Analyzing the methods of protection against First-Person View drone

The rapid growth of the drone industry has exceeded regulations for secure and safe drone operation, which makes them representative means of illegal and destructive terrors and crimes. With the introduction of drones into civilian technology, drones are now gaining attention as a threat to safety and security, which leverages the emergence of anti-drone (or counter-drone) technologies. Anti-drone systems are used to defend against drone accidents or terrorism. Currently, anti-drone systems preferably adapt military components to reach the confirmatory destruction of drones. However, several difficulties apply when locating military anti-drone systems in civilian areas. Military counter-drone systems often use jamming systems to attack the target drone control channel. The jammer generates an extremely high amplitude of radio signal in the target frequency band to prevent communication. However, for non-military applications, RF jamming to protect against high-speed drone risks potentially paralyzes existing wireless network systems, such as mobile access or wireless sensor networks. Thus, most national regulations prevent non-military use of jamming systems, and therefore civilian anti-drone systems should investigate other approaches to prevent illegal or unauthorized drones. Previously, radar was considered a less effective method for detecting drones due to the rigid nature of radar cross-sections (RCS). However, advancements in radar technology have now made it possible to detect a wide range of drones with a satisfactory level of accuracy. As a result, radar is increasingly being utilized for long-range drone detection. Despite this progress, the deployment of radar technology is still subject to national regulations, including RF licensing policies. The challenges and significant expenses associated with setting up drone detection radars have led civilian counter-drone initiatives to explore alternative detection techniques, such as optical (vision-based) systems and RF signal detection methods. Civilian approaches to neutralizing drones typically involve non-lethal tactics such as system takeover or net capture. These tactics serve as a technical counterbalance to the drones' inherent safety and stability features, and there is a growing demand for research into both aspects. To make significant progress in this competitive field, it's crucial to systematically enhance anti-drone systems. This involves designing them to counteract drones' defensive maneuvers by adaptively countering their evasion techniques. This requires a thorough assessment of the latest research in drone security and safety, aiming to improve upon traditional drone functionalities. The author conducts an extensive analysis of anti-drone measures. In light of recent drone-related disturbances, we focus on identifying the specific needs of anti-drone systems. The study proposed a new FPV protection method, reducing equipment weight, cost, and autonomy.
