Drone Rules for Administrative base of the Special Operations Command
Critical No-Fly Zone covering the Special Operations Command Administrative Base (BAdmCOpEsp). All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to eliminate severe security risks involving military counter-terrorism units, strategic army defense assets, and tactical helicopter maneuvers.
The Special Operations Command Administrative Base (BAdmCOpEsp), located on Avenida Salvador in the Jardim Guanabara neighborhood of Goiânia, Goiás, is the highly secure headquarters for the Brazilian Army's elite Special Operations Command (Copesp). This critical military installation houses specialized units, including the 1st Special Forces Battalion, the 1st Commando Action Battalion, and the 1st Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense Battalion. The facility frequently conducts highly classified tactical training, domestic security operations, and rotary-wing (helicopter) tactical deployments.
The airspace surrounding this base is subject to stringent security protocols due to the strategic nature of the personnel and assets stationed within. Drones operating over or near this facility present not only a physical collision hazard to low-flying tactical military helicopters but also a severe national security and surveillance violation. Uncoordinated drone operations within the base perimeter, its tactical training sectors, or its strictly regulated defensive airspace corridors are completely illegal and aggressively penalized under federal and military law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
