Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying, tracking, and disrupting UAVs are described herein. A tracking system can identify an object in a particular airspace as a UAV based on sensor data associated with the object. A countermeasure device can generate one or more disruption signals toward the UAV. The tracking system can track and monitor the UAV based on additional sensor data.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, via a central system comprising one or more computing device, an object in a particular airspace as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on sensor data associated with the object;
- generating, via a countermeasure device, at least one disruption signal;
- transmitting the at least one disruption signal from the countermeasure device toward the UAV;
- and
- monitoring, via at least one of the central system and the countermeasure device, the UAV based on additional sensor data.
A system, comprising
- a central system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one computing device communicably coupled to the memory, the at least one computing device being configured to identify an object in a particular airspace as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on sensor data associated with the object;
- and
- a countermeasure device, comprising:
- a signal generator configured to generate at least one disruption signal;
- and
- at least one antenna configured to transmit the at least one disruption signal toward the UAV;
- wherein at least one of the central system and the countermeasure device is further configured to monitor the UAV based on additional sensor data.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying one or more program that, when executed by at least one first computing device of a central system and at least one second computing device of a countermeasure device, causes:
- the central system to:
- identify an object in a particular airspace as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on sensor data associated with the object;
- the countermeasure device to:
- generate at least one disruption signal;
- and
- transmit the at least one disruption signal toward the UAV;
- and
- at least one of the central system and the countermeasure device to:
- monitor the UAV based on additional sensor data.
