Abstract: Radar systems and methods detecting and tracking an unmanned aerial system (UAS) are provided. The radar system and methods can include determining whether or not a UAS is included in the plurality of electromagnetic signals received by the radar system based on one or more expected frequencies that one or more UAS devices use to transmit signals to remote controls. The radar systems and method can also involve switching the radar system into a track mode upon detecting a UAS.

Abstract: An array antenna is provided that operates at high-band and low-band, comprising a first array of high-band radiators and a second array of low-band radiators, each respective low-band radiator disposed so as to be interleaved between the high-band radiators so as to share an aperture with the high-band radiators. Each low-band radiator comprises a coaxial section, a dielectric section, a waveguide, and a planar section. The dielectric section is formed of a continuous piece of dielectric material and includes a hollow opening formed perpendicular to the coaxial section, and a plurality of step transitions, wherein at least one of the step transitions is disposed within and partially fills the waveguide operably coupled to the planar section. The planar section is oriented to the portion of high-band radiators such that the output of the respective low-band radiator is disposed between and within the spacing between adjacent high-band-radiators.
