20230095085 · 2023-03-30 ·

A system, method and computer program product for controlled drone descent, and deactivation, including a drone deactivation system; and a location system. The drone deactivation system calculates positioning, signal reception, signal strength, and signal identification parameters of a target drone from the location system, and determines an attack method based on the calculated parameters. The drone deactivation system employs the determined attack method against the target drone for forcing at least one of controlled drone descent, and deactivation of the target drone.

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.

ALGORITHM AND TECHNIQUES FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION INTERFERENCE PARAMETER ESTIMATION IN LOW-SWAP ENVIRONMENT

Techniques for providing a multi-stage iterative scheme to determine fine granularity estimates of parameters of an interfering signal and for using the fine granularity estimates of the parameters to reduce an impact of the interfering signal against a signal of interest (SOI) are disclosed. An input signal is identified. A first set of estimation parameters that provide a coarse granularity estimate of a center frequency of the jamming signal and of a symbol rate of the jamming signal are determined. The first set of estimation parameters are refined to generate a medium granularity estimate of the center frequency and the symbol rate of the jamming frequency. The medium granularity estimates are also refined to produce a fine granularity estimate of the center frequency and the symbol rate. The fine granularity estimates are used to remove or reduce an influence of the jamming signal on the input signal.

Magnetic stripe reader tamper protection
09852422 · 2017-12-26 · ·

A technique for tamper protection of incoming data signal to an electronic device is disclosed. An intentional interference signal is generated and modulated onto the incoming data signal as one composite input signal, to prevent unauthorized acquisition of valid data from the incoming data signal. The magnitude of the interference signal is adjusted to correspond to the magnitude of the incoming data signal, thereby preventing an attacker from properly differentiating the two different signals and/or decoding the valid data from the composite input signal. Once the composite input signal is safely received within the device, the interference signal can be filtered out in either analog mode or digital mode.
