Following earlier security breaches at the Republic of Fiji Military Forces facilities in Nabua and Lautoka, the RFMF now advises the public that RFMF installations are "No Fly Zones" for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or Drones of any type.
Chief of Staff RFMF, Brigadier General Sapenafa Motufaga says the unauthorized operation of drones over RFMF installations poses a potential risk to the safety and security of the RFMF.
The public is strongly advised to refrain from flying drones over restricted areas such as military installations, as detailed in the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji Regulations.
The RFMF says it will execute counter drone measures to detect, deter and neutralize unauthorized aerial activity that may pose a security threat to RFMF personnel and infrastructure or the wider public.
They say counter drone measures are a deterrent and are part of ongoing efforts to safeguard national security and maintain public confidence.
