The Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) has declared all its installations “NO-FLY ZONES” for drones, warning it will take action against any unauthorised aerial activity.
“RFMF installations are ‘NO-FLY ZONES’ for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or Drones of any type,” RFMF said in a statement.
The military warned that unauthorised drone use poses a security risk.
“The unauthorised operation of drones over RFMF installations poses a potential risk to the safety and security of the RFMF.”
It urged the public to comply with existing rules.
“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.”
RFMF made it clear enforcement action will follow if needed and called for cooperation.
“The RFMF will execute counter drone measures to detect, deter and neutralise unauthorised aerial activity that may pose a security threat to RFMF personnel and infrastructure or the wider public.”
“Counter drone measures are a deterrent and are part of ongoing efforts to safeguard national security and maintain public confidence.”
“The RFMF thanks the public for its cooperation and reminds all drone operators to act responsibly, in accordance with the law.”
