Edit rules/place details on map

The airspace over and surrounding the 38th Infantry Battalion (38º BI) / Tibúrcio Fortress (Prainha, Vila Velha, ES) is classified as a critical Active Coastal Infantry Command, Historic Defense Stronghold, and National Security No-Fly Zone. Civilian drone flights are completely banned across the entire military area.

The 38º Batalhão de Infantaria (38º BI), historically known as the Batalhão Tibúrcio, is strategically situated on a prominent peninsula at the base of Morro da Penha in Prainha, Vila Velha. Sharing its territory with the historic Forte São Francisco Xavier da Barra, this active Brazilian Army installation is responsible for regional defense operations, tactical amphibious training, and maintaining internal security readiness across the state of Espírito Santo.

The entire battalion compound is highly secure, walled off, and actively guarded 24/7 by armed Army sentries and military police. Any civilian drone attempting to breach the base boundaries or record overhead imagery without an explicit military deployment mandate and direct tactical clearance processed via DECEA’s SARPAS NG portal will be actively countered. Operators face immediate federal arrest, equipment confiscation, and prosecution under national security and military penal statutes.
