ADS: Study on the Anti-Drone System: Today’s Capability and Limitation

In this paper, we conduct an industry-leading examination of anti-drone systems specifically for the RCS 0.01m

class, aiming to safeguard civilian establishments from escalating drone threats. Given the constraints of deploying anti-drone systems ubiquitously across all public and private facilities, our attention is directed toward emerging anti-drone technologies, both lethal and non-lethal. We carry out a succinct exploration across different stages of anti-drone defense, including detection, tracking, and soft/hard neutralization. Numerous trials across these sectors are reviewed, utilizing their insights to formulate a hypothetical model of an adaptable, cost-effective, and purpose-driven anti-drone system. Additionally, we explore prospective safety and security measures from the drone side, which may potentially invalidate current anti-drone tactics. It is our hope that this paper will serve as a practical guide for the selection of suitable anti-drone systems.
