Drone Rules for Base Naval de Natal
The airspace over and surrounding the Natal Naval Base (BNN) / Ary Parreiras Base (Alecrim, Natal, RN) is classified as a critical Strategic Maritime Logistical Hub, Active Tactical Port, and National Defense No-Fly Zone. Civilian drone flights are strictly banned across the entire shipyard infrastructure, naval docks.
The Base Naval de Natal (BNN), positioned along the banks of the Potengi River in the Alecrim district, is a critical geopolitical cornerstone for the Brazilian Navy in the country's Northeast. Subordinated to the 3rd Naval District Command (Com3ºDN), this historic installation is the operational backbone responsible for logistical support, dry-dock repairs, and maintenance of the fleet protecting Brazil's territorial blue Amazon waters and strategic transatlantic trade pathways.
The entire naval base is heavily fortified, enclosed, and patrolled 24/7 by armed Navy security units. Any civilian drone attempting to cross the base boundary or film the dry-docks without a direct military command waiver and an official, pre-vetted flight authorization filed through DECEA's SARPAS NG portal will be actively countered and downed. Operators face immediate federal arrest, equipment seizure, and harsh penalties under the Military Penal Code.
