Identification method for detecting locations of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicle detection apparatus for performing the same

An identification method performed in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the identification method comprising:

• receiving an identification information request message from a UAV detection apparatus during flying;
• changing a flight direction of the UAV to a location of the UAV detection apparatus based on a global positioning system (GPS) location included in the identification information request message;
• and
• transmitting an identification information response message to the UAV detection apparatus in the changed flight direction.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detection apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• transmit a radar signal for detecting a UAV, based on a detection distance of the UAV detection apparatus;
• detect a plurality of UAVs existing within the detection distance according to a radar signal reflected from each of the plurality of UAVs;
• transmit an identification information request message to each of the detected plurality of UAVs;
• receive an identification information response message from a UAV that receives the identification information request message;
• compare a number of identification information response messages that are received and a number of identification information request messages that are transmitted to the plurality of UAVs;
• and
• transmit a transmission completion message to a UAV that transmits an identification information response message, based on a comparison result.
