Before

The Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro, located on the highly fortified Ilha das Cobras in Guanabara Bay, is the principal military shipyard and naval industrial complex of the Brazilian Navy. Operating since the 18th century, this high-security complex is responsible for building, repairing, and modernizing the nation's major surface combatants, frigates, and tactical naval vessels. The facility features massive dry docks, secret electronics laboratories, and specialized naval warehouse infrastructure. Deploying an unauthorized civilian drone near the navy's primary shipyard introduces extreme national security risks, including industrial espionage, illegal tracking of fleet maintenance schedules, and unauthorized mapping of sensitive military infrastructure. Additionally, the island sits directly under busy low-altitude commercial and military helicopter corridors traversing downtown Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara Bay. Under DECEA instruction ICA 100-40, this airspace is heavily protected by electronic defense networks. Any unauthorized drone entering the zone will be immediately neutralized via signal jamming, the equipment will be confiscated, and the operator will face severe federal criminal prosecution.
