Why do we need a drone detection system? A drone detection is necessary to protect critical infrastructures against malicious UAV attacks. Now a days drones have become smaller and cheaper. Any terrorist organization can acquire a drone and can attack critical infrastructures like an airport, a military or a police base, an oil or a nuclear power station.
Modern battlefields such as the war in Ukraine or the Armenia/Azerbaijan war showed the importance of having a drone detection system. Furthermore, it also helps to protect against privacy invasions.
The existing drone detection systems include radar or lidar system, visual, acoustic system and an RF based system.
There are many benefits of an RF based detection systems over other detection systems. For example, it can work passively, it does not depend on daylight or weather conditions, it can work on non-line of sight conditions, and it has a longer detection range.
The only limitation is that if an autonomous drone does not transmit any RF signal, the detection will not work. |
