Detection and Surveillance of UAVs Based on RF and Radar Technology

Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (UAVs) popular among them are drones. Drones are used widely in many areas such as imaging, payload delivery, and recently amidst COVID-19 pandemic, for contactless delivery of medicines. Every technology has its pros and cons, while drones are being used for many useful purposes; they also pose a threat to personal privacy and national security. Therefore, it is of a great significance to deploy anti-drone system in a security sensitive area. So, we have developed a system using RF and Radar technology which aims in detecting the entry of an unauthorized UAV into the restricted area. The system has been designed in such a way that there are multiple checks to detect the presence of a drone. The drone detection unit makes use of a Radar sensor, RF Analyzer and an optical camera. Positive response is mandatory from all the three sensors in order to confirm that an unauthorized UAV has entered the restricted area.
