep-sea intervention.

For civilian operators, deployment, operations and maintenance are available as a managed service.

Verify & intercept

Pelagon verifies detected contacts to distinguish threats from false alarms before interception.

Response options and modular payloads are adapted to the confirmed threat, the assets to protect and the operational mandate.

02
Mission

Ports and naval bases

Commercial ports, naval bases, approaches and anchorages

Ports and naval bases
Threat environment

Ports and naval bases combine intense underwater noise with dense maritime traffic. Vessel movements, machinery and harbour activity complicate threat identification and challenge conventional surveillance. Protecting vessels, infrastructure and access routes requires distinguishing hostile activity from routine operations while keeping the port operational.

Interdiction zone

Pelagon configures interdiction zones around harbour basins, approaches and anchorages. Surveillance, threat verification and underwater interception support port security and naval force protection.

03
Mission

Offshore energy

Oil and gas platforms, subsea cables, interconnectors and wind farms.

Offshore energy
Threat environment

Offshore energy infrastructure spans exposed surface installations and subsea networks. Distance from shore, water depth and dispersed assets complicate surveillance and intervention. Protection must account for sabotage and interference along cable routes, at landfalls and around offshore installations.

Interdiction zone

Pelagon configures interdiction zones around offshore installations and strategic sections of subsea infrastructure. Surveillance, threat verification and underwater interception support the protection of designated assets. Pelagon’s operational teams and globally leading maritime partners support deployment and maintenance across coastal and deep-sea environments.

04
Mission

Chokepoints and offshore deployments

Straits, expeditionary operations and isolated offshore sites

Chokepoints and offshore deployments
Threat environment

Maritime chokepoints concentrate vessel movements within constrained waters. Deployed forces, temporary anchorages and isolated offshore sites face underwater threats beyond the protection of established naval bases. The protection requirement changes with the area of operations and the mission.

Interdiction zone

Pelagon deploys interdiction zones around designated transit areas, anchorages and offshore positions. Surveillance, threat verification and underwater interception support force protection and maritime access. Deployment is configured for the local environment, available maritime support and operational mandate.
