Aerial Drone Defense System based on Software Defined Radio Platforms

Abstract

With the ever-increasing number of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (U A V) or drones, the necessity of designing and implementing systems that are able to provide protection against related security threats became a critical issue. Many agencies and governmental institutions started to develop anti-drone solutions using different approaches. In this paper, a review of mobile drone defense systems (DDS) is made, and an aerial DDS based on software defined radio (SDR) platforms is proposed. The proposed DDS is described from both hardware and software points of view. The three functions that are implemented: detection, localization and defense are detailed.
