Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for intercepting a target UAV by releasing a plurality of countermeasure (CM) objects in a projected path thereof to form a 3D countermeasure cloud. Pieces of flexible materials configured to become ensnared in the propellers of the target UAV or otherwise interfere with their ability to provide lift and thrust capabilities to the UAV. A UAV interception control system may track the target UAV and compute a location probability volume therefor using a modified Kalman filter to decide on a projected interception location and time.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing background noise captured by a UAV acoustic sensor are disclosed. The background noise may be reduced by incorporating a known UAV acoustic signature corresponding to a determined flight parameter into an adaptive filter coupled to the acoustic sensor.
