The Existing Technologies on Anti-Drone Systems

Abstract

The paper presents the technologies currently available on the market in the field of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS -Counter Remotely Piloted Aircraft System). These include technologies with the help of radar, audio interception systems or via infrared and electro-optical devices, which are limited in remote sensing. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the multitude of factors that can influence the main mission of C-RPAS systems, the detection. Without detection the other features of a C-RPAS system could not be applied. I used specialized documents and studies, but also comparative analysis as research methods. The results of the study confirmed to me the hypothesis that anti-drone systems use in combination, one or more of the technologies (to detect, to recognize, to identify, to locate, to block, to capture or to destroy the drone). The first four (the detection, the recognition, the identification, the localization) are in the basic configuration for any C-RPAS system. In the future, there will be a challenge (for the producers of C-RPAS systems), the capture of the RPAS, especially the military ones. It is also important to prepare the operators / beneficiaries for such systems. They can influence the effectiveness of drone combat missions.
