Drone Rules for Comando da Base de Apoio Logístico
The airspace over and surrounding the Base de Apoio Logístico do Exército (Ba Ap Log Ex) (Triagem, Rio de Janeiro, RJ) is classified as a strictly restricted Military Logistics and Security Zone. Civilian drone operations are entirely prohibited within this perimeter to safeguard national defense supply chains.
The Base de Apoio Logístico do Exército serves as the primary logistical nerve center for the Brazilian Army. Located in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro, this high-security military complex coordinates the supply, distribution, maintenance, and storage of essential defense materials, field gear, transportation assets, and specialized equipment for military organizations across the country.
Operating an unauthorized civilian drone near a centralized military supply and warehouse hub poses significant security vulnerabilities. These include the risk of unauthorized surveillance of strategic supply operations, tracking of logistics schedules, and potential interference with secure communication networks. Furthermore, the facility operates in close proximity to major urban transit corridors and low-altitude helicopter routes, making uncoordinated drone flights a direct hazard to aerial navigation. Under DECEA instruction ICA 100-40, this airspace is strictly protected. Any unauthorized civilian unmanned aircraft entering the area is subject to immediate electronic jamming, equipment seizure, and the operator will face federal criminal prosecution.
