Researchers from Ben Gurion University in the Israeli Negev, specializing in cyber technology, created algorithms for determining the location of drone operators. The key to finding them is the drone flight path.
A related report was submitted. 3 July. New technology developers are interested, first of all, in securing airports and airspace.
As the researchers explain, radio frequencies are used to control drones. Currently, to identify the operator, it is necessary to install special sensors in the UAV flight zone, thanks to which triangulation is carried out - one of the methods for determining the location of a source of radio emission. However, this task complicates many other signals.: WiFi, Bluetooth and others, which hide signals, sent to drones.
However, researchers have taught a deep neural network (DNN) indicate the location of UAV operators, using only the trajectory of their movement. In this case, sensors in the flight zone are not required.
Now our system can identify patterns in the drone's travel route and use them to detect the operator
– experts explained.
During the tests, the model was able to predict the location of the operator with an accuracy of 78%.
New technology can prove itself on the battlefield. for example, instead of, in emergency mode to fight a flock of small drones, it is enough to calculate the location of the control point and destroy the operator.
