Design and Fabrication of Anti-Drone System with Interdiction Method

Abstract: In recent years, drones have undergone tremendous development. Due to low price and ease of use, drones have been widely utilized in many application scenarios, which potentially pose great threats to public security and personal privacy. To mitigate these threats, it is necessary to deploy an anti-drone system in the sensitive area to detect, localize and defend against the intruding drones. In this paper, a comprehensive technology utilized for drone surveillance implemented to the existing anti drone systems. A counter drone system includes a cueing sensor to detect the presence of an object wherein the cueing sensor cues the presence of a target drone. A long-range LIDAR system having a sensor pointed in a direction of the target drone to acquire and track at long range the target drone to provide an accurate location of the target drone. The motion of the target drone used to maintain the track of the target drone and a threat detector. The LIDAR data augmented to determine the target drone.
