Deterrent for unmanned aerial systems using data mining and/or machine learning for improved target detection and classification

A method, comprising:

• integrating sensor data from a plurality of individual sensor systems corresponding to an unmanned target, at least some of the sensor data comprising detected radio frequency signals corresponding to the unmanned target;
• identifying radio frequency spectral signatures associated with the unmanned target;
• employing machine learning including a neural network to generate an interdict transmission signal based on the identification of the spectral signatures associated with the unmanned target, the machine learning tailoring the interdict transmission signal comprising a harmonic and thereby having differences from received RF signals associated with the unmanned target that exploit vulnerabilities in electronic controls of the unmanned target;
• and
• transmitting the interdict transmission signal to remotely deter, control or disrupt the unmanned target.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

• integrating sensor data from a plurality of individual sensor systems, the sensor data corresponding to an unmanned target including received radio frequency signals associated with the unmanned target;
• employing at least one artificial neural network implementing artificial intelligence to eliminate electromagnetic clutter and identify radio frequency spectral signatures associated with the unmanned target and to generate an interdict transmission signal based on an identification of the radio frequency spectral signatures associated with the target, the generated interdict transmission signal being different from the received radio frequency spectral signatures associated with the target, the neural network tailoring the interdict transmission signal to comprise a harmonic that exploits vulnerabilities in electronic controls of the unmanned target;
• and
• transmitting the interdict transmission signal to deter, control, or disrupt the unmanned target.
