Real-Time Tracking of Drone Targets

  Validating a drone threat is surely a hard thing to do. However, Droneshield, who strives to evolve as a global leader in the field of optical detection and tracking has partnered with the University of Technology Sydney in crafting the award winning AI engine DroneOptID. The software is embedded with the latest in Computer Vision technology to detect, identify and track drone targets in real time. The presence of unmanned aerial systems flying over almost anywhere have posed several issues on security. This is the very reason for the existence of a counterdrone. For as long as the cause of the existence of these unmanned aerial systems are unknown, they remain classified as threats, thus, one has to establish some form of counterdrone protection. Most of the targets of these unmanned aerial systems are crowded places such as stadiums or concert halls, public markets and other public spaces. For closed spaces with a lot of people such as stadiums, Droneshield offers counterdrone ...

However alongside its benefits are the downsides associated with its misuse.  Just like any type of technology, drones too can be misused. Examples of their misuse could include causing disruption to other neutral aircrafts. As of today, news has reported several unmanned aircraft systems flying everywhere. Reports have confirmed some drones have been misused to spy on target public areas to cause disruptions. They have been targeting crowded places such as stadiums, concert halls and even airports. Counter Drones have actually evolved due to these drone misuses. Since airports are among those that have been frequently targeted, antidrone airports came into existence.  C-UAS airports have become functional in Australia since the year 2019. Drone-related disruptions on airports have triggered the presence of these C-UAS airports. To detect suspicious rogue drones that might caus...
