Anti-Drone System

Abstract

As the civilian drone market is flourishing with smarter, faster, and more maneuverable drones, concern grows about their use in a way they are not meant to be used. They can be used to invade people's privacy. They can also pose a serious threat to public safety and national security for example in airports. This project aims to counter those threats using an Anti-drone system or a counter-UAV which will be more affordable to civilians. The currently available systems are either too expensive or limited to the closed military market. There are many ways in which people can immobilize a UAV. The most effective way is to use highly focused energy like laser, microwaves, or particle beams. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. This project is going to employ a laser/high power antenna paired with a fully integrated target seek and acquisition system to counter drone threats.
