10051475 · 2018-08-14 · ·

A system detects unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and deploys electronic countermeasures against one or more UAVs that are determined to be a threat. A signal detector detects radio signals communicated between a remote control unit and UAV. A feature extractor extracts signal features from the detected radio signals, and a classifier processes the detected radio signals based on its signal features and determines whether the detected radio signals correspond to a known or unknown radio protocol. A threat analyzer determines if a detected UAV is a threat based on at least one of remote-sensing data and classification(s) of the detected radio signals. When a UAV system employs an unknown radio protocol, a mitigation engine synthesizes an exploit based on corresponding extracted signal features. A response analyzer detects a response from the UAV system when an exploit is activated and may adapt the exploit based on the response. In some cases, the exploits can be configured against a UAV in autopilot mode.
