Dual-grip portable countermeasure device against unmanned systems
A portable countermeasure device is provided comprising one or more directional antennae, one or more disruption components and at least one activator. The portable countermeasure device further comprises a body having a dual-grip configuration, with the directional antennae are affixed to a front portion of the body. The one or more disruption components may be internally mounted within the device body. The dual-grip configuration allows an operator to use his body to steady and support the device while maintaining the antenna on target. The second grip is positioned adjacent the first grip, with the first grip angled toward the rear of the device and the second grip angled toward the front of the device. The portable countermeasure device is aimed at a specific drone, the activator is engaged, and disruptive signals are directed toward the drone, disrupting the control, navigation, and other signals to and from the drone.
WIDEBAND PHOTONIC RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) NOISE GENERATOR
A photonic random signal generator includes an incoherent optical source configured to generate an optical noise signal, a filter configured to generate a filtered optical noise signal using the optical noise signal, a coupler, a photodetector, a filter, and a limiter. The coupler couples the filtered optical noise signal and a delayed version of the filtered optical noise signal to generate a first coupled signal and a second coupled signal. The photodetector generates an output signal representative of a phase difference between the filtered optical noise signal and the delayed version of the filtered optical noise signal using the first coupled signal and the second coupled signal. The filter filters the output signal representative of the phase difference to generate an analog random signal. The limiter thresholds the analog random signal based on a clock signal, to generate a digital random signal.
DETERRENT FOR UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS
A system for providing integrated detection and deterrence against an unmanned vehicle including but not limited to aerial technology unmanned systems using a detection element, a tracking element, an identification element and an interdiction or deterrent element. Elements contain sensors that observe real time quantifiable data regarding the object of interest to create an assessment of risk or threat to a protected area of interest. This assessment may be based e.g., on data mining of internal and external data sources. The deterrent element selects from a variable menu of possible deterrent actions. Though designed for autonomous action, a Human in the Loop may override the automated system solutions.
IDENTIFYING, TRACKING, AND DISRUPTING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying, tracking, and disrupting UAVs are described herein. Sensor data can be received from one or more portable countermeasure devices or sensors. The sensor data can relate to an object detected proximate to a particular airspace. The system can analyze the sensor data relating to the object to determine a location of the object and determine that the object is flying within the particular airspace based at least in part on location data. A portable countermeasure device can be identified that corresponds to the location of the object. The system can transmit information about the object to the identified portable countermeasure device. The portable countermeasure device can transmit additional data relating to the object to the system.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING, TRACKING AND IDENTIFYING SMALL UNMANNED SYSTEMS SUCH AS DRONES
A system for providing integrated detection and countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles include a detecting element, a location determining element and an interdiction element. The detecting element detects an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight in the region of, or approaching, a property, place, event or very important person. The location determining element determines the exact location of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The interdiction element can either direct the unmanned aerial vehicle away from the property, place, event or very important person in a non-destructive manner, or can cause disable the unmanned aerial vehicle in a destructive manner.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISRUPTING UNAUTHORIZED COMMUNICATIONS IN LOW FREQUENCY RADIO COMMUNICATION DEVICES
Systems and methods for disrupting unauthorized communication in low frequency radio communication devices are provided. Traditional systems and methods may fail to provide for disrupting unauthorized communications by generating low frequency signals in the same band as the low frequency bands of the low frequency radio communication devices. Embodiments of the present disclosure provides for overcoming the limitations faced by the traditional systems and methods by generating, via a square wave generator and a device coil of a low frequency radio communication device, low frequency signals; integrating the low frequency signals on a computing device by implementing a power controlling technique; and disrupting, via the integrated low frequency signals on the computing device, unauthorized communications in the low frequency radio communication device.
