Abstract: A drone detection system is configured to detect a presence of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a potential flight path of a piloted aircraft. A system processor in communication with the drone detection system determines whether the unmanned aerial vehicle presents a threat of collision and needs to be avoided by the piloted aircraft. A transmitter is controlled by the system processor and is configured to transmit, in response to detecting the presence of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a signal to interrupt flight commands sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle by a control transmitter for the unmanned aerial vehicle so as to remove the unmanned aerial vehicle from the potential flight path of the piloted aircraft.

Abstract: An automatic system to detect and avoid collisions between piloted aircraft operating at low altitudes and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). UAV's are typically remote controlled helicopters, quad-copters, airplanes and other airborne vehicles (e.g., Drones). Aircraft operating at low altitudes are subject to interference (accidental or purposefully) by those on the ground operating said UAV's, which is likely to cause great injury or death to the aircraft and its occupants.
