Abstract
The number of incidents between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and aircrafts at airports
and airfields has been increasing over the last years. To address the problem, in this paper we describe a portable system capable of protecting areas against unauthorized UAVs, which is based on the use of low-cost SDR (software defined radio) platforms. The proposed anti-UAV system supports target localization and integrates effective jamming techniques with the generation of global positioning system (GPS) spoofing signals aimed at the drone. Real-life tests of the implemented prototype have shown that the proposed approach is capable of stopping the reliable reception of radionavigation signals and can also divert or even take control of unauthorized UAVs, whose flight path depends on
the information obtained by the GPS system.
