  • Publication number: 20260147109
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a control station for controlling a first co-operating unmanned aerial vehicle, a radar system or ground based radar system configured to scan for objects within a detection coverage range and to provide scan data indicative of objects detected within the coverage range, and processing circuitry configured to generate full data type radar plots based on obtained scan data, select irregular type radar plots from full data type radar plots, generate and store one or more UAV object tracks, receive telemetric data and/or transponder data for said first UAV, determine for each UAV object track whether there is a match between data of the UAV object track and corresponding telemetric data and/or transponder data for said first UAV, and classify the UAV of a UAV object track as a first co-operating UAV when predetermined matching conditions are fulfilled.

  • Patent number: 12189020
    Abstract: A Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave, FMCW, radar system is provided. The radar system comprises one or more antennas configured to transmit and receive FMCW radar wave signals for scanning for objects within a full circular detection coverage range, and processing circuitry configured to provide scan data based on transmitted and received FMCW radar signals and azimuth position of the antenna(s).

The radar system comprises one or more antennas configured to transmit and receive FMCW radar wave signals for scanning for objects within a full circular detection coverage range, and processing circuitry configured to provide scan data based on transmitted and received FMCW radar signals and azimuth position of the antenna(s). In a first aspect, the processing circuitry is configured to generate first type radar plots, where each first type radar plot holds range, radial velocity and return energy data for one or more detected objects, and configured to generate second type radar plots, where each second type radar holds azimuth, range and return energy data for one or more detected objects.
