Airspace Counter Drone System (ACDS) using observer drones to detect unidentified aerial object in LoRa mesh network.
With the increasing popularity of UAVs, they have become more easily accessible to the public, companies, and even terrorists. This has raised the need for having a Counter Drone System (CDS). There have already been several attempts of implementing a CDS, but Ground Counter Drone System (GCDS) has a geological restriction and Airspace Counter Drone System (ACDS) in NASA research uses a WiFi mesh network which is fast but consumes high-power. The system is ACDS uses observer drones to detect unidentified aerial object in LoRa mesh network.
to the ground for detection, so we can use low-data-rate and long-range communication technology. network coverage to be expanded just by adding a new drone.
The system is classified into three:
- Ground LoRa mesh network - Base station where communicate with UAVs by LoRa mesh network
- Node LoRa mesh network - UAV which communicate with ground and UAV by LoRa mesh network
- Detection - Small and simple UAV detection model
The system consist of LoRa mesh network and detection is developed on Arduino and run on ESP32-WROVER.
