Project Rán
Security Architecture
Security for
Maritime Critical Infrastructure
Project Rán is a project developed by HUB67 and its partner companies for the monitoring, verification and protection of maritime critical infrastructure. The focus lies on offshore wind farms, offshore substations, subsea cables, pipelines, ports, coastal infrastructure, maritime energy assets and other facilities whose failure has significant commercial, energy-policy and security-relevant consequences.
Maritime infrastructure is difficult to access, dependent on weather conditions and at the same time of high importance for energy supply, the economy and security. Offshore wind farms do not consist merely of individual turbines, but of an overall system of energy generation, data routes, communication structures, substations, export cables, operations management and maintenance.
This very combination makes them valuable — and vulnerable. Project Rán addresses a clear question: How can anomalies be detected earlier, technically verified, documented and forwarded in an orderly manner without permanently binding personnel offshore?
The basic approach follows the chain: Detect. Verify. Document. Forward.
Sensors, maritime situational information, radar/AIS data, drone technology, optical verification, control-centre logic and structured incident processes are connected in such a way that a suspicious
event becomes a traceable basis for decision-making.
Project Rán is not an individual drone product. The project is designed as a scalable operator and security structure. The decisive factor is not only which drone, which sensor or which communication system is used. The decisive factor is how these components are integrated into a robust structure consisting of operations, control centre, data routes, documentation, maintenance, financing, regulatory assessment and cooperation with competent authorities.
A key element is rapid technical verification. Anomalies in the maritime situational picture are identified by suitable sensors and then verified by optical systems, drones or further technical
components. This reduces false alarms, enables events to be assessed more quickly and creates reliable documentation.
Another element is the control-centre logic. The control centre consolidates information, classifies events, supports defined procedures and enables an orderly handover to operators, security services, authorities or other competent bodies. Automation accelerates processes; responsibility, control and approval remain clearly regulated.
Project Rán is aimed at operators of maritime infrastructure, energy companies, industrial partners, technology partners, investors, authorities, research partners and public bodies. For operators,
protection and operational relief are at the forefront. For investors, a scalable project model emerges in a growing infrastructure market.
For technology partners, Project Rán offers the opportunity to contribute suitable systems to larger operator and security structures. For authorities and institutions, an orderly interface is created between infrastructure, technology, documentation and competent bodies.
The initial focus area of the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the United Kingdom/Ireland already comprises more than 34 GW of existing offshore wind capacity and around 68 GW of pipeline capacity. Project Rán therefore addresses not merely individual wind farms, but a growing infrastructure field consisting of assets, operator clusters, substations, service hubs, ports, control centres and maritime security areas.
Project Rán is exemplary of the way HUB67 works: technology, capital, project development, industrial implementation, institutional contacts and market access are brought together in a concrete security- and energy-relevant project.
Do you see a point of connection to Project Rán?
Then contact HUB67. We will assess whether cooperation in the areas of operator logic, technology, piloting, capital structuring, production or project development is meaningful.
