Development of the Concept of a Uav Detection and Neutralization System Using Interceptor Drones

The article presents the concept of a hardware and software system for detecting and neutralizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using interceptor drones. The proposed system uses passive radars that combine different physical detection principles, such as acoustic, radio, and optical. The data obtained is combined to accurately determine the target’s coordinates in airspace. Target coordinates are calculated based on geometric models of a sphere and a spheroid, which ensure an error of no more than 0.3%. The use of interceptor drones makes it possible to cost-effectively neutralize enemy UAVs due to their high maneuverability and the ability to use precision guidance. The successful implementation of the system can significantly increase airspace security and improve the defense capabilities of the ground forces. It has been demonstrated that spheroid-based calculations provide higher accuracy due to the conformity of the WGS 84 model to the shape of the Earth, while the spherical model is easier to implement. The obtained results confirm the feasibility of creating such systems for use in modern conditions of military threats.
