A Review of Counter-UAS Technologies for Cooperative Defensive Teams of Drones is an open-access work by Vittorio Ugo Castrillo, Angelo Manco, Domenico Pascarella, and Gabriella Gigante.
In recent years, the drone market has experienced significant growth, with applications spanning various sectors such as surveillance, rescue operations, intelligent logistics, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, and construction inspection. As drone usage increases, it is essential to address concerns related to safety, security, and privacy. Consequently, developing effective countermeasure systems to identify and neutralize malicious drones—classified as threats—has become a top priority.
This paper explores the concept of a multiplatform counter-UAS (CUS) system, primarily leveraging a team of mini-drones to function as a cooperative defensive network. To lay the groundwork for implementing such a system, we review existing sensing, mitigation, and command and control technologies that typically comprise a CUS, specifically focusing on their applicability and effectiveness for mini drones.
