Drone Threat Risk Index — DTRI

The risk score for aerial threats.

DTRI quantifies drone threat exposure for any facility — a single, defensible score built from multi-modal detection research. Price the peril, prioritize the spend, and defend the decision.

Built for underwriters, risk managers, and critical-infrastructure operators.

The problem

Underwriters are pricing a peril nobody measures.

Flood has a score. Wildfire has a score. Crime has a score. Drone threat — a growing, documented source of loss at airports, energy facilities, stadiums, and data centers — has anecdotes.

The index

One number. Defensible components.

Every DTRI score is the weighted sum of five components you can audit, compare across a portfolio, and track quarter over quarter.

Component 01 · 25%

Threat likelihood

Sector base rate from the documented incident record, regional history, and the site's public profile.

Component 02 · 20%

Accessibility

Where an operator could stand: launch positions, concealment, line of sight, and the response window to the primary asset.

Component 03 · 30%

Detection gap

What the site's current sensing can and cannot detect, localize, track and classify, per threat class.

Component 04 · 20%

Consequence

Modelled loss per asset: direct damage, outage, contractual and regulatory exposure, shown as a range with the arithmetic.

Component 05 · 5%

Response shortfall

What the existing posture would do in the seconds between launch and arrival.

Who it's for

Three desks, one number.

Insurers & underwriters

A quantified input for pricing aerial-threat exposure — per facility and across a book.

Use it for: premium pricing · portfolio exposure · renewal reviews

Facility operators

Know your score before your insurer does. Prioritize security spend against the components that move it.

Use it for: budget justification · board reporting · vendor selection

Consultants & brokers

An independent, third-party index to anchor client assessments and place risk with confidence.

Use it for: client assessments · placement support · advisory work
Methodology

Built on detection research, not headlines.

DTRI is produced by Neura Defense Systems, whose multi-modal counter-drone platform is built on seven sensing modalities. The index draws on that detection research, documented incident data, and analyst review — every published score is reviewed by a human before release.

Full scoring methodology, weightings, and validation data are available to subscribers under NDA.

For brokers & underwriters

One relationship. Every facility on your book.

Drone exposure is being written into policies faster than anyone can price it. DTRI gives the people placing and pricing that coverage a defensible number — facility by facility, quarter by quarter.

Score the whole book.

Every client facility can be scored the same way — a $4,500 snapshot first, the full assessment where the exposure justifies it. One broker relationship reaches every site you place.

A number for the file.

You're being asked to price a risk with no actuarial history. DTRI puts a methodology-backed, quarter-over-quarter score in the underwriting file instead of a guess.

Research budget, not capital request.

Snapshots and reports fit existing research and loss-control budget lines — a director-level signature and a one-week turnaround, not a committee.

About ten minutes online, and most of it answers from the submission you already have — the Snapshot follows in about a week. Prefer a document? Download the Word form and return it to intelligence@droneriskindex.com.
