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, apparatuses, and methods are described for a privacy blocking device configured to prevent receipt, by a listening device, of video and/or audio data until a trigger occurs. A blocker may be configured to prevent receipt of video and/or audio data by one or more microphones and/or one or more cameras of a listening device. The blocker may use the one or more microphones, the one or more cameras, and/or one or more second microphones and/or one or more second cameras to monitor for a trigger. The blocker may process the data. Upon detecting the trigger, the blocker may transmit data to the listening device. For example, the blocker may transmit all or a part of a spoken phrase to the listening device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling identifying a configuration of a set of time intervals for communication with the base station, the set of time intervals including a subset of the time intervals for which the UE is to perform a physical layer security procedure. In some cases, the UE may activate a timer associated with performing the physical layer security procedure in response to a trigger. The UE and the base station may communicate one or more messages using the physical layer security procedure, for example, in the subset of the time intervals identified by the control signaling, while the timer is active, or both. The physical layer security procedure may involve the UE performing physical layer security encoding, signal jamming, or both.

A microphone jammer includes a base and a signal generator mounted to the base. The signal generator is configured to generate an ultrasonic signal. The jammer also includes one or more transducers mounted to the base and configured to transmit the ultrasonic signal. The one or more transducers are mounted in a curved layout about the base.

Systems, and method and computer readable media that store instructions for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit.

A radio frequency (RF) jamming device includes a differential segmented aperture (DSA), a jammer source outputting a jamming signal at one or more frequencies or frequency bands to be jammed, and RF electronics that amplify and feed the jamming signal to the DSA so as to emit a jamming beam. The DSA includes an array of electrically conductive tapered projections, and the RF electronics comprise power splitters configured to split the jamming signal to aperture pixels of the DSA. The aperture pixels comprise pairs of electrically conductive tapered projections of the array of electrically conductive tapered projections. The RF electronics further comprise pixel power amplifiers, each connected to amplify the jamming signal fed to a single corresponding aperture pixel of the DSA. The RF jamming device may include a rifle-shaped housing, with the DSA mounted at a distal end of the barrel of the rifle-shaped housing.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying, tracking, and disrupting UAVs are described herein. A tracking system can include one or more first computing devices that receive sensor data associated with an object in a particular airspace from one or more sensors. The first computing device can analyze the sensor data relating to the object to determine information about the object. A portable countermeasure device can include one or more second computing devices. The second computing device can receive the information relating to the object. The second computing device can display a visual indicator indicating the information on a display.

A method for processing information related to one or more monitored areas, the method may include receiving by a central control unit, UAV indicators about at least one unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) located within the one or more monitored areas; wherein the UAV indicators are generated by a preprocessing step that comprises extracting information that is embedded within sensed UAV communication, the sensed UAV communication is sensed by at least one sensor of a group of sensors; aggregating, by a central control unit, the UAV indicators, to provide aggregated information; and responding to the aggregated information, wherein the responding comprises at least one out of (i) outputting the aggregated information, and (ii) storing the aggregated information.
