Design and Implementation of a RF Based Anti-Drone System

Abstract

Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles are having an increased popularity in all fields of applications such as transportation, traffic monitoring, military surveillance etc. However, this technology can be used for destruction when it fall in the hands of criminal, who are using it for terrorist or unauthorized activities. There is a rising demand for anti-drone systems, which can detect and block their activities in order to make full use of the great advantages provided by this technology. The project aims to provide a systematic design of a drone detection mechanism using the RF control signal exchanged between the drone and its remote controller. The system generates a high-power jamming signal transmitted over the same carrier frequency and band of the detected drone and directed towards the drone location in order to disconnect it from its controller causing it to land safely or trigger a mechanism to return it to home. This system is designed to work only at 2.4 GHz band.
