UAV Detection

Description

The LGS Drone Scout is a millimeter wave radar system capable of detecting a small UAV or drone in a targeted area. Rotating objects such as the propellers on most drones create distinct micro-doppler signatures in the radar's return signal. By analyzing the change of the frequency components of this signal in relation to time, the existence and certain characteristics of a drone can be deduced. The frequencies and their magnitudes will be displayed in real-time to show the presence of a drone, along with reports of any features specific to the target including: number of rotors, velocity, and size of payload. The analog signals produced by the radar will be sampled by an ADC and processed using a Zynq-7000 SoC.
