Active Drone Detection

Active drone detection involves emitting signals to detect the presence of drones. Systems transmit radio waves or light pulses, which reflect off objects and return to the sensor, providing information about the object’s location and movement.

Examples of active drone detection methods:

  • Radars emit radio waves that bounce off objects and return to the sensor, providing information about the objects’ location and movement.
  • LiDARs emit light pulses that reflect off objects and return to the sensor, providing information about the objects’ location and movement.
