Application: Uspicious aircraft countermeasure device, suspicious aircraft countermeasure method, and recording medium (Patent ID: US20240097813A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp. describes a device and method for dealing with suspicious unmanned aircraft in surveillance airspace while ensuring the safety of authorized aircraft. The device includes a detection unit to identify the intrusion of a suspicious aircraft and an instruction unit to command the evacuation of authorized aircraft from the area containing the suspicious aircraft. Once the authorized aircraft has evacuated, the device issues commands to address the suspicious aircraft within the surveillance airspace. The device can detect suspicious aircraft based on information from sensors like radar, LIDAR, and cameras, as well as information from social networking services.
The patent also outlines a method for implementing the device, involving detecting the entry of suspicious aircraft into surveillance airspace, evacuating authorized aircraft from the area containing the suspicious aircraft, and issuing countermeasure commands against the suspicious aircraft. The method includes processes for receiving information from various sensors for detecting unmanned aircraft, acquiring information from social networking services, and adjusting the countermeasure area based on the movement and trajectory of the suspicious aircraft. The patent aims to provide a comprehensive solution for managing unauthorized unmanned aircraft in surveillance airspace while ensuring the safety of authorized aircraft.
