Concept for a Software Defined Radio Based System for Detection, Classification and Analysis of Radio Signals from Civilian Unmanned Aerial Systems

The recent advances in the field of civilian Unmanned Aerial Systems have enabled a wide range of applications and facilitated their wide spread use. However, these systems can also pose a threat to the civilian population. As part of a research project to counter these threats, a Software Defined Radio based system for detection, classification and analysis of radio signals from civilan drones is proposed in this paper. A short look at related work, focusing on the application of machine learning techniques for the classification of radio signals is presented and a concept for the implementation of detection and classification system is proposed.
