Applications
Static drone recovery nets
A suspended recovery net allows UAVs to land safely without a runway - the drone flies into the net at low speed, which absorbs the impact and brings it to a controlled stop. This enables drone operations in confined spaces, on ships, or in forward operating locations where a prepared landing strip is not available.
The low weight and small pack size of Dyneema® netting makes the entire recovery system easy to transport and rapid to set up. The net maintains its shape and weight in rain, snow or sea spray - critical for consistent recovery geometry - and holds up to repeated impact loads without degrading. Because the netting is durable enough to absorb repeated impact loads without added stress on its structure, it keeps performing in the same way in wet, cold, or windy weather, recovery after recovery. A net that has to work through storms, salt spray, and a whole season of hard use also needs to resist tear and abrasion without exception, which is exactly the kind of long-term performance this netting is built to deliver.
Overhead area protection
Nets suspended over trenches, open storage, vehicle parks, or personnel areas provide passive protection against FPV drones, loitering munitions, and dropped ordnance. The net either snags and deflects an incoming threat or disrupts the flight path enough to prevent a direct hit on the target below.
Dyneema® netting covers large areas at a fraction of the weight of conventional netting - making it viable to protect broader zones with the same logistics footprint. The reduced twine diameter also means less wind loading, so large overhead spans are more stable in exposed locations. Because the net needs less maintenance and holds up longer than heavier alternatives, the lower running costs add up to real money saved over the life of the installation.
Payload carrying under drones
Cargo nets slung beneath a drone allow equipment, supplies, or materials to be transported without a rigid container. Weight is the critical constraint for drone payloads, and a Dyneema® net adds minimal mass of its own leaving maximum capacity for the cargo itself.
The small twine diameter reduces aerodynamic drag, which improves the stability of the suspended load during flight and lowers power consumption on the drone platform. Every cargo net is developed from the same high-grade Dyneema® fibre used throughout our product range, so drone teams get a lighter, more stable payload solution that improves productivity on site. Because a small crew can create and deploy this kind of net without extra lifting equipment, running it is typically cheaper than a heavier, more labour-intensive alternative.
