Skyshield: Detecting and Tracking Multiple Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Real-Time

摘要

A 24 GHz medium-range human detecting sensor, using the Doppler Radar Physiological Sensing (DRPS) technique, which can also detect multiple small unmanned aerial vehicle (sUAV), is currently under development for potential rescue and anti-drone applications. DRPS systems are specifically designed to remotely monitor small movements of non-metallic human tissues such as cardiopulmonary activity and respiration. Once optimized, the unique capabilities of DRPS could be used to detect and track multi-sUAV. Initial measurements have shown that DRPS technology is able to detect moving and stationary humans, as well as largely non-metallic multi-rotor drone helicopters. Further data processing will incorporate pattern recognition to detect and track multiple signatures (motor vibration and hovering patterns) of multi-sUAV.
