New BYU research aiming to do what FAA can’t — track low-flying drones

Summary

Nutrition label

87% Informative

Radar -based drone tracking technology developed by BYU researchers could be game-changing first step toward managing air traffic.

Drones are difficult to track using traditional radar systems, which best track objects with large radar cross sections and at higher altitudes than ones at which unmanned aerial systems typically operate.

System could be integrated with airport tracking radar to help avoid interactions between drones and piloted aircraft.

The system has only been tested in a controlled, small-scale setting.

It could be deployed in a multitude of settings, including civilian or military air field operations.

The small radars don’t have all the capabilities of a higher-end radar, but a network of smaller radars can work together effectively.
