| Summary: | |
|
Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) pose significant security issues, as it is proven on many unfortunate occasions worldwide. Due to their low-cost and unlicensed accessibility, small drones can be used by unauthorized users to carry dangerous items, spot on classified sites, interfere with air traffic, and for other undesired purposes. Apart from clear homeland security applications, it is quite evident that in the near future, small drone traffic in an urban environment will grow exponentially, raising a clear need to deploy reliable monitoring systems. |

Aim 1 – Single CW radar Objective 1.1 - frequency comb generation in a silica microsphere whispering-gallery-mode resonator (WGMR). Objective 1.2 - radiation of RF, generated by the bit frequency in the diode. Objective 1.3 - measurements of Doppler shifts. Objective 1.4 - extracting Doppler information from an optical link Objective 1.5 - detecting a drone with CW radar on fiber outdoors. Aim 2 – CW chain of radars for spatial localization. Objective 2.1 - developing triangulation algorithms. Objective 2.2 - demonstration of 2-3 CW radar on a fiber. Objective 2.3 - parallel acquisition of Doppler signals with several radars. Objective 2.4 - outdoor experiment with several CW radars Aims 3 and 4 - FMCW architecture |
