The technologies of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have seen extremely rapid development in recent years. UAV technologies are being developed much faster than the means of their legislation. There have been many means of UAV detection and neutralization proposed in recent research; nonetheless, all of them have serious disadvantages. The essential problems in the detection of UAVs is the small size of UAVs, weak radio wave reflection, weak radio signal, and sound emitting. The main problem of conventional UAV countermeasures is the short detection and neutralization range. The authors propose the concept of the airborne counter-UAV platform (consisting of several vehicles) with radar. We use a low-cost marine radar with a high resolution 2 m wide antenna, embedded into the wing. Radar scanning is implemented by changing the heading of the aircraft. For the countermeasures, the authors suggest using a small rotorcraft UAV carried by a bigger fixed-wing one. A mathematical model that allows the calculation of the coordinates of the detected drone while scanning the environment in a moving UAV with radar was created. Furthermore, the results of integrated radar performance with a detected drone and the results of successful neutralization experiments of different UAVs were achieved.
The need for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver testing increases with the advent of widespread Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and other electronic devices dependent on position determination. In this paper, a low-cost GNSS multiband L1+L5 signal recorder and replayer for equipment testing purposes is proposed. It is implemented using Software-Defined Radio (SDR) modules HackRF One with proper time and phase synchronisation. The recorder–replayer has been tested with GPS, GALILEO, BEIDOU and GLONASS satellites and several commercial GNSS receivers. Reduced GNSS signal bandwidth of approximately 10 MHz is sufficient for efficient reception of recorded signals. Performed tests with a driving car show applicability of this GNSS recorder–replayer in dynamic settings.
