 • Introduction on Anti-Drone Systems

• Challenges faced in civilian technology

• Drone Detection

• Drone Identification

• Drone Neutralization

• Conclusion

Department of ECE 02
 • Used to detect and/or intercept unwanted
drones and unmanned aerial vehicles
• To protect areas such as airports, stadiums,
infrastructures, military bases, battlefield sites
• Expansion of drone industry has surpassed
regulations for safe and secure drone
operation
Department of ECE 03
 • Anti-Drones are devised to defend against
drone accidents, terrorism
• Introduction of drones into civilian technology,
they are now gaining attention as threat to
safety
• Analysing anti-drone that do not use military
weapons
Department of ECE 04
 • Most anti-drone systems adopt military grade
components to destruct malicious drones
• Military anti-drone use jamming systems to
disable target drone
• Jammer neutralize drone risks but also
paralyze existing wireless sensor networks

Department of ECE 05
 • Weapons such as missiles are not allowed for
civilian systems
• Methods such as hijacking or capturing are
solutions
• Safety and security must be evaluated in order
to cope with drone’s defence mechanism

Department of ECE 06
 • Drones emit heat, sound, RF signals

• Detection system collects sensor data

• It specifies drones’ expected locations

• Motors, batteries, internal hardware emit

specific heat read by thermal cameras
• Advantage in weather resilience, identification
but the range is short
Department of ECE 07
 • RF scanner captures wireless signals

• Radar based detection detects physical objects

and determines shape
• Optical camera detection have been widely
invested for anti-drone
• Acoustic signal detection sensing signal
emitted from motors
Department of ECE 08
 • If detected drone is illegal and hence should
be neutralized
• Should be performed accurately, robustly, and
promptly
• Drone tracking and Flight estimation

• System uses vision information for tracking

and path estimation
Department of ECE 09
 • RFID is widely adopted for identification and
real-time location systems
• Distinguish between licensed and unlicensed

• Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast

• Provides information such as altitude, GPS,

identification of number of aircrafts

Department of ECE 010

 • Operation suppress the drones’ movements

• Destructive and non-destructive methods

• Drone hijacking means defending operator

stake control of the target drone
• Drone spoofing means operator generates
fake signal to prevent target drone from
moving as intended
Department of ECE 011
 • Geofence prevents target drones from
approaching a specific point.
• Drone jamming paralyzes communication
between target drone and controller
• Killer drone track target drones and attempt to
damage them
• Drone capture
Department of ECE 012
 • Designing anti-drone systems without military
grade weapons for civilian purpose
• Accurate and effective systems are required to
cope with high-speed, high-security, and
three-dimensional attacks
• Contributes to expand drone-safety zones
without weaponry
