Patent number: 11965977Abstract: A system for providing integrated detection and deterrence against an unmanned vehicle including but not limited to aerial technology unmanned systems using a detection element, a tracking element, an identification element and an interdiction or deterrent element. Elements contain sensors that observe real time quantifiable data regarding the object of interest to create an assessment of risk or threat to a protected area of interest. This assessment may be based e.g., on data mining of internal and external data sources. The deterrent element selects from a variable menu of possible deterrent actions. Though designed for autonomous action, a Human in the Loop may override the automated system solutions.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: XiDrone Systems, Inc.Inventors: Dwaine A. Parker, Damon E. Stern, Lawrence S. Pierce

Publication number: 20220011422Abstract: A system for providing integrated detection and countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles include a detecting element, a location determining element and an interdiction element. The detecting element detects an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight in the region of, or approaching, a property, place, event or very important person. The location determining element determines the exact location of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The interdiction element can either direct the unmanned aerial vehicle away from the property, place, event or very important person in a non-destructive manner, or can cause disable the unmanned aerial vehicle in a destructive manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventors: Dwaine A. PARKER, Damon E. STERN, Lawrence S. PIERCE
