Frequency-based Drone Detection using I-Hawk

Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have a wide range of uses in fields such as agriculture, delivery, search and rescue, and surveying. They can be incredibly beneficial but also harmful if used for illegal or malicious purposes like smuggling, illegal surveillance, terrorist attacks, industrial espionage, and privacy violation. Therefore, it’s important to regulate the use of drones and develop technology to detect and neutralize their misuse as well as strict laws and regulations to prevent them. A proposed design for a drone defense system utilizes a heat sensor and frequency jammer to detect and neutralize unauthorized drones. The system collects primary data by scanning all frequencies in use within a specific area and then compares this data to secondary data gathered by observing any illegal drone movements. By comparing primary and secondary data, the system can identify and jam any unauthorized frequencies in use. The heat sensor eliminates biological variables and safeguards the camera on the enemy drone, allowing the system to pinpoint exactly what was infiltrated. This approach not only detects the actions of the hostile drone but also preserves any information it has captured.
